I enjoy the lessons. They are amusing and move quick enough to be educational. Good topics covered. Best pronunciation coaching by a computer program I’ve seen by far. Even photos of France. Flash cards / “ know it” make one think hard.
Very happy because it is easy for learn, i learn to pronounce better.
EXCELLENT! Liked the first 4 lessons, with the ability to repeat pronunciations, and explanations.
Having a really hard time with next few, with grammar and tense--all well explained, but I think it's more
the complexity of the language itself. I think the best way to learn French is to be born there!
it's really fun! its just make you love the learning the language. well done Rocket French team
Just at the end of my first week and looking forward to continuing. Seems easy to follow but I can see that constant review of previous lessons is likely to be my path to success. Also, I can see where vocabulary recall may become a primary source of frustration for me. I'm pushing forward and hoping for a level of fluency to use in traveling within a year. Note: I have had no reason to contact customer service at this point.
Rocket Japanese V1 was great a good balance between the conversations and grammar. But Japanese V2 seems to have far too much grammar content and this is resulting in very slow progress learning and relearning the same grammatical rules . Rocket Japanese V1 was much better . This focus on grammar is reminiscent of learning French when I was at school (in the 1960s ha ha!) and I fear will have the same effect... a French qualification but with only tourist level French conversational skills. A shame ...
Response from Rocket Languages
We're sorry to hear that you are finding the course too heavy on grammar. In our most recent review, we aligned Rocket Japanese to the JLPT requirements so that our course covers the standard topics a Japanese learner needs. For learners who are working towards JLPT, they have a more complete resource that they can use in their studies. For those who are not, aligning our courses simply means that you have a more concrete view of what your lessons cover. We have tried to introduce the heavy grammatical concepts in a digestible way, by splitting them up across the lessons and keeping things simple. We're confident that these updates are much more useful for all our learners, serious or casual!
I have just stated learning in Rocket Spanish. I use my AirPods Pro with Noise Cancellation and the audio input and output work very well. Mauricio and Amy are very kind. I listen to not only to their pronunciation but also their vocal inflection and their personality comes through.
I really like this course so far, I'm learning phrases and words not just the grammar. I can't wait to see how far I can get with Rocket French.
This is how I would love to have been taught French while at school! Although I have continued to study French on and off over the years using books and different online courses, and can just about survive when travelling in France, my main difficulty has been in understanding what is being said to me (I can read French a bit) and suffering from 'brain freeze' whenever asked a question! Rocket French has been a dream come true for me - I decided to start from the very beginning rather than go in at a higher level and I've not only understood some rules for the first time, but it's really helped reinforce what I knew but had forgotten over time! The course is entertaining and engaging, never boring, and is the only online course I've discovered where the level of engagement is so high. You also get the feeling that you really are learning French the way modern day French people speak. There are other online courses which are cheaper, but for the progress I've already made in just a few weeks, Rocket is extremely good value for money. I would really recommend this course to anyone, regardless of the level they are presently at. I wished I'd discovered Rocket earlier!
This course is an excellent supplement for a regular language course I'm taking. Rocket Language provides an opportunity for me to get lots of targeted pronunciation and speaking practice that's missing from the other course. Being able to record my voice and immediately compare it to that of a native speaker is tremendously helpful. It is improving my phonological processing, speaking speed, pronunciation, and listening comprehension. I access this course for free through my local library.
