Rocket French Reviews

I was happy with Rocket French in the beginning but as I am now in lesson 6 I find it extremely frustrating. I cannot remember 2-3 phrases and then say them quickly enough. I am constantly being cut off in mid sentence, and no I haven't paused, and the voice recognition is not very good.

Bon, J'aime les langues et Rocket French m'a donné une bonne chance pour pratiquer la langue français. J'ai trouvé une bonne oppurtunite pour l'ecriture, la partie oral et l'écoute. Bien sûr j'ai besoin de pratiquer la conversation, je crois que la conversation est le chose plus importante, j'espère que Rocket French a un moyen pour fait la conversation entre éleves

The course is effective and I am making progress, but the voice recognition software is very glitchy and inconsistent.

There are lots of opportunities to review and practice. It would be improved by cutting all the silly English comments. It takes up time and is not necessary to learn -irritating.

Product has been pretty good up to now. But I am working on lessons regarding numbers. Rather than focusing on teaching numbers (many of which are new words), numerous other concepts, vocabulary and long sentences are thrown in that distract from the main lesson. If you're going to focus on "there is" (il y a) then make it a separate lesson, and don't throw a bunch of new vocabulary in at the same time. And don't have three different speakers on the same lesson. All very confusing and frustrating.

I've been delighted with the entire program so far. Particularly good were the i-pod downloads with Paul and Marie Claire. I'm learning French slowly, but I'm learning. I have Rosetta Stone and Pimsler.... they don't match up to Rocket Languages .

Rocket French is an excellent product. My greatest struggle (to date) is understanding spoken French. Rocket French does a much better job with this than other platforms. I also really like the lifetime ownership.

Something to improve is the voice recognition. It doesn't work all that well, and is often frustrating. Other than that, great product.

Too many keystrokes, should be simplified and incorporated into the keyboard, not the mouse.
Instructor voice and script too "hokey".
Prompts "P-F, S-I" should be much larger and should appear below the microphone icon. Also they should have been mentioned in the "how to use" video.

I tired the free trial for Rocket Languages as I was a bit skeptical. I really enjoyed the free trial. Its a great way to immerse yourself into the French language. I went ahead and bought all three levels! So far I am still in the early stages of level one but everything is going smoothly. I can't wait to use what I have learnt when I go to France to visit my boyfriend.

Well thought out program. The chunking technique is brilliant and the downloadable .mp3 files are perfect for my commute in the car. I expect the program will be very effective in my learning French!
