Rocket French Reviews

I liked as much as I could cover in the free preview. It takes a lot of dedication to learn a language but rocket has good tools to help those who are interested. Having a monthly payment is a good option to have. If I want to continue to learn French, I would certainly think of coming back here as I liked the structure of the course very much.

This is a great course to teach a majority of whatever language you want. Sure if you want to learn a language you will need to use more than this but this covers most for a good price. Its interactive audio lessons can be a bit annoying sometimes how it doesn't respond to you despite answering other questions perfectly but hey no one is perfect and I think this would be a wonderful app for you.

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!

What I like about this course is the great emphasis given to pronunciation, since it is so difficult to speak french. But Paul greatly annoys me in those introduction audios to each lesson, because he talks too much...!! He's such a time consumer... I tend to keep jumping many "ten seconds" to dig into the proper french..

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.

The course is really cool to do. I love the tool that make a simulation of conversation. This type of tool really help to improve the capacity of memorization of the language. It's really cool. And the system is very powerfull with a lot of tips to learning better!

The software is pretty good so far. Eventually, more interactive speaking via unexpected questions or commentary to respond to as well as slang would be useful. Entire, paragraphs of speech (some of which I assume will come in more advanced lessons) to have to parse and then respond to in a novel way it seems would be effective.
Also, since language seems to be acquired more effectively through speaking, a way of separating pure speaking instances from reading instances of the same words and phrases, would be useful. Developing learning which does not rely on picturing words in the mind first when they are spoken to you, but a purely separate verbal memory would seem to be useful.
The drilling of the material in various forms is effective. The repetition that comes from it is needed; I know by other experience.
Again so far so good!

I'm not quite a complete beginner and I've only been using the course (French) for a few weeks but find it very comprehensive in terms of topics covered and the grammar explanations seem great. Travelogue is too advanced for me atm.

There is a bit too much English in the full lessons, I know it's for beginners but the bad jokes and bits off topic are a bit annoying. There seem a few things missing from the app (Android) like the end of section tests and the survival kit audios in the playlist. Maybe I've missed it somewhere but a search function would be good to find subject/grammar topics, I know you can see headlines in the contents. It would be nice to be able to highlight somewhere which topics I want to go over again, e.g. for some of the easier sections I've not bothered to go through all the Reinforcement Activities to make them green as I don't feel I need to, but for some topics I want to go over them again, and a way to highlight which ones "I've done" would be useful.

I think it is quite expensive (I've bought all levels) but I understand a lot of work has gone into them, but am hoping it will be worth it as it's probably too early for me to say, but there is the money back guarantee which is reassuring. I've not had to deal with the Customer Service so can't really comment on that.

I have just started using Rocket French again, after using it briefly before travelling overseas last year. Using it in conjunction with in person lessons to boost my learning as I want to challenge myself, and I'm finding it quite useful so far. The fact that I can use it on my computer, or on my phone while in the car on bluetooth is great, and I love that it updates my progress on both.

The program seems to have trouble recognising when I say "Vous" - But speech recognition is a great feature otherwise. There was an error with the 1.2 quiz, not logging my 5/5 result on the computer, but it did work on the iPhone app.

All in all and good product so far. Thank you.

I'm enjoying this course so far. It turns out that I am rediscovering my schoolboy French very easily. New words take so much longer but I'll keep at it.
One thing to improve if possible. The special character screen keyboard does not have nearly enough French characters in it. Please uprate (or show me what I'm missing).
Thanks.
