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.

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.

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.

I really like the interactive nature of the course. It provides very practical exercises and examples that will help me as I learn how to have conversations with others in French. Would highly recommend it to beginner to intermediate students.

Way too much English spoken in the course. My experience of learning a language is that total immersion is the fastest way to learn.

In this course the constant interruption with English is very distracting.,

Response from Rocket Languages

Thank you for your review, it's much appreciated. We're sorry that you're not happy with Rocket French. We've designed our courses to suit a variety of learning styles, and while total immersion is great, we've found it's not a very practical approach for a self-study online course. In Rocket French (and other languages), we break down the conversations in English so that learners can understand what's being said and why, but learners do have the option to immerse themselves in the conversations without any English explanations at all by using the "Play conversation" button in Play It! if they want to. I hope that helps! All the best with your language learning.

From the news letters received so far, Rocket French seems the best so far when I compared it with other platforms. They have great learning platforms. I hope there will be a consideration for creating a package for those who wish to learn from intermediate to advance.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thanks so much for your review, Oluwadamilola. We just wanted to let you know that Rocket French includes 3 levels - beginners, intermediate and advanced. You can find out more here: https://www.rocketlanguages.com/french/courses. All the best with your language learning!

I've been learning French for a long time, but I've always just watched Youtube videos or listened to popular podcasts for French learners. In other words, I didn't learn actively. So, I already knew a lot of phrases, but even for me, the level 1 lessons are helpful. I always find something that I'm surprised how much I don't know how to spell French words that I already know its sounds through this course. And super easy to follow! Good investment for sure.

The lessons are full of useful phrases and vocabulary. The presenters make everything clear and accessible, and there is an element of fun which is great to reinforce the learning process. I look forward to my lessons every day! And I know I'm making progress!
