I found the 'rocket record' function very useful once I had worked out how to keep the recording function in play (changed my search engine to google chrome from firefox as the flashplayer kept crashing. I love the fact that the lessons go straight into practising sentences and phrases in French, now I just have to be disciplined enough to do a little everyday.
It is interactive how the lessons go. Unfortunately, it is at least to say "expensive".
Response from Rocket Languages
Thanks so much for your review, Bruno. While our courses might seem expensive, we do give learners lifetime access, which means that you can take all the time you need to finish the course - even if you take a 2 year break, your account remains active, and you will be able to log in again whenever you are ready. We also feel that our courses are thorough, and really teach you the language, rather than just some random phrases that aren't useful in real life situations. Our grammar lessons help our learners understand the language they are learning, and we include lots of reinforcement to help it all sink in. Finally, for those who find a one-off payment a little daunting, we offer a 6-month payment plan. I hope that helps! All the best with your language learning.
Nothing to share at this point. Need to attend more classes to form an opinion

No problem, Avijit! After you've tried out a few more lessons, feel free to get in touch and share your thoughts!
Seems to be quite quick. I am enjoying it so far. Unfortunately I do not like being bombarded with asking for reviews of the course or offers. If there is anything that would prevent me from buying again it would be this. I ask respectfully please stop.
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 .
This course is interesting. It has several ways to reinforce what is being taught.

Thank you for your review, Oluseyi. We are thrilled to hear that you find our Rocket French course interesting and enjoy the reinforcement activities provided. Keep up the great work!
It's a good program and easy to follow so far. The free trial is a great way to introduce what the program is about and allows us to have a taste of what the structure is. I have been learning grammar from Duolingo and this program helps me with conversation and pronunciation. After many hours on Duolingo, I found this program reinforces what I already learnt and I hope it will help me speak French in the near future.
Overall robust content and well thought learning structure.
The voice recognition capability is spotty (sometimes creates a lot of frustration...), e.g. on very short words, number related words.
It will also be helpful if the "vocabulary" related features (marking it in the class; review it together in the "tools" section) are available in mobile version.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. We're glad you found the content robust and the structure well designed; that means a lot to us. We understand how frustrating inconsistent voice recognition can be, especially with short or number-related words, and we’re continually working to improve that experience. Your suggestion about enhancing vocabulary features on the mobile version is a great one and has been noted. Thanks again for helping us improve!
So far so good. I like the diversity of approaches - grammar, vocabulary, cards, writing what you hear, speaking... The voice recognition is an important part of the course and is great when it works. Unfortunately, a significant portion of the time it does not - on random occasions it can not detect any sound. And I am not sure what to say about the customer service, I don't know how to access that feature.

We're really sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the voice recognition, Alexander. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected], and we'd be more than happy to set you up on a call with our knowledgeable IT team to see what we can do to help!
I like that I can do it in my own time rather than being locked into lessons at a set time. It is also good that you can keep coming back to review the lessons even if you have done them a while ago. The layout has improved and I now find it much easier to navigate around the site
