Rocket Languages Reviews

I like Rocket French and have found it helpful, but if you're a person who doesn't memorize sentences well in order to repeat them back orally or in writing, you may get frustrated. I can actually converse in French at an intermediate level, but I'm not able to memorize these lesson passages because, in the moment of studying, their only importance is as text to attach to my brain long enough to recant for the machine. Frankly, I don't learn fluidity from memorizing but from composing my own sentences, so I much prefer studying the vocabulary and the grammar, and those lessons here are very good and give me the needed tools. I think it would be a lot of work, but it would be cool if Rocket French could restructure for an experience that involved less rote repetition of longer texts. If you don't think you'd be disappointed by this, then it may be perfect for you.

After much deliberation and internet searches reading reviews of French courses I took the plunge and purchased Rocket French. I preferred once-off purchase with lifetime access to updates versus monthly subscription based courses for a start.

My available time for daily study /practise is limited so being able to download the audio lessons to practise during my daily commute is great as well as the ability to go at my own pace. Coming from a zero French knowledge base the structure of the course encourages me to continue with the next lesson as at the end of each lesson I am able understand the lesson conversation (which sounded like gibberish at the beginning of the lesson to me!)

Great and user friendly learning program!I decide to try Rocket French because I wante to learn some french before a trip to France. at first i want to go to french class but it was alittle difficult for me and i dont know good class in my city. this method prepare situation that learn french with native accent. I suggest to everyone try this interesting method of learning that supplies different popoular languages in the world .
I really liked the full audio transcripts for the lessons that I could listen to anywhere , then work on the remaining lesson pieces when I had time.
It's great that the lessons are based on useful situations.

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.

I am really enjoying it. I feel like I am having those 'aha moments' which I never got taking french in school. The way this is presented makes far more sense that the classroom teaching that I experienced in Quebec. We knew how to say we were opening the door, window, talk about the weather, ask "what time it is", my name is and ask to go to the bathroom.

I am a bit competitive. I like pushing myself against others. Just having my own score is fairly meaningless to me as I do not really know what it means. I like moving up the leaderboard and it keeps me going.

I would like to be able to correct my written mistakes in real-time rather than redo the exercise. I would redo anyway I just like making the corrections as I am visual and I keep redoing the same mistakes over and over when I cannot correct.

I will be purchasing. I am doing the seven-day trial. I want to complete it first then I will buy. One thing that I believe that most of us think about when making the decision to purchase the online course (at least I do) is... will I really keep at it? That is why I am pushing through the seven days.

This is exactly what I have been looking for.
in french! Ce ete exatemant que je cherche pour apprendre le langue france. VIOLA.

Amazing hosts. Everything is explained thoroughly and to point. Thanks to Rocket Languages, I could my concepts more clear and it has made me more confident in mastering my selected language.

Whilst I am not a beginner French student I selected that course to access gift beginner Italian for two of my seven year old grandchildren, who are proceeding with joy. The bonus for me is that I'm sailing quickly through the French course and learning a lot more than I ever did in the past. I'm grateful for Rocket's attention to detail, the beautiful pronunciation of native speakers and constant increases in vocabulary with interesting word lists which have jogged my memory from past French study. I have no complaints but only bouquets for your wonderfully entertaining and educative courses. Gracie tante/merci beaucoup!

I'm just starting but so far I think is an excellent course

Overall the course has some good points and some not so good,

The good is the audio course, I am not sure how far it can get you towards fluency but every little helps and the course does present information well. I found the banter a tad annoying at first but it's grown on me and I have come across stuff that i haven't seen elsewhere. My feeling is that it will get you no further than basic communication and that michel thomas method is far better, as is pimsleur and paul noble. I think their methods get you speaking and understanding more effectively and more quickly; that said this is a good supplement to other learning systems.

The bad for me is the grammar section. It is basically just explanations that could have come from any textbook but without exercises that support the material very well. I think for what they are doing here a textbook is a better option, its cheaper and you will get better reinforcement of the lessons. In fact the quizes attached seem completely irrelevant and are just vocab memorization.

The quizzes for the most part are just dull to be honest.
