I have sampled several other French language programs over the last few years, and Rocket French most truly "rocks" in comparison. As an educator, I highly value the practical approach, the diversity of ways to practice and be reinforced through several learning modalities, the opportunities to actually speak with others and get feedback, the immediate response to written queries from various departments... It is all very motivating, and my beginning French has already improved dramatically in less than a week. What a powerful program! Il est magnifique!
I just started Rocket Japanese, and it's greater than everything else I've tried so far! Nothing has had as many options to learn as RJ did. I love how interactive it is, and that we can access the forum if we have a question. :)
I wouldn't recommend this program. It don't live up to what it promises to provide. If you're a student in college or interested in taking something to test out of ASL 1 and 2, don't expect this to provide that ability. There are much better programs out there, some of which have more to offer for free.

Hi Ramon - As of 2015 Rocket Sign Language has been fully updated. It now has over 2,500 videos of different signs!
It is a completely amazing audio course !!!! i was searching for years for a course like that !!!! it is very easy to be used and the interactive audio is very good ...... it make me feel that i really can do it . taking a course in new language is very enjoyable for me as well . but this one exactly is different . listening is very important in new languages and it is more important than writing especially in the language like german . thank you so much !!!!
Because the course is so portable, I can take it with me wherever I go and review it several times each day. Besides working on it at my desktop, I can listen to it on my tablet or on my player and listen to it while jogging, riding in the car, or even while taking a nap. Sure beats sitting in a classroom!
I have just finished my Free Trial. During this period, I also tried several other competitor free trials, and used all of the comparing the similarities and differences.
*Rosetta Stone was easily dismissed as I did not think they did well with phrase translations, but only focused on the single word.
* There were a couple others, that were just too expensive, so that was an easy "No".
* Germanpod101 was very similar to RocketGerman, but did not have the progress dashboard, and quite frankly, they had more unnecessary humor and comments in some of their dialogs that were not relative to the language learning.
* Rocket German was more geared to the learner. They keep encouraging routine practice, and the dashboard monitors your progress. Breaking down words into exact pronunciation has really helped me, and I only had the free trial !!!
In summary, Rocket German, in my opinion was the best language course for me at the best price. I would definitely recommend to a friend.
Special Thanks to Margaret G. at Rocket German Customer Support for answering all my questions and really REALLY helping me out :-)
Good site. languages aren't my forte, but I'm enjoying learning on this site . Can highly recommend it and its worth taking a bit of time to explore it. so go ahead and have a look for yourself. You'll enjoy it
Product has been pretty good up to now. But I am working on lessons regarding numbers. Rather than focusing on teaching numbers (many of which are new words), numerous other concepts, vocabulary and long sentences are thrown in that distract from the main lesson. If you're going to focus on "there is" (il y a) then make it a separate lesson, and don't throw a bunch of new vocabulary in at the same time. And don't have three different speakers on the same lesson. All very confusing and frustrating.
Rocket languages is extremely easy to navigate around and makes it interesting to learn new things despite there being a lot to learn. rocket languages has a ton of different ways to test your progression through the language, be it quiz's, games and even self recordings to make sure you are pronouncing the words correctly, this is defiantly one of the best learning programs i have came across.
It is really exciting to have a course that you can do at your own convenience, speed, and repetition so you know you are getting it just right. Also, the recording and speaking helps a lot, just to be able to speak.
