Rocket French Reviews

Thank you rocket French! My husband Charles bought me my rocket French course and it has been a great learning experience. We travelled through New Brunswick, Quebec City and Montreal. I was proud to be able to read signs, directions, and engage in simple conversations.

Besides my native Czech I speak and write English and Russian fluently, both of which I learned the traditional way. Now I am at the end of Level 1 of Rocket French. The Rocket approach is very effective, I am learning about 4 times faster than with the traditional school method.
It is still work, it does require discipline but there are little pleasures about it as well. The lesson speakers Claire and Paul are very charming, in particular, Claire's speech is just lovely.
The customer support is fast and effective even so that it is limited to the application programming issues. They will not respond to anything related to the language itself or any issue beyond that what is outside the screen.
The Rocket method "weaves" the language, it gives a hint of word meanings, then hint of grammar then both the meanings and the grammar reappear later with a slight twist building up the full grasp. Similarly so with the common phrases.
Another strength is the voice recognition, it works very well (nearly). The computer has no mercy, so when you say it right, you know your pronunciation is right, no less. But the program does have limitations, if I try to work on a lesson around 8pm there is not enough bandwith for the voice recognition. All of sudden 30% of sentences are rejected, not recognized etc. while off hours I get rarely anything wrong.

C'est tout

The lessons help you learn french systematically and its great to go back to previous lessons and review what you've learned through flashcards and assessments (quiz, know it etc.).. It is my first attempt at learning french and so far it is engaging and motivates me to move through the lessons without giving up. I think this is key when learning a new language which can be highly frustrating. The only thing I could criticize is the voice recognition needs to be improved as it is 80% functional. All in all, great learning experience!

I can't. you won't let the honest responses be submitted. there is nothing awesome about your program. Neither, do you respond in a timely manner to concerns. So if you want honest then let them be submitted

I've just started using the program but so far I am very pleased. I'll be able to critique it better once I move further along in the course.
Are you likely to buy again is one star because I only want the French course, so I won't be purchasing another, and Customer Service is one star because I've had no contact with anyone. So the one stars are not an indication of anything bad.
I have found the course enjoyable and I am looking forward to learning French. I also am fortunate to have a friend who is a native French speaker to guide me along the way.

it's a very helpful attempt for the people who are interested to learn French...
I've learnt few sentences as um very new learner. if anyone continuously practice with rocket language apps, it will be easier to learn the language.
thank you.

Rocket French method is easy and simple but as Italian I can better learn by focusing on the French words that most of the times are similar to Italian ones. Anyhow this rocket French explains and teaches me in English language and in this way I can even learn more English. Therefore I suggest this Rocket Version to the Italians in order that they can learn English and French as well.

Initially I liked the program. But there are some frustrating elements that could be improved.
1. Too often new nouns are presented without the prefix. To really build vocabulary, we need to know whether a noun is masculine or feminine.
2. Too often expressions are presented only in the casual "tu" form. Yet most of the time we would likely need to use the formal "vous" form. But that is not provided in many of the lessons.
3. Some of the vocabulary in the lessons is not very practical. It would be better if the words chosen for a lesson were those most likely to be used on a daily basis.
4. The program does not save your progress. You have to remember where you left off. When I log in it always takes me back to an early lesson that was completed some time ago.

Seems to be quite quick. I am enjoying it so far. Unfortunately I do not like being bombarded with asking for reviews of the course or offers. If there is anything that would prevent me from buying again it would be this. I ask respectfully please stop.

I am finding the program difficult to use. I cannot access the written or quiz sections. It is also a problem trying to access the subsequent module. I wish I had purchased only Level 1. The opportunity to listen and have my pronunciation corrected is appreciated but I would like to be able to access the rest of the module segments.
