Rocket French Reviews

Excellent source for learning French. Recommend for all people who want to start

I love Rocket Languages. I did Italian first (well, I'm still doing it). I found Italian lessons easier to learn. I guess French is more complicated. Sometimes I do get frustrated because I know I'm pronouncing the word/phrase correctly and the recording does not accept it. But besides that, I am very pleased with this system.

I've only done a few lessons in French, and I'm already amazed at how much I’ve learned. This app is challenging, but fun.

I feel that this course is great and it really helps me understand how to learn french in a way that I can process the information. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that is starting out a language and are struggling this is great for people who want to learn.

an excellent way to learn a language and enjoy it at the same time!

Very satisfied with your course! This course is very easy to follow and the format is fantastic.

I bought Rocket French, Spanish, and Portuguese, and am thrilled with it. I rarely write review, but my husband and I were just enjoying it (in preparation for a sabbatical year in Spain and France) and we are grateful we have this (as a lifetime resource no less).

Besides my native Czech I speak and write English and Russian fluently, both of which I learned the traditional way. Now I am at the end of Level 1 of Rocket French. The Rocket approach is very effective, I am learning about 4 times faster than with the traditional school method.
It is still work, it does require discipline but there are little pleasures about it as well. The lesson speakers Claire and Paul are very charming, in particular, Claire's speech is just lovely.
The customer support is fast and effective even so that it is limited to the application programming issues. They will not respond to anything related to the language itself or any issue beyond that what is outside the screen.
The Rocket method "weaves" the language, it gives a hint of word meanings, then hint of grammar then both the meanings and the grammar reappear later with a slight twist building up the full grasp. Similarly so with the common phrases.
Another strength is the voice recognition, it works very well (nearly). The computer has no mercy, so when you say it right, you know your pronunciation is right, no less. But the program does have limitations, if I try to work on a lesson around 8pm there is not enough bandwith for the voice recognition. All of sudden 30% of sentences are rejected, not recognized etc. while off hours I get rarely anything wrong.

C'est tout

A great learning experience, I love that Rocket caters to many different types of learners and helps to reinforce language in creative ways.

Love it. I've been working with Rocket French for nearly five years. Many would be proficient with French by now, but language study for me is difficult. Along the way, I travelled to France two times and managed adequately; I could generally make my wishes known in French. One benefit of studying French has been to learn more about my native language, English. It's amazing what I've learned about English, especially regarding vocabulary, and sometimes even grammar.

Although I'm very satisfied with RF, I scored "buying again" as a one-star because learning one language is all I can manage.
