Rocket French Reviews

I'm really enjoying the pedagogy of this course and I am learning lots of French. It really does build beautifully from one lesson to the next and very good range of different teaching and learning strategies. However there are two problems that do impede the enjoyment of this. The first is the awful script given to 'Paul' one of the two presenters. It feels like something from the 1980s in terms of how sexist it is and this is surprising considering the quality of everything else on this course. The second problem is a technical problem that appears towards the end of the first module (lesson 6.3 and 6.4) where the transcript of the discussions stops working. It is possible to scroll down to look at the phrases used - but the running transcript that has been a feature of the earlier lessons freezes after the first couple of minutes which is a shame. Other than that - this is a really good course. But please course writers - can you update the script so that this does not offend future listeners.

good course. easy to learn and understand. the record system is good

Salut tout le monde, I’m quite satisfied with the course so far. I think it is a great app that can help me to really, really learn French. Certainly, it takes time to complete each lesson. But, from my point of view, it is worth the time and effort.
À bientôt,

Well, I'm kind of struggling on how to write the words, but other than that, I love it. :]

I like the lessons and the reinforcement activities as I really feel that I will recall the various words and phrases in my longer term memory. The emphasise on pronunciation is good but even at an easy setting sometimes the words don't register correctly - however it is good on improving my speech.
There are a few annoyances - the lesson is 20 minutes, not sure why we need the opening and closing music. Paul does seem to speak English with a strange accent which is distracting. Given the price of the course I would assume that this is aimed at adults so we don't need the forced cheerfulness and "jokes" that are included. I would rather the lesson had more actual learning content and less slang words.
I purchased the course as it has grammar lessons - these are OK but I generally have a lot of questions on minor points which are not covered - a reference as to whether these will be covered later in the course would be useful.
I would also like to know how the 3 levels equate to external standards. For the UK for instance if you do the 3 levels is this equivalent to a GCSE qualification or would it be more A level standard as I would like to take my French further.

I've learned so much from Rocket Languages, the platform is very well done. All stages make sense as you move on. It isn't too much grammar or vocabulary, just the right amount to keep you interested and invested. Exercises are excellent for you to memorize and keep you familiar with the language.

Great! Getting ready to go over to France this is the perfect website.

Easy for beginners and makes the lesson fun and enjoyable. Love how you can go back and redo lessons if you wish and that there is many ways to test your understanding.

The pronouncian is an excellent review, and the lessons are about the right length.

I so much love rocket French,most especially the free trial given to us,am short of speech but I only want to thank you,and the few days I joined I have started understanding
