Rocket French has been fantastic! It's so helpful listening to an actual conversation, and then breaking down that conversation and figuring out what it actually means. I really think the Rocket approach is much more effective than simply learning vocabulary and grammar. I've most appreciated being able to focus on the pronunciation of so many new words, and really learning what these words sound like, so that I can recognize them in a real conversation.
I haven't had to contact Rocket about any customer service issues, so I have no idea what their service is like. I gave a 5-star rating for this, just to give them the benefit of the doubt.
I was happy with Rocket French in the beginning but as I am now in lesson 6 I find it extremely frustrating. I cannot remember 2-3 phrases and then say them quickly enough. I am constantly being cut off in mid sentence, and no I haven't paused, and the voice recognition is not very good.

Response from Rocket Languages: Please contact customer support, we should be able to resolve technical issues like this.
So far so good! I'm learning phrases fairly quickly. It would be helpful to have a walkthrough on basic letter sounds before starting to dive into phrases and grammar, though. I still can't figure out the r sound and feel like I'm having issues with each lesson as a result.
Rocket Languages is a fantastic way to learn a new language. This program is truly appealing.... The Rocket review makes this application a fun and complete learning experience. Although the price made me think twice, Rocket Languages is worthy. It is really worth it. I recommended to those who are unsure... Trust me, this is a great investment.
I am fairly new to learning French having tried a couple of other on-line French courses which mainly focused on the written aspect with some audio. Rocket French certainly got me moving along with the correct pronunciation and the speaking. The lessons were comprehensive in their explanation and I felt as though I learned something new with every lesson. The trail experience has been very positive. As we are about to start traveling (sadly not France this time) I will have to delay purchasing as this stage.
I would highly recommend this software for people who want to learn french without having to go to classes and pay for a tutor! I have learned a lot and I have astonished my mum with my progress! This is one of the best sites I have seen and I would definitely buy it again. Merci Rocket French!
I have been using the Rocket French course for one month, and every day I am more impressed with the site. After first being intimidated, now I look forward to discovering new features every day. It has long been my goal to return to learning French, so thank you Rocket French for making it possible.
rocket languages has been very helpful and has taught me french a lot quicker i was than excepting. i have enjoyed the pronunciation which most websites do not have. i would recommend it to older people because it can be a bit complicated than you would think.
I started learning French more than a year ago. It is quite an interesting language, though somewhat more difficult than some other languages for me. I find Rocket French easy to go with, structured, and with plenty of opportunity to practice. I see that after listening and practicing different sentences or phrases from the audio lessons, they stay with me. I am able to use them without much effort while practicing French in other contexts. The hosts are nice too, especially Paul and Marie-Claire.
One observation: when I practice the speaking, a few times I need to repeat the given word/phrase and it shows "Sorry, I didn't catch that. Please try again". Sometimes, of course, it's because my pronunciation is not be correct, but many times I give the same pronunciation consecutively- the first time is not right, the second one it is.
I have just started using Rocket French again, after using it briefly before travelling overseas last year. Using it in conjunction with in person lessons to boost my learning as I want to challenge myself, and I'm finding it quite useful so far. The fact that I can use it on my computer, or on my phone while in the car on bluetooth is great, and I love that it updates my progress on both.
The program seems to have trouble recognising when I say "Vous" - But speech recognition is a great feature otherwise. There was an error with the 1.2 quiz, not logging my 5/5 result on the computer, but it did work on the iPhone app.
All in all and good product so far. Thank you.
