The very special method which is used by Rocket language is so amazing that not only you won't be tired, but also you will be persuaded to learn more and more each day and that's what makes this program unique.

I'm learning French course by using Rocket language and as an international student who is living in France I can tell that I'm using 100% of the material that I've learned through the course in each day of my staying here from doing some errands to book a whole trip and asking for an advice from a local person.

subscribing to this program was one the best decision that I've made so far, Thanks Rocket Language.

Very helpful lessons. Not too long to listen to the audio part. I don't really care for the written part since I'm not going to be writing in French. I just need to learn conversational French. Some things are not relevant like learning "Welcome to the first lesson." I've already forgotten that.

It's really good and you can learn a lot. It is great if you're busy because you can download the lessons to listen to while you drive, cook, clean and more. I've tried a lot of different sites and books and none of them have such amazing lessons and pronunciation help. I highly recommend.

This course really works. I find the French phrases from the lesson automatically drift into my mind while doing a workout at the gym or driving. I took an immersion French class years ago in college, which was great for a few days but then a nightmare, as I could not visualize the words without seeing them and the translations. Rocket French allows the words to sink in, with its combination of auditory first and then great reviews and games. Pimsleur is similar, and I believe a great course too, but it is twice the money. The Rocket speakers are more fun, and they teach more vocabulary—so much that I need to go over each lesson two or three times to get it all. It’s worth it, as after only one week I am dreaming in French. Drawback: I can’t play the lesson on my smartphone without being online, and Rocket gobbled up all my minutes in a couple of days. Does anyone know how to download it so it can play offline?

I gave the price a 3 star because I had to go online to find a coupon code that provided me 60% off the original price. I gave the customer service a 3 star for neutral since I haven't needed to call a C.S.R. yet

I especially like the dialogue format, dismantling its parts, then putting all together. It is helping fix phrases in my mind that I used to have to piece together mechanically. I am hoping that this will lead to more fluid conversational skill. This is going beyond simple listening comprehension.

The grading system is all over the place. They have a colour coded system that is meant to reflect proficiency but it patently doesn't correspond with any of the lessons. I completed all the modules available, everything was correct but the colour coded system gave me 1 green tick and 4 yellow symbols. It makes no sense.

I asked for an explanation for this but the response made little sense too.

I think somewhere in the Rocket system is a great app waiting to break out but it is currently too cumbersome which is a pity.

They ask users to write something awesome, they are assuming people think the app is awesome when it isn't yet.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Mark - Thanks for the feedback. The app has been completely updated as of 2019, so any glitchy behavior is hopefully sorted out!

I completed all French lessons from the most popular online language learning course. When I finished, I couldn't carry on a conversation. I chatted with another student online who had taken the same classes, and he told me not to become discouraged. He went through the lessons three times before he became comfortable. That shouldn't be necessary. I decided to try Rocket French instead. In a few days, I was able to start speaking simple and useful sentences! This may be a matter of learning style; different people learn differently, but there is no question that Rocket French is better for me. The other learning program is total immersion with no explanations in English. Simple things like "de le" is "du" is something I had to figure out, whereas Rocket French explains that and it's so much easier. There is so much conversational practice in French that I don't feel that I'm missing out by reading explanations in English. I leave for Paris in a few weeks, and I already know so much more than I did a week ago! Today I will complete Module 1 and over the weekend I hope to finish Module 2. Making such quick progress has made me obsessed! By the time I go, I expect to be comfortable ordering food in a restaurant, shopping, and meeting new people in French! Of course I can't become proficient in such a short time, but French people I've spoken with are very patient when we try to learn. Merci beaucoup Rocket French!

The app on iPhone doesn’t work property. After I email the customer service for a few days, the problem still has not been solved. The app is not as good as the desktop version., which is a shame. The responses from customer service seem slow. The audio lessons are interesting but the culture and language don’t make me feel interested about learning. There are definitely things that require improvement.
