I have 3 previous French courses (Premium, Premium Plus, and Platinum). I have been extremely satisfied with them; I listen to the audio lessons all of the time to increase my comprehension of spoken French. I purchased the Travelogue package and have been very disappointed that the audio is in English. Without being able to listen to the entire lesson in French, it completely takes away the audio experience and turns it into just a series of exercises to be completed. Is there any way to change the audio portion into French, instead of the woman reading the lesson in English?

A French narrative will be in the Rocket French Travelogue series by the end of the year! (Update 2018: The Rocket French Travelogues now have the full script available in French as well as English, and French and English audio versions that you can use much like the Interactive Audio course tracks)
i like the rocket japenese learning system because i have learned so much and i want to go to japan when i grow up and there is a great video game company that i want to work for and i want to be a missionare.
Rocket Languages is a great way to learn the language. I just completed my my first lesson in Rocket Spanish and I should say that I have had a great experience so far and enjoyed learning new words and grammar. I did not encounter any issues/negatives yet so far, and time will tell. The speaking after learning is a great way to remember what we learned so far with virtual interaction. I wish they had some pictures that can strengthen our ability to interact in a fun way, but that's just my feeling. I am a novice and it sets a good tone to the people who want to learn something new. I hope the engagement remains the same as I delve deeper into the course, but I can say that I can recommend this course/program to anyone who wants to jump in and learn a new language whether it is for personal/professional reasons or for a fun experience.

Thank you for the thoughtful and encouraging review, Seeta! We're thrilled that your first lesson in Rocket Spanish has been such a positive experience. It's great to hear you're enjoying the mix of grammar, vocabulary, and speaking practice. We appreciate your suggestion about adding visuals; that’s valuable feedback. We're committed to keeping the experience engaging and effective as you progress. Thanks for recommending us, and best of luck on your learning journey!
I've used Rosetta Stone for other languages including Arabic and nothing matches Rocket Arabic. Rosetta Stone was completely unusable. Rocket languages is the best method I've used to date for learning a language.
I got to the Spanish Interactive Audio Lesson 1.6 and I give up. The Rocket Record is terrible. I have a headset with a microphone (I'm not using my computer's built-in mic) and I have problems with the transcriptions about 40% of the time - and, believe it or not, it's not me. I live in Spain and I'm often told that my pronunciation is very good. Incredibly frustrating. Also, in the exercises, they'll ask you what is the Spanish for, say, "doctor" but they don't tell you if they want masculine or feminine. There are a number of spelling mistakes as well: such as when there's no accent mark where there should be an accent mark. And I love you Amy but, boy, are you annoying. The audio lessons are much too long and could easily be shortened if Amy would just get to the point. Finally, a note to Maurice: no means NO. If you ask someone if you can take her photo and she says no, drop it and move on. If you ask a woman for her phone number and she politely demurs, as Amy did, back off. You're creeping me out, man!

Hi Steven - Thanks for submitting a review. Are you mainly using the course on Safari? or the iOS app? There haven't been any reports of voice recognition problems that I know of, but we would like to get to the bottom of what's causing your issues in case it affects other people as well. Please send as much detail as you can to customer support. With regards the masc/fem notation; we have only been notating when it is the feminine version, as otherwise the amount of notations would be enormous. Also, right now we are in the middle of a comprehensive review of Rocket Spanish, and things like the accent marks and spelling mistakes are being (re)proofed as we speak. All of the Interactive Audio lessons have been done, and right now the Language & Culture lessons are being looked at. And, yes, Amy can be a little polarizing! Unfortunately Amy and Mauricio now live in different countries, so re-recording some of the more macho style conversations is going to be a bit tricky. We are aware that these days a small amount of the content is verging on inappropriate, and we are trying to formulate a plan to sort it out in the odd places that it occurs.
The various lesson formats really reinforce the learning. Listen, repeat, play back, vocabulary, know it, write it, quiz, flashcards. J'adore apprendre!
Nice try period , Enough information to choose to get the package at the end of it. Very clear presentation, i have fun and get a lot of enjoyment . Language and culture parts are well done , games give confidence in language acquisition
I have found that Rocket Languages is a fantastic tool for learning new languages. I'm able to perfect pronunciation with the interactive system. Most importantly, I can learn at my own pace, wherever I have internet access. I highly recommend it to anyone who is eager to learn to speak another language.
I am enjoying this learning system. It gets right down to business and I like that.
It is very easy to download an audio lecture and listen along in the car. 20 minute lectures aren't too long to become bored or tired, and they're not too short to feel like you didn't receive enough information. I am not great at learning languages, but this program is actually helping me understand and speak Italian rather quickly!
