Rocket Languages Reviews

Thank you for offering a Free Trial for Rocket French. I tried 2 other programs and was not happy with either. The trial you offered was in-depth and long enough to get a true feel for how much I can learn. It convinced me to purchase the first set...then when your Black Friday special of 60% off became available, I am purchasing your whole 3-package set - thank you! The format RocketFrench offers is excellent, with Audio listening/speaking/playback, repetition, writing, flashcards, and review - very in-depth! It is also great to have two different accents (Claire & Paul), and the ability to change from easy - medium - difficult settings. Also, with the purchase of the whole set, I am thrilled I will have 24//7 access forever, and the ability to go back and review past lessons at any time. I highly recommend this language format - THANK YOU ROCKET LANGUAGES!

I did the Level 1 of Rocket French, and I really liked it! Now, I am able to speak and understand, for sure I am not fluent yet, but it is already really good! I totally recommend it! I have just bought the Level 2 and also the 3. I hope I will like them as well :)

I like everything so far on the trial membership, except for the "rating" task that forces you to rate each word of the flashcards. It's tedious and who knows how to categorize each word anyways? The modules are fun!

Really GREAT product!

I am using Rocket French on an Apple Macbook Pro with the Google Chrome Browser.

I am really enjoying the method and I am learning at a fast pace. However, there are a few minor issues that would improve the experience :
Sometimes when I playback the recording of my speech it is distorted.
When the sentence spoken by Rocket is very fast, it sometimes does not recognise any part of my recorded speech if I repeat it at a slower pace.
The Flash Cards ratings allow you to put what you think is the rating - Very subjective and therefore of no real value.

I have used Rocket French for several years. The dialogue is relevant and the reinforcement lessons help to make connections that aid memorization. However, the voice recognition is spotty and does not always work, and it takes a long time for it to register. When I first started using Rocket French there was a feature that actually matched your voice to the native French speaker... very cool, but that is no longer available. The feedback given for pronunciation is a bit arbitrary since you don't really know if it's the microphone or your pronunciation that is the problem. I have tried several different microphones, but the result is still inconsistent. For the second level, I wish they had kept the same speakers as in level one. Since I need to review the lessons from time-to-time, it can become a bit redundant, but I am going to try the travelogue sessions to mix it up. Overall, this is a good product for the price and I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning a new language.

For someone who spend a lot of time at the office and has little time for classroom type learning this format is excellent.The presentation is clear and makes easy listening. Progression from one stage to the next is slow and with lots of repetition. This enable rapid learning.

Quite good. Major negative is that there is too much 'fluff' english being spoken. Whilst I understand the need to make learning fun and not boring, only 20 percent of any recording is actually learning material. It means a lot of waisted listening time to get anything of beneficial value.
English I can speak, it's French I'm not so good at!

a great variety of ways to learn from listen.... to write.
really helps to improve retention. enjoying the challenge !! the next review will be written in French. Looking forward to my next trip to New Caledonia and France.

If you're starting from scratch like me I can highly recommend Rocket French. Besides teaching you useful vocabulary, the course is enjoyable to listen to and always keeps you motivated. This is the most important thing. If you are not motivated you won't progress. It's very satisfying that after repeated listening and speaking out loud, slowly things start to make sense. And with the apps or mp3's I can easily find a few minutes here and there to revise whilst on the go, in the kitchen etc. Highly recommended. Oh, and great customer service too.

Well, I was very pleasantly surprised! I had thought Rosetta would be my choice, but I didn't care for it - nor did many others in their reviews. I finally ended up with Rocket, and I'm extremely pleased with the trial lessons so far.
