I have just begun French Level 2 and completed only the first module. The approach to learning appears to be excellent in that it covers speaking, listening, writing and some grammar. I have been in a local immersion program for four years and am at a low intermediate level. I have taken this course to improve my listening and speaking skills and it appears this course will help. Time will tell. I am disappointed with the speech recognition feature of the system. It seems to cut off my speaking before I can complete the phrase no matter how fast I speak, and when I am sure I have pronounced the words correctly, different words are sometimes returned from the recognition software. Nevertheless, practicing the listening and speaking disciplines accomplishes my improvement goals, although the software does not always work the way I would expect. Perhaps my personal computer setup is the problem. I will be contacting Rocket to see if it is on my end. Also, if you are a solid intermediate level student, I would start with the Level 3, the more advanced module. So, overall, I like the program so far and would recommend it for anyone who wants to improve their French with this comprehensive and disciplined approach to learning despite my software recognition difficulties.

Hi Stewart - Thanks for your feedback. Please consult the FAQ/Help section and/or contact our support team about the recording issue. Usually it is something to do with the microphone set up on users' computers. You could also try the Rocket Languages iOS/Android apps, as the voice recognition uses the inbuilt microphone on those devices.
This interactive course has by far helped me enjoy the learning process so much more than I expected. It has a great approach towards the beginners and j'adore apprendre le français.
A focused and effective way of learning French, away from but feeling close to France.
i always wanted to learn and now i'm learning and i love it so much
Rocket French est formidable ! J'aime bien cet course car c'est très facile pour utiliser !
Although I've been with French for several months before, the free lessons of Rocket French are still good reviews. Certainly more useful than Assimil so far. I unfortunately don't have the funds to buy the full course right now, but I certainly would if I could!
After 8 months of Duolingo, I felt that I wasn't advancing much. I started a week ago with Lesson 1 of Rocket French and am quickly increasing my conversation skills and pronunciation. The explanations are excellent and very useful.
I am extremely enjoying the learning French with Rocket French. Yes, I had a bit of background about french vocabulary, but I am gaining more and more confidence in French as the course enables me to record my pronunciation vis a vis authenticated french pronunciation. So, It helps me a lot in speaking. Wish I could able to download grammar part and vocabulary in compact PDF version.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Ravi - You can download the lessons as a PDF by printing the page and selecting "Save as PDF" from the printer options.
I have been so impressed with the learning experience with Rocket French. I've learnt more in three months than I did in six years at school (I got a 'C' at GCSE). The lessons are interactive enough to feel like I'm really gaining practical experience of the language, and the badge and points system keeps me motivated to practise every day.
I'm just starting the third module of level two and I feel like I'm well beyond where I was at school.
I've done hours of lessons so far and repeated some lessons to make sure everything is really sinking in. I recommend this as you'll find that repeating lessons a few times makes new stuff stick in your head!
J'ai vraiment aimé ce programme mais je ne le fais que pour l'école
