Rocket French Reviews

Rocket Languages teach you all the essentials to begin engaging in conversation right away. They emphasize that you do not need to know 100% of the words in order to understand and hold a conversation. The methods used help you to mimic a native speaker and give you the confidence to start speaking in a foreign language organically unlike other language learning programs that teach you somewhat useless phrases.

I've taken several French online learning courses both free and for fee. This one definitely is the best for my learning style. It attends to all aspects of learning a new language...reading, writing, listening, and speaking. None of the other courses come close to teaching all of these aspects nearly as well. I recommend this course without reservation. Even if you buy it at full price, it's a great deal. I Love Rocket French!

I had done basic French in High School and University. The conversational approach to practice in my home at my pace is very good for building my phrasing and vocabulary. It may seem silly, but I now know how to ask someone to speak more slowly. An hour a day is simply time for myself and a lesson is complete. I think if you have never studied French a lesson being done more than once may be needed. And that is easy to do with this program.

Pleasantly surprised with Rocket French! I've been doing a lesson a day for just over a week and am very pleased with the content and the focus on listening and speaking rather than written French. The humour is great, I find the English guy very funny. Am hoping the rest of the course is as good as what I've seen so far.

Having taken two years of French in high school, (and not really learning much), and then for the first two years in college, and forgetting most of what I learned, I've always wished to really learn it and and retain it. I had/have Rosetta Stone, and it wasn't bad, but I didn't like how the lessons are laid out and it just wasn't cutting it for me. I've only been using this for a short time, but I like how it's content is laid out much better.

I recently started with Rocket French and I'm quite happy. In just a few days my speaking and understanding has improved a lot. My native language is Spanish and that might make it easier for me to understand a lot of things, however the pronunciation of the language has been always something that has made me back up from seriously trying to learn. Now I feel much more confident about it. I'm really pleased with my purchase!

Rocket French method is easy and simple but as Italian I can better learn by focusing on the French words that most of the times are similar to Italian ones. Anyhow this rocket French explains and teaches me in English language and in this way I can even learn more English. Therefore I suggest this Rocket Version to the Italians in order that they can learn English and French as well.

The lessons help you learn french systematically and its great to go back to previous lessons and review what you've learned through flashcards and assessments (quiz, know it etc.).. It is my first attempt at learning french and so far it is engaging and motivates me to move through the lessons without giving up. I think this is key when learning a new language which can be highly frustrating. The only thing I could criticize is the voice recognition needs to be improved as it is 80% functional. All in all, great learning experience!

Thank you rocket French! My husband Charles bought me my rocket French course and it has been a great learning experience. We travelled through New Brunswick, Quebec City and Montreal. I was proud to be able to read signs, directions, and engage in simple conversations.

Besides my native Czech I speak and write English and Russian fluently, both of which I learned the traditional way. Now I am at the end of Level 1 of Rocket French. The Rocket approach is very effective, I am learning about 4 times faster than with the traditional school method.
It is still work, it does require discipline but there are little pleasures about it as well. The lesson speakers Claire and Paul are very charming, in particular, Claire's speech is just lovely.
The customer support is fast and effective even so that it is limited to the application programming issues. They will not respond to anything related to the language itself or any issue beyond that what is outside the screen.
The Rocket method "weaves" the language, it gives a hint of word meanings, then hint of grammar then both the meanings and the grammar reappear later with a slight twist building up the full grasp. Similarly so with the common phrases.
Another strength is the voice recognition, it works very well (nearly). The computer has no mercy, so when you say it right, you know your pronunciation is right, no less. But the program does have limitations, if I try to work on a lesson around 8pm there is not enough bandwith for the voice recognition. All of sudden 30% of sentences are rejected, not recognized etc. while off hours I get rarely anything wrong.

C'est tout
