Rocket French Reviews

I studied French in high school and ended up marrying a young francophone lady from Quebec, Canada. Early on in our marriage (30+ years ago) I took a correspondence course which helped with my grammar, vocabulary and overall knowledge of the language. Try as I may over all these years, I've never been able to quite attain "the ear" and as a result I've not been able to fully participate in discussions (can't catch enough of the conversation to understand what it is being discussed) with my wife's family.

After seven days using Rocket French, I am very optimistic that I will be able to attain "the ear". Why? Primarily due to the way the modules are structured and the focus on repetition, both in the lessons as well as the tests. I really enjoy how the information is presented as it is practical and the building block approach (each lesson building on previous learnings) works very well.

I've been studying Rocket French for a few days now and... it's great! I ended up buying the full 3 course set. The subject matter is really easy to follow and the 4 forms of testing are really helpful! I'd love to update my review later when I'm farther in the course.

The only con I have is instead of starting with the Alphabet/Pronunciation, the French course starts with a few simple phrases for four lessons. They are very helpful sentences but it threw me off when I first started.

However, it isn't that big of a deal. I'd say overall Rocket French is a great language system and worth the money! Salut!

This is by a mile the best language learning tool I have ever used. The emphasis on pronunciation and getting to learn the language and how to make the sounds from a French native really gives me confidence in my accent.

I have just started using Rocket French again, after using it briefly before travelling overseas last year. Using it in conjunction with in person lessons to boost my learning as I want to challenge myself, and I'm finding it quite useful so far. The fact that I can use it on my computer, or on my phone while in the car on bluetooth is great, and I love that it updates my progress on both.

The program seems to have trouble recognising when I say "Vous" - But speech recognition is a great feature otherwise. There was an error with the 1.2 quiz, not logging my 5/5 result on the computer, but it did work on the iPhone app.

All in all and good product so far. Thank you.

I started learning French more than a year ago. It is quite an interesting language, though somewhat more difficult than some other languages for me. I find Rocket French easy to go with, structured, and with plenty of opportunity to practice. I see that after listening and practicing different sentences or phrases from the audio lessons, they stay with me. I am able to use them without much effort while practicing French in other contexts. The hosts are nice too, especially Paul and Marie-Claire.
One observation: when I practice the speaking, a few times I need to repeat the given word/phrase and it shows "Sorry, I didn't catch that. Please try again". Sometimes, of course, it's because my pronunciation is not be correct, but many times I give the same pronunciation consecutively- the first time is not right, the second one it is.

rocket languages has been very helpful and has taught me french a lot quicker i was than excepting. i have enjoyed the pronunciation which most websites do not have. i would recommend it to older people because it can be a bit complicated than you would think.

I have been using the Rocket French course for one month, and every day I am more impressed with the site. After first being intimidated, now I look forward to discovering new features every day. It has long been my goal to return to learning French, so thank you Rocket French for making it possible.

I would highly recommend this software for people who want to learn french without having to go to classes and pay for a tutor! I have learned a lot and I have astonished my mum with my progress! This is one of the best sites I have seen and I would definitely buy it again. Merci Rocket French!

I am fairly new to learning French having tried a couple of other on-line French courses which mainly focused on the written aspect with some audio. Rocket French certainly got me moving along with the correct pronunciation and the speaking. The lessons were comprehensive in their explanation and I felt as though I learned something new with every lesson. The trail experience has been very positive. As we are about to start traveling (sadly not France this time) I will have to delay purchasing as this stage.

Rocket Languages is a fantastic way to learn a new language. This program is truly appealing.... The Rocket review makes this application a fun and complete learning experience. Although the price made me think twice, Rocket Languages is worthy. It is really worth it. I recommended to those who are unsure... Trust me, this is a great investment.
