Rocket Languages Reviews

I moved to France without speaking a word of French and bought this program after reading some good reviews of it online. I've bought some other online resources but Rocket French is the only one I've ended up coming back to repeatedly for self-study. The dialogues are well done: I like the brief explanations of the vocab and the repetition is helpful without being tedious. I've actually been able to use the structures in real conversation here in France. The program has been improved a lot even since I bought it, and now you can practice what you learn in every possible format--- writing, reading, speaking, listening --- and the ability to download the audio is great if you want to listen to it in your car. Sometimes I listen to a dialogue several times before looking at the transcript and this helps me figure out how well my listening comprehension is coming along. I'm really happy with this program and recommend it to anyone looking for an entertaining way to learn French.

The audio lessons are presented very well. They are by far the best part of the program. The written tests and multiple choice tests work fine. The interactive voice tests are sometimes glitchy. As others have said, the website and iOS app can sometimes have issues. The iOS app is not as quite as fully functional as the website, but still pretty good. Overall, I'm happy with the program. I suspect it will continue to get better with time. I'm not disappointed with my purchase.

I finally started using Rocket French properly and really like it. Each level is well presented and the various ways to practice and review the conversations are superb. Also all the bonus supplements such as the alphabet, numbers, telling the time are wonderful. I totally recommend Rocket Languages.

I never thought I could learn French in a very short while with my tight schedules(School and Work),thanks to Rocket Languages for their support,through mails....wonderful apps that allows you to listen and repeat,listen and spell,listen and respond.....It has all made it a wonderful experience to learn easily and have fun at the same time.Now I can go to French speaking countries and say Salut!

I have tried a number of programs, books, cd's etc...I always come back to Rocket Languages. Very satisfying to know you can learn another language so quick and efficiently. I love these programs and always recommend Rocket Languages when I hear of someone wanting to learn an new language.

I am only on day 9 of RF, but my experience thus far has been excellent. I have been trying to teach myself French with various books and programs over the past few years, and I haven't always been terribly disciplined up until about a year ago. Like many, speaking is my greatest hurdle. I am enjoying the record and playback features, and comparing my voice with the pre-recorded sentences until I get it right. Explanations are clear and helpful. Customer support is also excellent - questions are answered quickly. Thanks, Rocket French!

Rocket French is the best of the many French language teaching programs I have had experience with. I had a minimum amount of French training in high school and college just to meet the language requirement for my chosen field. Language learning at the time consisted of textbook, classroom and language laboratory exercises. For me this was torture as it took away from the time I could devote to the science and mathematics I needed to concentrate on to pursue a career in medicine. I am now retired but I have been involved with teaching students in other fields of education. Three years ago I decided to learn French. As I see it, the availability of computerized language programs of different varieties with voice recognition software has been a tremendous advance in language learning. I began with Rosetta Stone and enjoyed the experience and found it to be very helpful and I am happy that I had that experience. I also spent three weeks in France at an immersion school. I subscribe to Yabla which for a conscientious person can simulate an immersion experience in France. I enrolled in News in Slow French and look forward to their weekly output. Of course I also bought a book on French grammar and studied that.

What I love about Rocket Languages is the mobile app. I listen to the lessons while I'm driving somewhere, and in the car I can focus on the lesson and vocalize what I hear. It's the repetition which is making the learning process go quicker.

The format the lessons follow are forming an nice foundation for language learning and confidence building.

Besides the nice and easy way to study, the system is (tech part) super:
You may speak and the software performs a complete analysis (not just comparing with a previous recorded sound) but actually shows the interpreted sound so User could see the word(s) parts that he is having more trouble with correctly pronunciation .

The Rocket French is a great Product. I studied French for two years but after I graduated I didn't have the opportunity to practice French. But Rocket French is everywhere as long as you have Wi-Fi. I tried it on my laptop, my tablet and my phone; works great every time. The interface is easy to use and the lessons are easy to follow. Sample conversations are not the 'usual' boring ones. I enjoy the lessons! Also the way lessons are structured helps me remember the previous vocabulary and grammar. I would recommend Rocket French for busy people who doesn't have the time to attend regular classes. Its much cheaper and much more available.
