Rocket French Reviews

It's really useful, if you are motivated, that's the best online programme i have ever done. I am doing level one and when i finish i intend to keep up with level 2 and 3!

I like the fact that you have to speak, listen, writte, do real conversation and the audios for the lessons are very good, you don't get bored doing it which is very important!

Rocket French is absolutely the best online language learning programme that I have ever tried in my life. Comparing with Rosetta Stone or Pimsleur's French products, I think this is more comprehensive, interactive and interesting as the hosts of Rocket French introduce you to French language and culture with detailed explanations. As for the games provided, I enjoy playing them a lot and they certainly help me develop my four skills (Reading, writing, listening and speaking) in French language!

I will recommend Rocket French to all of my friends. Also, I do look forward to seeing the enrichment of teaching materials here :)

The Rocket French is a great Product. I studied French for two years but after I graduated I didn't have the opportunity to practice French. But Rocket French is everywhere as long as you have Wi-Fi. I tried it on my laptop, my tablet and my phone; works great every time. The interface is easy to use and the lessons are easy to follow. Sample conversations are not the 'usual' boring ones. I enjoy the lessons! Also the way lessons are structured helps me remember the previous vocabulary and grammar. I would recommend Rocket French for busy people who doesn't have the time to attend regular classes. Its much cheaper and much more available.

Besides the nice and easy way to study, the system is (tech part) super:
You may speak and the software performs a complete analysis (not just comparing with a previous recorded sound) but actually shows the interpreted sound so User could see the word(s) parts that he is having more trouble with correctly pronunciation .

What I love about Rocket Languages is the mobile app. I listen to the lessons while I'm driving somewhere, and in the car I can focus on the lesson and vocalize what I hear. It's the repetition which is making the learning process go quicker.

The format the lessons follow are forming an nice foundation for language learning and confidence building.

Quite good. Major negative is that there is too much 'fluff' english being spoken. Whilst I understand the need to make learning fun and not boring, only 20 percent of any recording is actually learning material. It means a lot of waisted listening time to get anything of beneficial value.
English I can speak, it's French I'm not so good at!

For someone who spend a lot of time at the office and has little time for classroom type learning this format is excellent.The presentation is clear and makes easy listening. Progression from one stage to the next is slow and with lots of repetition. This enable rapid learning.

I have used Rocket French for several years. The dialogue is relevant and the reinforcement lessons help to make connections that aid memorization. However, the voice recognition is spotty and does not always work, and it takes a long time for it to register. When I first started using Rocket French there was a feature that actually matched your voice to the native French speaker... very cool, but that is no longer available. The feedback given for pronunciation is a bit arbitrary since you don't really know if it's the microphone or your pronunciation that is the problem. I have tried several different microphones, but the result is still inconsistent. For the second level, I wish they had kept the same speakers as in level one. Since I need to review the lessons from time-to-time, it can become a bit redundant, but I am going to try the travelogue sessions to mix it up. Overall, this is a good product for the price and I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning a new language.

Really GREAT product!

I am using Rocket French on an Apple Macbook Pro with the Google Chrome Browser.

I am really enjoying the method and I am learning at a fast pace. However, there are a few minor issues that would improve the experience :
Sometimes when I playback the recording of my speech it is distorted.
When the sentence spoken by Rocket is very fast, it sometimes does not recognise any part of my recorded speech if I repeat it at a slower pace.
The Flash Cards ratings allow you to put what you think is the rating - Very subjective and therefore of no real value.

I like everything so far on the trial membership, except for the "rating" task that forces you to rate each word of the flashcards. It's tedious and who knows how to categorize each word anyways? The modules are fun!
