Rocket French Reviews

I'm having a blast with this program. I love the variety of ways that they reinforce the lesson through reading, writing, listening and speaking exercises, and I'm so glad that they added the hot keys that make it go so much faster. I've worked a few different programs for French, and this is by far my favorite!

Just started the French course as an absolute beginner, and I like it so far. It steps me through and builds upon basics with appropriate and much needed reviews. The voice recognition can be flaky for certain words, possibly due to my headsets (I've tried two), but is generally very good.

My product review should be understood in the context of a man in his 70s struggling to learn a new language. Before purchasing the premium version of Rocket French, I had used Duo, Babbel, and taken an introductory course at a local community college. Duo is easy enough, not demanding. It is a source of vocabulary, but one can put in many hours without confidence of using the words in speech. Babbel promised more interaction, but the speech sensitivity is seriously flawed. Otherwise the program is brisk and challenging. My college class showed that one's hearing in late retirement is unreliable, so keeping up with students less than ⅓ of my age was troubling.
Rocket French requires lots of oral practice, which the others lack. The tablet version of the program (I use a new iPad Pro with gobs of memory) has a problem similar to Babbel's, where the end of sentences are ignored. I can test this by just repeating the phrases that are missed and it translates those just fine. On my desktop iMac, the program works just fine.
Rocket French is more expensive than the other drills, and quite possibly less costly to create. I find that the method is engaging and leans more directly on the need to listen and speak. It has become my primary learning tool.

According to me it is extremely good because someone is able to learn the pronunciation of the words in French and at the same time learning to to write in friend.. It is a good learning tool really.... Absolutely awesome

I've only been using Rocket French for 6 days, several hours per day, but I really like the balance of the approach so far. They don't give you too much to absorb at any one time, and they do a good job of going over it from different angles to aid your comprehension and retention. It's a casual, but effective approach. I've had no issues using Firefox, although the voice recognition isn't there, but I have no problems evaluating my own pronunciation by comparing it to the audio. I did have problems with Edge. Haven't used it with Safari yet.

I have only had it one day and love it already. I'm looking forward to my journey.

Rocket French is my 7th language purchased. I have been practicing five of them daily since June, which are Italian, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Hindi. I studied French in high school and in college, but that was quite a while ago. I considered taking an in-person class, and although I accepted I would have to start over again, ultimately decided it made more sense to buy Rocket French, because that would allow me to re-learn at my own pace, since I wasn't an absolute beginner. The courses are a great deal, and something I really look forward to at the end of the day. Having the Current Streak measurement is the single most important feature. The site is very interactive, and you can mix up what you do according to where your energy is that day. Tracking your progress is very easy. Finally, I like how the voice actors, or people who create each language program, seem to make the arrangement of the stories and lessons a bit different from the other languages. It makes the experience seem more real, even though it is all online. I am so grateful that Rocket Language exists!!!

Easy start with the new technology, along with so much English no need to ask anything, but time consuming. Happy with the program so far, thank you.

I like the teaching method it makes it stick longer but I wish it was more considerable to people who are financially incapable because most lectures require you to buy.

Rocket French is exactly what I need to improve my confidence in speaking french; I just wish I had discovered it earlier! I am an intermediate learner with very limited access to native french speakers. I was becoming frustrated with my french learning as even though I had learnt a lot from other sources and can understand spoken french reasonably well, my spoken french is poor in comparison. I bought level 3 Rocket French and the Travelogue a month ago and have already noticed an improvement, as has my Skype french teacher! I love the format of the exercises: repetition and more repetition is definitely what I need as a mature student! Highly recommended.
