Rocket French Reviews

I have been working with this language course for only four weeks - my assessment is therefore very preliminary.
My impressions thus far: the course could be more interactive (more dialogs with voice recordings); I'm missing a periodic vocabulary refresher. A dynamically updated glossary of important phrases should be included. Dialogs with more than two speakers are desirable; for example, short street interviews with real people would make the course fun.

If your goal is to speak French then this is in my opinion the best product there is. I love the fact that you can purchase it and have lifetime access.
I have tried and I give my reviews for each of the products that I spent a great deal of time with: Duolingo - I completed the earlier tree then got fed up with it in the end(1 star-waste of time), Babbel (I completed Babbel French version a few years ago (3 stars-fun and entertaining but not half as good for learning), pimsleur's french 2.5 star(boring and not great), Lingvist ( 0 stars - in other words a complete waste of time), Ah, yes, Conju was very useful(4/5), in getting on top of verb conjugations but I would say not so important, as it seems as if it didn't translate that well into speaking. Maybe useful for reading/comprehension and writing. Quizik is one of the programmes that promises a great deal but doesn't really seem to deliver since when you have achieved in one section it goes on to another, never to repeat the previous sections. The lack of reinforcement meant that the knowledge was not retained very well. (I got to C1 level in Quizik) For this reason I would give it 2.5/5

I am just sorry that I wasted so much time with the other programmes/products.

The French lessons are comprehensive and in-depth. It's a great tool especially when mixed with other tools out there from listening to podcasts and music, watching movies and playing on other apps. I find this program gives me an in-depth insight into French while other apps (that I have tried) expose me to it at a surface level. All in all, it is great for different types of learners as it has audios, visual scripts and spelling/writing exercises.
The voice recognition software is very buggy and inconsistent. Otherwise, I am very happy with it.

i love the interactiveness of the app its being helping with my french

From a complete beginner, this course is fantastic. It lets me work through at my pace & test my knowledge in a range of ways.

Great program that covers pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. Plus lots of fun!

If you think that there aren't any good resources to learn french online (like I did), then you just didn't encounter Rocket French before.

It's so annoying. The microphone won't work. It keeps on saying "no speech detected," even when I am yelling it out in a quiet environment.

I've tried numerous language apps and a few French books, but I had a hard time grasping the concepts and I would lose motivation quickly. I came across Rocket French and it's my favorite language learning app by far! I really enjoy the short but informative lessons plus the practice vocab along with the voice recording to practice speaking. I purchased it using the 60% off black friday code, but I would gladly pay full price for this. Worth every penny!

Rocket Languages ROCKS. I came back to it and it is awesome.
