I like everything so far on the trial membership, except for the "rating" task that forces you to rate each word of the flashcards. It's tedious and who knows how to categorize each word anyways? The modules are fun!
A generally excellent course - I love the structure of core lessons supported by reinforcement activities, and the fact that you can break up your learning into conversation-based and grammar-based modules. There is a good balance between formal grammar (in the Language and Culture lessons) and the core conversational modules. I like the way sentences are broken down by the speakers and there is a chance to repeat the whole conversation yourself.
The only problem has been the voice recording, which is sometimes faulty - it seems to not pick up what you say, even using the microphone, or to judge you poorly even on simple words such as "tout". I have studied French before so I know with words like that that I'm pronouncing them correctly, but the system rates me down. This problem seems quite random so I can only think it's a software problem. If it had not been for this, I would have rated Rocket French 5 stars all round. It is still a very good course though.

Thanks so much for your review. Regarding Rocket Record (our voice recognition software), we are currently working on improving this feature so that, in the future, you will find it to be more accurate. All the best with your language learning!
I love this program and I have tried many. It’s one of the few that I have actually stuck with. The repetition of hearing, voice recording and writing really help. I also like that I can easily see where I am in the course and my progress.
Rocket French is so helpful. It is a fun easy way to learn French. I always want to do it! It is the best way to learn French I have ever seen. It may be expensive but it is worth it!
Still on the first module, but enjoying the program. The only thing that bothers me is that there is too much explanation and repetition even in English. I would not mind repeating dozens of times the language I am learning, but not English (unless I was taking an English course).

Glad to hear you're enjoying Rocket French, Bruno. We understand your concerns regarding the English present in the course. However, the idea behind this is to provide learners with the support they need to truly grasp the structure of the language. You might also find the English limiting if your French is slightly more advanced than the current lesson you are on; if that is the case, feel free to reach out to our support team, and we would be happy to offer you advice on the best place to start!
The best feature of Rocket French is that I can use the program any time of the day, which is handy because I work a full time job and cannot be flexible with my time. It has so far proven useful for helping me develop my speaking and comprehension skills. I would recommend this programme to a friend.
Living next to Quebec, it really is necessary to speak French, especially if you want a government job. I love this course and have already recommended it to family and friends (in Texas and Seattle). I feel much more confident speaking French now because of the lessons. I have been committing to doing just 15 minutes a day in the morning before I go to work. It's makes a big difference! I'm thinking of buying the course for my son for Christmas.
There's a myriad of good resources for language learning, and the audio helps a lot with pronunciation. Rocket Languages has great tools for language learning, without a doubt. The cultural immersion components are a fun way to learn about culture as well, because that is vital to learning a language as well.
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!
Nothing to share at this point. Need to attend more classes to form an opinion
