Helps me get more comfortable with speaking French which is something I need to work on. There are many language app that drills in vocab till your bored but Rocket is the first one where it records our speech and has a play back feature that helps you correct your pitch accent.
This course is first rate, first class "stuff". Easy to use, easy to navigate through the lessons, and Rocket French really does the job. It's worth every single centime.
I started with Berlitz but I was unable to manage the technology. This is easier for me.
I have used several online apps for learning French. Each has its drawbacks and some of these are significant (for example, the platforms which allow anyone to "correct" other learners' exercises or give opinions as to what is "correct").
I bought the full French Rocket package a few years ago and didn't really use it. I found the Americanism - especially the mixture of American and French in the dialogues - intensely irritating. I was using material which was wholly in French, so Rocket's approach seemed like taking several steps back. Rocket still has some work to do on the written parts of the course, but it remains significantly better than the other offerings I have used.
Meanwhile, my comprehension improved greatly but I realised my grasp of conjugation was poor. I came back to Rocket with the intention of practising tenses, voices and moods. Rocket has been great for that and for me (who loves books and has a number of French grammar exercise books) better than books.
I would recommend Rocket especially to those who work well with a traditional approach to grammar.
I absolutely want to love this program. The content is great. The audio lessons are top notch, but I can't get anything to work correctly on any device and 20 days in and still no contact from a manager or tech after several email requests and live chat requests for it.
I've submitted a pile of screen captures and video of the errors. I've tried multiple devices and computers.
Marie G responds quickly over live chat, but nothing ever seems to come of it.
The program has great content, but trying to use it is is beyond infuriating.
At this point I'm not prepared to keep the product unless it's next to free.

Thanks for your review Jesse. Our sincere apologies for the trouble you've had with your course, and for the delay in getting some help for you. We will get some assistance from the IT team and get back to you ASAP.
This application is helping me a lot to learn French.
This course is especially valuable to me as it places great emphasis on pronunciation, which is a challenge in the French language. The practice units on spelling, pronunciation etc. at the end of the module provide excellent reinforcement of material recently learned. Thank you.
Response from Rocket Languages
It's awesome to hear how much the course's comprehensiveness and focus on pronunciation are helping you progress in your French language learning. You're a valued member of our Rocket community, John! Keep up the great work!
Additional grammar explanations helpful. The pronunciation of "Je" or "J' "changes significantly depending on the words and their grammatical spelling following "Je". Rote memorization is not a good approach when grammar determines pronunciation.
Response from Rocket Languages
Awesome to hear that you're enjoying our comprehensive Language and Culture lessons! We understand that rote memorization isn't everyone's cup of tea, which is why we offer three reinforcement activities focused on pronunciation at the end of each lesson.
I like that I can listen AND see the words but I really, really wish the speaker's buttons worked better so that I could hear the phrase repeatedly, once for each click.
