Rocket French Reviews

Fun to use. I love how they use basic conversation and repeat until it becomes more fluent. The lessons and information are engaging. I had a little difficulty navigating the app and website login. It was a little confusing at first because they each present the information differently. Customer service, Marie has been wonderful helping.

I used Pimsleur courses before. This is equally as good, but I am using exclusively in a car. The Pimsleur is better in a car as the lessons automatically come on to the next lesson and the program keeps track of where you are and Apple CarPlay controls work better than Rockets. The arocketvwoukd be better if it were seamless to a CarPlay experience. Also the review words should keep repeating in several lessons to make it easier to remember, rather than only one review time in the following lesson. Multiple repeats help sear it in my brain. For these reasons, Pimsleur works better for me.

Moderators Note: Thanks for the feedback, Ivan. You can use Rocket courses in a similar way by using the iOS app, downloading the Interactive Audio lessons to your app for offline usage, and then playing those sequentially. I hope that helps. All the best from the Rocket Languages team.

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.

Hello everybody,

Being an enthusiastic of languages, I have just started learning French, taking profit of my holidays on August. I already learned other languages online (like Chinese) but my first impression of this Rocket French site is awesome. The more of it, the step-by-step guide for each lesson and the chance to study at whatever time I choose. That give me some freedom and let me put efforts when I really have time. I am considering buy the premium subscription but firstly I would like to move on my first lessons to check that everything can fit with my time schedule when I go back to work.

I'm almost finished with Module two in french and so far I really like it. It's a good mix of audio lessons where you get a feel for how to use the language and the language lessons which teacher more grammar etc. I already feel more confident in my french and I am recognising more and more words out on the street and in conversations around me.

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.

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).

I have been using the trial version for less than 2 weeks, and have already Astounded people with my little French. For example today I ran into a French mother and daughter. With the little French spoke they thought I was french! They couldn't believe my accent and were impressed. The interactive dialogue is great and the words were pronounced so clear for me. The design of this software and learning structure is fantastic! It allows me to repeat and answer questions to the pint that it sounds native! I started a French course in parallel and its triple the cost and doesn't compare. The Cd I got with the book is just crappy compared! I have studied a different language before - before the Internet and I wish someone could of given me all the tips I am reading that rocket French provides for free!. Rocket French has compiled a lot of information, advice and recommendations which is probably taken for granted. It's truly a wonderful experience learning online with a support forum for the language and IT. This online trial kit exceeds my expectations! Well done to you all Who Made this product a reality!

The audio lessons are presented very well. They are by far the best part of the program. The written tests and multiple choice tests work fine. The interactive voice tests are sometimes glitchy. As others have said, the website and iOS app can sometimes have issues. The iOS app is not as quite as fully functional as the website, but still pretty good. Overall, I'm happy with the program. I suspect it will continue to get better with time. I'm not disappointed with my purchase.

Works okay, very helpful context, but the part where you speak the words and they judge your pronunciation is super super broken for me, rendering the whole app half-useless. It either can not hear what I'm saying at all, or is way way off base about what I said. I've tried switching devices, switching to an external mic, etc etc but the problem seems to be ROCKETBOOK. So far Duolingo has proven to be better, and much more affordable. I hope they fix the voice part...
