Rocket French Reviews

Rocket French is truly a comprehensive course. The lessons are clear and understandable and the drills are excellent. Besides that, there are so many ancillary features that really enhance the learning experience. I recommend this to anyone who wants to learn French at home. It takes work, but you get out what you put into it.

I had to buy it in English, in French and in the future, in German... It was a little bit sour to pay. But the course is good. I am recommending to my friends already and my wife is also enjoying it .

Rocket French is the best of the many French language teaching programs I have had experience with. I had a minimum amount of French training in high school and college just to meet the language requirement for my chosen field. Language learning at the time consisted of textbook, classroom and language laboratory exercises. For me this was torture as it took away from the time I could devote to the science and mathematics I needed to concentrate on to pursue a career in medicine. I am now retired but I have been involved with teaching students in other fields of education. Three years ago I decided to learn French. As I see it, the availability of computerized language programs of different varieties with voice recognition software has been a tremendous advance in language learning. I began with Rosetta Stone and enjoyed the experience and found it to be very helpful and I am happy that I had that experience. I also spent three weeks in France at an immersion school. I subscribe to Yabla which for a conscientious person can simulate an immersion experience in France. I enrolled in News in Slow French and look forward to their weekly output. Of course I also bought a book on French grammar and studied that.

I am only on day 9 of RF, but my experience thus far has been excellent. I have been trying to teach myself French with various books and programs over the past few years, and I haven't always been terribly disciplined up until about a year ago. Like many, speaking is my greatest hurdle. I am enjoying the record and playback features, and comparing my voice with the pre-recorded sentences until I get it right. Explanations are clear and helpful. Customer support is also excellent - questions are answered quickly. Thanks, Rocket French!

I have tried a number of programs, books, cd's etc...I always come back to Rocket Languages. Very satisfying to know you can learn another language so quick and efficiently. I love these programs and always recommend Rocket Languages when I hear of someone wanting to learn an new language.

I never thought I could learn French in a very short while with my tight schedules(School and Work),thanks to Rocket Languages for their support,through mails....wonderful apps that allows you to listen and repeat,listen and spell,listen and respond.....It has all made it a wonderful experience to learn easily and have fun at the same time.Now I can go to French speaking countries and say Salut!

I finally started using Rocket French properly and really like it. Each level is well presented and the various ways to practice and review the conversations are superb. Also all the bonus supplements such as the alphabet, numbers, telling the time are wonderful. I totally recommend Rocket Languages.

The audio lessons are presented very well. They are by far the best part of the program. The written tests and multiple choice tests work fine. The interactive voice tests are sometimes glitchy. As others have said, the website and iOS app can sometimes have issues. The iOS app is not as quite as fully functional as the website, but still pretty good. Overall, I'm happy with the program. I suspect it will continue to get better with time. I'm not disappointed with my purchase.

I moved to France without speaking a word of French and bought this program after reading some good reviews of it online. I've bought some other online resources but Rocket French is the only one I've ended up coming back to repeatedly for self-study. The dialogues are well done: I like the brief explanations of the vocab and the repetition is helpful without being tedious. I've actually been able to use the structures in real conversation here in France. The program has been improved a lot even since I bought it, and now you can practice what you learn in every possible format--- writing, reading, speaking, listening --- and the ability to download the audio is great if you want to listen to it in your car. Sometimes I listen to a dialogue several times before looking at the transcript and this helps me figure out how well my listening comprehension is coming along. I'm really happy with this program and recommend it to anyone looking for an entertaining way to learn French.

To anyone reading reviews, trying to decide if you should purchase Rocket Languages, the answer is yes! It's a decision i made that I am very happy with. I am 15 years old and a sophomore in high school. I take French in class but the instruction was really not doing it for me. Learning French is a goal i've had since a very young age and even more so now that I am applying to study in France my Junior year. This service is a no gimmick one. You pay, and you get lifetime access to the materials as well as all the updates. There's also a mobile app which was recently updated to be very efficient. I haven't tried any other online language learning programs, but i do have a lot of experience with technology and language instruction and i can say you will not be disappointed. *when I purchased the first tier of instruction i was prompted to get the other two for a great deal!*
