Want to learn French for next to nothing, from the comfort of your own computer, anywhere, anytime?
Then Rocket French might just be for you. It’s conducted by a native French speaker, sand delivered over the Web, with fantastic results.
So what makes it so great? Allons-y and let’s find out!
LE BON
Really, the Rocket series of language products gives you your money’s worth. I mean, only $49.95? That’s about 1/6 the price of Rosetta Stone! E-books, interactive audio courses and games, and lots of bonus material. How can you go wrong?
Additionally, if you are just beginning to learn French, this is definitely the right course. It’s much more friendly towards beginners than other courses I’ve used.
I truly enjoyed the bonuses, which include:
* 45 two hour Lessons taking me from beginner through to advanced, with over 3,000 unique audio tracks built in,
* A comprehensive Learning Guide to help me along the way,
* The helpful MegaFrench series of games
* The weekly Members Only Newsletter series full of audio conversations and exercises. It’s quite good, and useful for staying on your toes rather than forgetting everything you learn–or don’t bother to learn!
* All of the audio tracks in the lessons as MP3 files for my MP3 player
LE MAL
Not quite as comprehensive as Rosetta Stone: French, and not suggested for those wanting to learn to use French in business. But, it will get you through to the very advanced stages and basic fluency.
LE LIBRE
I highly recommend you try out the free e-newsletter course. It’s an excellent introduction to basic French, and will give you a free preview of what the full course is really like.
LE RECOMMENDATION
Learning French, for less than dinner for 2 at a nice French restaurant. Who wouldn’t want that? If you really want to learn French, like a pro and for cheaper than a tour of Paris, you’d be foolish not to try out Rocket French.
