Rocket Languages Reviews

Love it. I've been working with Rocket French for nearly five years. Many would be proficient with French by now, but language study for me is difficult. Along the way, I travelled to France two times and managed adequately; I could generally make my wishes known in French. One benefit of studying French has been to learn more about my native language, English. It's amazing what I've learned about English, especially regarding vocabulary, and sometimes even grammar.

Although I'm very satisfied with RF, I scored "buying again" as a one-star because learning one language is all I can manage.

I love the way the courses are organized... stimulating interactive conversations (with explanations!) that can be downloaded as MP3s, along with voice recognition/replay, voice-to-text translation (and correction!), role playing on my laptop and even more detailed information for further reading. They did an awesome job with Rocket French!

I enjoy the courses because they are well structured and easy to follow. Most importantly, I find the user friendly platform makes it simple to navigate the lessons. I would like, however, some more texts to read for comprehension testing.

I like this program a lot. I have it for two languages. It is good for learning grammar, both in sentence structure and formality levels.

The only thing i would like more is if you were taught more vocabulary right from the beginning because learning everything as part of a sentence can make it hard to separate words for me.

But i like that they have sections and tips and explanations to help you learn to speak the languages like a native. It let's you know why you say something a certain way and explains what each thing means literally while telling you why a native uses a particular phrase instead of how Google translate would put it literally.

Rocket french est bien tellement pour apprendre langue francais.
jessaie d,approndre le francaise et de bien parler.
J,ai voyage en France et c,est tellemont beau. les gens de France sont gentils et chaleureux. La democratie de France est si celebre. Je voudrais aller en France encore une fois. Monaco est aussi tres beau. La paix soit la France et son peuple.

Pretty happy overall with the medium for learning. I often use it on the go, walking or driving, when I can't check the screen, so the spelling of some words are not obvious until I get time to review them. Otherwise quite happy.

The interface is excellent, and the lesson design is excellent. I've tried Rosetta Stone and another program before, and I find Rocket French far better.

The voice recognition, however, is lame. Short words are near impossible. My accent is doubtless awful, but I can mutter a vulgar epithet and get 25%, whereas it will tell me, "Sorry, I didn't get that" on repeat efforts at "gros." This feature sorely needs work.

Nothing "awesome" to say. I thought you wanted my honest, candid feedback. Still waiting for help on the problem of inserting special characters in the writing practice section of lessons. Rocket told me I must wait two to four days.

I get the impression Rocket also doesn't teach grammar either—at least not overtly. Disappointing.

What's your return policy?

Just started but after having tried out several others, love the way this program works. Hopefully I will continue to move smoothly from lesson to lesson. This is a great way to review a language you have previously learned and want to come back to.

I am taking the French course but I find the man talks way too much in English with annoying 'jokes'. Sorry but listening to him makes it difficult for me to continue and I loose interest. Over half the lessons are in translated English or him talking.The price for the course is good and I haven't had to use customer service to comment.
