Rocket French | Learn French Audio and Software
Saturday, February 9th, 2008
Bonjour!
Rocket French is produced in my homeland New Zealand by Rocket languages.
What do I get in this system? (It has various ‘components’)
- 31 interactive audio lessons (25 minutes each, 14 hours total)
- 31 illustrated grammar lessons (follows the Audio Course)
- “MegaVocab” Rocket French Word Building Game
- “MegaAudio” language software game
- “MegaVerbs” Grammar Software Game
- Your own French teacher, “on call” 24 hours a day.
My impressions:
Like the other Rocket language products, I took the program for a test drive starting with the audio component during the day while in transit to work and in my lunch breaks. In the evenings I focused on the Rocket French PC games.
This program is very thorough. There are similar products offering an audio program (pimsleur method), PC software (Rosetta Stone). Rocket has managed to combine both to give a very refreshing, easy fun and up to date system. The audio is well structured and puts the listener in many realistic situations. The software is useful for vocab and grammar. Included is access to a member forum.
Rosetta Stone is currently:$209
Pimsleur French is currently:$249
Rocket French is currently:$99
