This is my first foray into online language courses. Rocket French came highly recommended and I have to agree, it is well constructed, easy to follow, has excellent use of repetition to solidify my learning without getting repetitive and is just plain fun! The vocabulary is broad and practical and I can see myself in France drawing on specific lessons in specific settings. They introduce verbs much more organically so that it does not feel like rote memorization of verb tenses as it did back in high school Spanish class. I would love to take a non romance language to see if it is as easy to learn as French seems to be. If I do it will be with Rocket Languages
Overall, Rocket French is a solid product for beginners like me who are starting to learn French. The interactive audio lessons are well constructed, and with the various assessment tools the overall learning experience is more than what you would typically expect from an online offering. The quality of the lessons are somewhat similar to the ones from a private tutor. Even though the price for all 3 levels combined is on the higher end, I've found it to be well worth the money. I would recommend this to a French learner!
Rocket Languages is a very helpful tool in learning new language. I so much love the program(Writing, Speaking and the interactive tool). No regrets on purchasing this product. Would highly recommend this to my friends. Merci! ;)
Well, the course is OK, working with the microphone helps. I am very happy with it.
I am not happy and I have to say I am disappointed with the customer service.
I have asked 3 times for the invoice for paid amount, nothing happened, no response. I am getting daily mails from Marie-Claire with silly comments and questions (automatic mail, I am sure) but the invoice, for the money I have paid still not come.
I need it urgently for my accountant.
I do not know what else I should do!

Most customer support staff have been on holiday over the Christmas and New Year period so some emails have taken longer to get to at this time!
Rocket has been awesome for helping me to reconnect with my high school french, which I studied over 20 years ago. Great how it covers listening, speaking and reading/writing. I love how interactive it is, makes it actually really fun!! Easy to set personal challenges with the score keeping and badges etc.
I love the user friendliness of the course. It is exciting, interesting and makes me want to learn. The native speakers are fun loving and truly awesome. I have every thing I need to become fluent in a short space of time. I love the testing and the grading system. The ability to test my speaking skills using the microphone is also a blessing in disguise. It boosts my morale and makes me want to learn all the languages offered.
I tried learning French using a CD set and books, but found the process slow and inflexible. With RF, I am able to vary the pace of learning and really focus on pronunciation. I also like the different forms of learning offered and the mix between conversational French and grammar. Well done on a great product!
Please can you let me know how I can use the keyboard in the "Write It" section? I am able to type some of the accents, but others are less obvious? Perhaps there are keystroke sequences that I need to learn?
Kind Regards

At the bottom left of the keyboard there is a check box that, when checked, shows the different accents.
The way it explains the language is very nice for a beginning student. The conversations are nicely spelled out and the speaking of the people is easily understood. The conversations are also spoken slowly so it is easy to understand and it isn't overwhelming. My daughter enjoys the application and hopes it will help her in french class this year in school.
So far I enjoy rocket French and am learning at a nice pace and am happy with my progress. The audio tracks are fun and informative and I enjoy the testing style. I also just discovered the flash cards on the online site. I am using the IOS app and that is not available, so I'm happy to find it here online ! I would recommend this product.
Really do like the flashcards and the testing methodology for Rocket French...everyone needs to know about this great product...the price is very fair...would like to see a Rocket French level 4 with discussions/dialogues on the EU, foreign immigration, lots on economic subjects, geopolitical, anatomy and physiology of the human body...so far, very impressed with this course...thanks, Rocket French!!!!
