Hi Sandra, we're sorry to hear that you are feeling overwhelmed with the course content. We have sent you some tips via email to try and help you overcome this.
The microphone speaking part of the browser is terrible. I have 3 headsets (all expensive) and also used the microphone on the laptop. For simple words like Nom, Bonjour (I am getting zero or sorry I didn't catch that). I know I am not fluent yet, but i've got those words down, but the software occasionally wont get what i say. Very annoying...

Hi Jas, thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble with our voice recognition software. Our Customer Support team has reached out to you in order to help resolve this issue. We wish you all the best in your journey to learn French!
Additional grammar explanations helpful. The pronunciation of "Je" or "J' "changes significantly depending on the words and their grammatical spelling following "Je". Rote memorization is not a good approach when grammar determines pronunciation.
Response from Rocket Languages
Awesome to hear that you're enjoying our comprehensive Language and Culture lessons! We understand that rote memorization isn't everyone's cup of tea, which is why we offer three reinforcement activities focused on pronunciation at the end of each lesson.
The courses themselves are good however, Speech recognition is woeful.
Some days, there are no issues with speak recognition and then on others I often get many "no speech detected" errors followed by "speech recognition is busy". this makes the course unusable when this happens.

it doesn't pick up what you say and it sometimes just says the wrong thing even though its nearly indistinguishable from the prompt

Too many words introduced at a time to be able to truly memorize them. Lessons progress too quickly without real review on what has previously been taught. Need a way to review flashcards from all completed lessons in one spot. No response from customer service when a question asked.

Thank you for your feedback! I suggest checking out our Rocket Certification tests, under the "Tools" section, you'll find useful tests to recap what you've studied here. We're very sorry to hear that you did not receive our response to your question, Brenda. I have resent this to your email address, so you should have received it. All the best!

So far, I am finding it rather boring and tedious. Certainly don't look forward to undertaking a lesson. Capability to record and replay ones responses useful.

We're sorry to hear that the course doesn’t suit your learning style. Many lessons are designed to be as comprehensive as possible, which can feel overwhelming at first. Please contact us at [email protected], and we’d be happy to get on a call and discuss how you can approach the lessons in a more enjoyable and motivating way!
i find that the female speaker does not finish words and if is hard to duplicate what she is saying.
Like Bein she makes the n so soft if you repeat the way she says it, it will not register as right
When the male speaker says the same work , it is easier to duplicate

Thank you for your honest feedback, Howard. We appreciate you highlighting the differences between speakers and how it affects pronunciation practice. Your comments help us refine our lessons and speech recognition system, and we’re glad you’re continuing to practice with Rocket French!
I have been studying French for the past 2 years. I always had difficulty with speaking the language. Rocket French has helped very much with my confidence in speaking the language. Rocket French has proven to be a fun way to improve my French language skills
