Hi Daiva, thank you for you review. It's awesome to hear that you find our Rocket French course supports your learning and that you would recommend it to other learners looking to expand their French knowledge. We wish you all the best with your French language learning!
The learning is okay, but for students I think it would be more fun for them if there were more game-like qualities. Not so much it turns into a video game, but just enough to make students have fun during it.

Response from Rocket languages - Hi Henry, thank you for your review. While our courses are focused on in-depth and comprehensive linguistic content, we understand that gamification can be a powerful motivator in learning. As such, your suggestion has been passed on to the Product Development team, who will take it into consideration. All the best with your Spanish learning journey!
I enjoy the multifaceted way in which the program is presented.

For the price this is a very good program and the interactive sections are easy to understand. I've used other online programs and so far this one is the best. My main dissatisfaction with it has to do with the organization of the information presented. After the self study sections it would make sense to use the new vocabulary and/or concepts presented during the interactive lessons. For example: There's an entire lesson dealing with the weather but no where in the succeeding interactive lessons is there any discussion of weather. When vocabulary is not used, it's easily forgotten. And you end up with little sense of how to include it in conversation. Also, when new grammatical concepts are introduced in the interactive lessons there isn't always a discussion of the concept. Examples: (1) Nel, nella, negli are presented in unit 4. It's a completely new group of prepositional phrases, but there's no explanation. (2) When nouns ending in E are pluralized, the ending is always i (as in the masculine) regardless of whether the noun is masculine or feminine. I purchased an Italian grammar book and was able to clear up my confusion around this, but it should have been mentioned in one of the lessons where a plural feminine noun ended in an i. These are just the most recent issues of this kind I've encountered. There are more. So, more thought regarding organization and presentation would be warranted.

Hello Rachel, thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We're glad to hear that the interactive component of Rocket Italian is helping you with your language learning. We're sorry that you're finding the layout of the course difficult to navigate. I have shared your feedback with our Product Development team for their consideration. As it stands, our Audio lessons are designed to improve your speaking and listening skills, rather than focusing on grammar. For grammar-related topics, we recommend checking out our Language and Culture lessons. We appreciate your support and wish you all the best with your language-learning journey!
I love the way the program is set up to help you thought seeing, speaking and writing. Make sure that you have a microphone to hooked up to your computer to get the most out of the program.

"I bought the course 10 years ago (French). I began working on it but had to stop for personal reasons. Since it offers lifetime access, I can restart now. The course has been updated with more content and a nicer interface, and I wanted to start over from scratch. Therefore, I emailed customer service to request a reset of all my exercises, and they kindly did so very quickly. I am very satisfied. The first time I used it was in 2014, in preparation for a trip to France in 2015. At that time, I only had access to level 1, but it helped me with the basics. I have tried many other apps because my native language is Portuguese, and Rocket French does not offer Portuguese to French. However, this course is definitely better; it's complete. You can learn all four skills: writing, listening, pronunciation, and reading, and they also provide some grammar and cultural tips. I wish they offered Portuguese to French; it would be easier for me since English is my second language, not my first.

Hi Luana, thank you for sharing your detailed review. It's great to hear that as a long-time user of Rocket French, you have found the course helpful in preparing for your travels to France. We are delighted that you have appreciated the various updates we have made to the programme over the years. We value your feedback regarding the availability of Rocket French in Portuguese, and I have passed this on to our product development team. We wish you all the best as you continue to learn and improve your French language skills!
The idea of the course is super good, but the audio lessons are too lengthy, I wish there would be an "essential parts" audio clip where the dialog is played back, as well as the language rules of the lesson. That would motivate me more to repeat the audio lessons, as well it would be amazing to have the transcripts of the audio files available for download.

Hi Fillip, I appreciate your feedback on our Rocket German course. I have forwarded your suggestion of an "essential parts" audio clip to our product development team for future consideration. To download the lesson audio, use the download button on the left-hand side of the audio bar. We wish you all the best in your language-learning journey!
So far I am satisfied with the course, the price seemed steep for only one language but so far I am liking it. We will see about customer service when or if I need it.
I believe I would recommend it a friend so far.
