I am having trouble getting the accent right. This is impeding my progress. I need to re-watch, read and listen many times and still my accent is terrible. This is a lot more work than I expected, but I will plug onward.

I really like the interactive dialog with the conversation and chance to practice and record my responses and am pleased about what I've learned thus far. However, I really wish they would have more of this in each module vs. the 'self study'/written portions in each module. I learn best when I hear conversation/dialog vs. the dictation/response of the lessons. For example in module 1 there are 5 lessons of conversation but 10 lessons of pure dictation/response. This doesn't suit my learning style well.

Naturally being moving to upper levels by studying hard. Something interesting is a sound that serves me how to pronounce it. Of course its best part is to record my voice just before learn it thoroughly. Thank you very much for all the preparations you have designed for us.

I can't. you won't let the honest responses be submitted. there is nothing awesome about your program. Neither, do you respond in a timely manner to concerns. So if you want honest then let them be submitted

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Patrick - It looks like your review has been submitted correctly?

I am taking the French course but I find the man talks way too much in English with annoying 'jokes'. Sorry but listening to him makes it difficult for me to continue and I loose interest. Over half the lessons are in translated English or him talking.The price for the course is good and I haven't had to use customer service to comment.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Natalie - The beginner (Level 1) course does have a reasonable amount of English as things need to be explained! In the higher levels there is less English. If you wish to swap levels then please let us know!

it doesn't pick up what you say and it sometimes just says the wrong thing even though its nearly indistinguishable from the prompt

Nothing "awesome" to say. I thought you wanted my honest, candid feedback. Still waiting for help on the problem of inserting special characters in the writing practice section of lessons. Rocket told me I must wait two to four days.

I get the impression Rocket also doesn't teach grammar either—at least not overtly. Disappointing.

What's your return policy?

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Bruce - The special character issue on Rocket French "Write it!" exercises has been resolved by adding in special keys for the French characters. Grammar is taught extensively in the Language and Culture lessons, did you see those? And, finally, if you decide that it's not for you then we have a 60 day full money back guarantee. Just contact customer support.

Disappointed with not being able to download on android, windows, or apple platforms. This defeats the purpose of my purchase - wanted to listen during work drive. Also app not allowing the voice option. Why browser version only?

Not able to take quiz on android app.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Mark - The Android and iOS apps have been fully updated, and you can now play the Interactive Audio courses in the background.

So far, I am finding it rather boring and tedious. Certainly don't look forward to undertaking a lesson. Capability to record and replay ones responses useful.

Response from Rocket Languages

We're sorry to hear that the course doesn’t suit your learning style. Many lessons are designed to be as comprehensive as possible, which can feel overwhelming at first. Please contact us at [email protected], and we’d be happy to get on a call and discuss how you can approach the lessons in a more enjoyable and motivating way!
