I studied French in high school and ended up marrying a young francophone lady from Quebec, Canada. Early on in our marriage (30+ years ago) I took a correspondence course which helped with my grammar, vocabulary and overall knowledge of the language. Try as I may over all these years, I've never been able to quite attain "the ear" and as a result I've not been able to fully participate in discussions (can't catch enough of the conversation to understand what it is being discussed) with my wife's family.
After seven days using Rocket French, I am very optimistic that I will be able to attain "the ear". Why? Primarily due to the way the modules are structured and the focus on repetition, both in the lessons as well as the tests. I really enjoy how the information is presented as it is practical and the building block approach (each lesson building on previous learnings) works very well.
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.
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 love that you are able to speak through lessons. It feels like you have a great friend to practice with, except they are always there for practice!
Only wish is that the voice recorder would have a stop button because it doesn't seem to stop recording if fans are playing in the background or other white noise.
I did not purchase this product but it was instrumental in my learning "muchos palabras" in Espanol. I am thankful for this opportunity to learn many of the words that I was not familiar with. The fact that this opportunity was free makes it even sweeter.
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.
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 purchased Rocket Korean in August of 2016, yet I have just now begun exploring just how many things it can do! I absolutely love it and get online everyday. I have a 2 hour minimum study goal per day, and with Rocket Languages, it is SO easy to accomplish that! The two hours fly right by!
One thing I don't like is how in the Interactive Audio Lessons, there are TONS of extremely long phrases I've already found just in Module 1. I haven't even bothered studying them because it's 1) irrelevant to me and my study goals, and 2) it's simply too hard for a beginner to learn without knowing the bits and pieces that make up the phrases. In other words, I'd like either the long sentences to go away, be able to select which vocabulary I want to study, or the teacher to break it down to every word in the sentence.
All in all, my Rocket Languages experience has been awesome. As a 15 year old, it's hard to find language learning material I can afford and also be extremely useful and worth the money. And now I know by the amount of Korean knowledge I already have is that Rocket Languages definitely meets my strict criteria as a teenage language learner!
It was quite helpful for a beginner like me! It was quite annoying when I said something and it marked it as incorrect but if I said the same thing after a few tries then I would end up with a hundred percent. But it really did help me with understanding and sentence structure. I would recommend this site to anyone who would like to learn a brand new language such as Korean.
Amazing, but the understanding my speech could do some work. Sometimes I'll say it the same and get a low grade, but after multiple attempts after I'll get the 100%. And short words aren't understood at all by the computer at times.
