Rocket French Review

Rocket French is an online course, readily downloadable and interactive, I’ve had the chance to review their product and here are my observations;

The Rocket French course comes from an experienced team of linguists, with many language courses under their belts, I believe that their approach is more compatible with the intricacies involved with learning French.
Here are some of the major pros;

- There is a free, six day course offered. Which you should try by the way, no matter if you buy or not.

- The main course consists of 31 interactive audio segments, with a convenient length of about 20 minutes each.

- Real French persons are teaching, no accent (I should know!)

- There are 45 grammar lessons, this is great, for example, you’ll find that for every rule in French, there’s an exception, makes it fun!

- There are games included. It doesn’t have to be all work! Mega Audio, Mega Vocab and MegaVerbs

- Although this course starts at the very beginner level, components like MegaVerbs are used for students or more advanced level learners. Can be particularly useful for school, if you’re a parent and you child is struggling in French, look it up.

- Online support is available, if you have questions, they’ll by answered.

- There is a 100%, no question asked, 60 days, for real, money back warranty. That’s hard to beat and should remove any roadblock to you learning French.

And yes, there are some cons as well; For example, I found their introductory lessons to be at the very, very “beginner level”. While it may be a good recap if you re-learning but I’d skip them if you were more advanced.

Also, there is a huge difference in price between the CD version, at $299, plus shipping, and the instant downloadable version which really surprised me at only $99. I don’t know if you’ve seen the prices of other courses out there, but I was pleased by the quality/price ratio.

All and all, great upside potential for very little risk. There are many levels of benefits that come with learning a new language in terms of personal, career and social development. It’s a skill that’ll always be there; ready to come back, even if not used for a while. It will add to you as a person.
