It still requires a lot of study to learn French (not surprisingly). However, after 6 months of using this course, my fluency in French is much better than it was after 6 years of study at school, many decades ago.

It is so great to hear that your French is improving with the course. All the best for your French journey!
You aren't hearing me on about 30% of the words. Maybe it would be better with a headset - I am just using a laptop with the built in mic. But I've tried many times with my mouth in many different positions and different proximities to the mic - it should be able to hear me just fine.

Hi Ryan, we are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the voice recognition. We have sent you an email to get more information about this.
This is a great course to teach a majority of whatever language you want. Sure if you want to learn a language you will need to use more than this but this covers most for a good price. Its interactive audio lessons can be a bit annoying sometimes how it doesn't respond to you despite answering other questions perfectly but hey no one is perfect and I think this would be a wonderful app for you.

We are glad to hear that you are enjoying learning with us. We have sent you some tips via email regarding the voice issues you are having. All the best with the course!
A good learning tool.
I'm not happy with the audio it's not working 100%. On average each lesson has 5% faulty audio.
I have complained but the advice is not working, because the fault is in the app it's selves.
The only thing I can do is ignore the gaps and hope.....

I used to be very impressed by rocketfrench, but there are a lot of things that I don't agree with anymore after almost two years of using it.
The good:
1. Listening to native speakers, repeating it, comparing it, having the scripted conversations - all that is good for pronunciation and I enjoy that.
2. there is a structure
The bad:
1. Updates that feel like beta-versions -> I did not pay to be a beta tester
2. The translation approach is outdated and will not lead to fluency.
3. The translation approach often does not make sense in the grammar chapters.
hints as to which version of multiple options to use are literal translations instead of contextual hints, that would lead to better understanding of the concepts underneath.
4. As in many other courses it is mostly very formal written french that you learn, sometimes some "real spoken french" is mixed in and that mix does not make much sense as it mixes different "registers" like formal, neutral, familiar french.
Most upsetting are the updates, that change the programm and not always for the better.
If it were always changes for the better, improving things and giving more options, I would be fine with that.
But sometimes things are being taken away and taking things away from customers is not a good idea.
That is not a problem for new customers, cause they are not missing anything.
But it is a problem for me as a user of almost two years and I don't have what I bought anymore.

Good stuff, really fun and interactive. A tri-lingual friend ( an ESL professor) recommended it to me - happy I bought in ! i
