Rocket Languages review criteria
I can read French and chose Rocket French because I needed to learn how to pronounce the language correctly and acquire conversational skills for an upcoming visit to France. The course meets these needs and is well structured; words and grammar from early lessons come back in later ones to reinforce what I've learned (or forgotten). The phone app is especially valuable because it uses speech recognition to grade my pronunciation and catch my errors; I wish the browser version did this as well.
The user interface makes it easy for me to report problems and the staff is very responsive in either referring them to the development team or clarifying things I misunderstood.

Thanks, Bill! It's always exciting to hear how our users plan to use their language skills. We're sorry that you are unable to get your pronunciation graded on the web version; this should be available as long as you are using a browser we support. Reach out to our customer support team, and we'd be happy to help you out with this!
I like that I can listen AND see the words but I really, really wish the speaker's buttons worked better so that I could hear the phrase repeatedly, once for each click.

I like this program because it touches all the bases (reading, writing, listening and speaking), introduces very usable vocabulary from the start and I really like the cultural and grammar part. The storyline is entertaining.
The only thing that I don't like is the sound quality in the exercises, I have to replay the words/sentences nearly every time because of the stuttering playback. The second time is perfect.

pretty easy to follow and complete course, I love it so far. I would only like for the voice recognition to be a little more accurate and to have random automatic repetition of the lessons to recap previous concepts.

Thank you for the feedback, Andres! It's really useful to us to know what our users would find helpful in their language learning. When it comes to the voice recognition, just drop us a line at [email protected], and we'll be more than happy to help make sure it is performing as accurately as possible.
So far so good. I like the diversity of approaches - grammar, vocabulary, cards, writing what you hear, speaking... The voice recognition is an important part of the course and is great when it works. Unfortunately, a significant portion of the time it does not - on random occasions it can not detect any sound. And I am not sure what to say about the customer service, I don't know how to access that feature.

Nothing to share at this point. Need to attend more classes to form an opinion

No problem, Avijit! After you've tried out a few more lessons, feel free to get in touch and share your thoughts!
I was able to get it for free so that was awesome. I think that it's a lot better than Duolingo and it teaches you real stuff. The frustrating part is that the audio won't pick up on your non-native accent very well. I wish they had different graph options to track your point progress.
