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.

Response from Rocket Languages

We’re sorry to hear the voice recognition has been causing frustration, Leo. That’s certainly not the experience we want for our learners. If you're open to it, we’d be happy to troubleshoot this with you at [email protected]. Reach out at any time and we'll get your language learning back on track!

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

Response from Rocket Languages

Thanks for sharing this with us, Lynda. We’re sorry the microphone has been inconsistent—that’s definitely not the experience we want for learners. If the issue persists, please reach out to support ([email protected]) so we can help get things running smoothly again. We appreciate you being part of the Rocket French community!

Emphasis on pronunciation is nice, but the voice recognition is utterly horrible. It only works about 40% of the time on the first go. I find myself just skipping it because it's so bad.

Response from Rocket Languages

We’re sorry to hear you’re having trouble with voice recognition. Please reach out to our support team at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to help ensure everything is set up correctly.

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.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Mark - The Android and iOS apps have been fully updated, and you can now play the Interactive Audio courses in the background.

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.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Bruce - I am sorry to hear your feedback. We have though just added in full French translations for every part of the Travelogues, as well as full recordings of the Travelogue scripts, so they now work very much like the Interactive Audio lessons from Levels 1-3.

I can't. you won't let the honest responses be submitted. there is nothing awesome about your program. Neither, do you respond in a timely manner to concerns. So if you want honest then let them be submitted
