It is thorough, using many of one's senses so as to cross-wire the learning
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you are finding the course thorough and that it is engaging all of your senses. All the best with your French!
It is very good over all, I do not like that the system seems to have trouble picking up one syllable words, but besides that I am enjoying the program very much!

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with certain words. We have sent you an email to follow up on this. All the best!
I like the fact that you can record your voice. This way you know how you sound to other
French speakers.

We're so glad to hear that you are enjoying our voice recognition software. We're certain that it is helping you perfect your French pronunciation. We wish you all the best with the rest of the course!
Great product; an overall fantastic way to learn/practice a language. However, the narrator's pronunciation in the Rocket French lessons (level 2) is comically bad at best and cringe-worthy at worst. A great example of what NOT to say. For context of my experience, I recently finished Pimsleur's 5 levels of French which is strictly focused on speaking and listening. Pimsleur is better in that regard, however, I don't recommend buying two services like I did. Rocket French seems to take you closer to fluency. I'm sure you can get everything you need from Rocket Languages. Salut !

If you are looking to learn a language. I recommend giving rocket languages a try.
Pros:
Audio focused
forces you to listen to every new term/phrase
forces you to speak new terms/phrases and lets you hear back your voice back to compare
Also grades your speech on chrome automatically
lets you rate yourself and then you go back and review what you thought was okay or hard
I got it for ~$180 and get permanent access for about 230 hours of content
Cons:
No clear function for long term spaced repetition
Not enough spontaneity like writings essays or responding words organized in a new way(that's not already pre-planned)
You only cover everything in the ~20 minute audio lesson
No visual references if you care about that
You might lose your voice
Not gamified but I'm having fun
I think you need to use Anki, but its does everything better than duolingo or memrise when it comes to listening and speaking. While also providing a clear path compared to just venturing on yourself. Duolingo is better for grammar and conjugations, but you are at a much faster pace, its less repetitive, and you just can't tune out. It's not good for children or trying to get some else to learn. Ie. you need to participate and have a desire to learn.

Hi Brooke, thank you for your extensive feedback. It's great to hear that you recommend Rocket Languages and that our audio features are supporting your learning. Regarding spaced repetition, we actually already apply this learning strategy to our reinforcement activities, including "Flashcards," "Hear it! Say it!," etc. Additionally, when you purchase a course, you get lifetime access to it and can repeat the lessons as many times as you feel is necessary. We greatly appreciate your feedback and have passed your suggestions on to our Product Development team. We wish you all the best with your French language-learning journey!
This course is interesting. It has several ways to reinforce what is being taught.

This course literally replaces physical French tutors. With a good headphone and microphone, one is good to go. Bravo Rocket French

The interface is pretty clean and easy to use. But some of the voice recognition doesn't work for unknown reasons, and this is what a french buddy of mine trying it out as well.
