Rocket French Reviews

I think the course is very good - I am learning quite a lot of things I hadn't understood previously. My only criticism is that in the 'flashcards' and the 'speaking' revision it never specifies whether to use the formal or informal forms for 'you' or 'we' (tu or vous and nous or on). I find this quite frustrating as I'm sure others do, it's hard enough learning a language without the negative effect of using the wrong form when answering the revision questions. It would be quite simple to signify which form to use: if you are to use the formal form just put an 'f' in brackets before or after the phrase, and then if there wasn't an 'f' people would then know to use the informal form.

As most people say the speech recognition, whether if I use a wired microphone, airpods or powerbeats, Rocket does not work consistently when speaking. My girlfriend got so frustrated that she went back to Duolingo. I am using chrome and it is up to date. Rocket is good but if you cannot practice speech then it is subpar. This problem is common in the the comments so why can't it be rectified???

Problems with audio capture are very annoying. Many times, I could hear myself on the playback of the recording, but there was an error saying that there was no audio. It's really hard to stay focused on the course why the speech recognition keeps upsetting me, and learning while upset is more difficult.

I find the microphone goes haywire after a few of my responses. It will give strange responses or fails to respond at all.

I am only using the free trial period (for now) and I am very impressed with the content, that as soon as I'm able to I am purchasing the full French course. Thank for for a superb website that offers more than you'd expect to get for free.

I am having trouble getting the accent right. This is impeding my progress. I need to re-watch, read and listen many times and still my accent is terrible. This is a lot more work than I expected, but I will plug onward.

I really like the interactive dialog with the conversation and chance to practice and record my responses and am pleased about what I've learned thus far. However, I really wish they would have more of this in each module vs. the 'self study'/written portions in each module. I learn best when I hear conversation/dialog vs. the dictation/response of the lessons. For example in module 1 there are 5 lessons of conversation but 10 lessons of pure dictation/response. This doesn't suit my learning style well.

Disappointed with not being able to download on android, windows, or apple platforms. This defeats the purpose of my purchase - wanted to listen during work drive. Also app not allowing the voice option. Why browser version only?

Not able to take quiz on android app.

Naturally being moving to upper levels by studying hard. Something interesting is a sound that serves me how to pronounce it. Of course its best part is to record my voice just before learn it thoroughly. Thank you very much for all the preparations you have designed for us.

I was very satisfied with Rocket French Intermediate, so I purchased the Travelogue. Unfortunately, the Travelogue was highly disappointing. It is of very limited value as a language learning tool, and its interest as a cultural document was modest at best. I can't imagine wanting to go through it more than once. Additionally, it is poorly recorded or edited, with the French dialogue for some reason sounding muffled. After a good initial experience with Rocket French, this course has soured me on the program.
