We want to give learners a real flavor of what it is to be French. To teach them about customs and traditions. To enable them to think a bit like a French person. We figured out that if a learner knows a bit about the culture, they will be able to learn the language that much quicker. Plus, it makes the whole learning experience that much more interesting!
These lessons will help you to understand French in an easy, fun way. We used common, useful words and phrases and place them in realistic everyday situations. We have made each lesson really easy for you by breaking them down into small parts, so you can practice each bit individually and then put it all back together again. Not only do you get to know the building blocks, you get a real sense of how the language works as a whole.
Rocket French Premium includes language and culture lessons featuring lots of audio clips, exercises, fun
activities and much more...
The Rocket French Premiumon also help you to build up a memory bank of French words. We want learners to be able to instantly read a bunch of common words so that when they see them in a sentence they would know what was being talked about.MegaVocab is what we came up with. MegaVocab is a word-building memory game that will help you remember all the words that you might need to have a good time in a French speaking country.
We also have a personalized MegaVocab Creator. This feature lets you develop your own, tailored, vocab list so that you can focus on exactly what you need.
MegaAudio: While MegaVocab teaches you to be able to read French words, the MegaAudio learning game is for getting you to understand the sound of a whole bunch of French words. I want you to be able to enjoy your French vacation, your restaurant visit, meeting that special someone, confident in the knowledge that you’ll know exactly what’s being said to you.
MegaVerbs: MegaVerbs has been specifically designed for students and for people with an intermediate to advanced level of French so that they can get to grips with the questions that are always asked in tests and exams. It’s also for those that really enjoy the challenge of the technical aspects of language

How hard is the French language to learn?
I'm moving to Canada and plan to live in Ottawa, but I would like to learn French because I want to be able to speak with people from Quebec. Would it be hard for a person who knows Finnish and English to learn French? French spelling looks hard to me and the sounds are strange.
Best Answer
At least you have the open mind and respect for Francophone Canadians that most anglophones here don't and I have been to Ottawa many times ppl there don't bother to speak French to you with some rare exception in large dept stores.
French is indeed a latin language and for that reason will be reasonably difficult to learn. It does not resemble Finnish at all, nor any germanic language.
give it a try nobody is asking you to speak perfectly. Because so many anglos in the Ottawa region are very reluctant to speak french that will be seen as a BIG bonus for prospective employer in other words greatly help you in finding a job.
Also to work for the City of Ottawa or the Federal Government of Canada knowing French is also a big asset.

The Secret to Learning French Language
By Robin Tonge
Learning a new language is difficult for most people. And the older you are the less motivated you are and the less easy it seems to be. Living in a world where everyone is busy with work we want to get results fast and want to learn to talk a new language fast. However, learning a new language is never easy and will take a lot of time and concentrated effort.
Firstly, to learn a new language you have to learn the alphabet system of the language. For languages like Chinese, Japanese or Korean the alphabet is very different. Therefore, these languages are considered to be more time-consuming to learn especially reading and writing the language. Second, you have to learn the phonetics of the language. The way consonants and vowels are sounded out is different in every language. Thirdly, you need to learn as many words as you can which may take a while as you will need to know about 1000 words vocabulary to begin to be fluent in the language.
Next, you have to learn word properties as the properties will tell you how to construct a meaningful sentence. The easiest way to learn and understand how to construct sentences is by listening to a native speaker of that language. It is recommended to not learn grammatical rules when first learning a language because you will be de-motivated by the apparent illogical structure of the language. Every language has rules of grammar that you will just have to learn at some point but don't worry yourself about that in the beginning.
When you learned to speak as a child you did not learn the rules of grammar of the language first. You learned single syllable words such as cat, dog, big, small, hot, cold etc. Then you graduated to two syllable words eg mother, father, brother, sister etc. You would have learned some simple verbs eg talk, walk, run, eat, sleep etc. You learned some adjectives that enabled you to be more expressive. Finally you started to construct simple sentences eg I am cold, you are sleeping, I like small dogs etc. You would not have learned to read and write until you could fluently speak English. And you certainly did not learn grammar until you could read and write English basics and attended school.
Why is it that most foreign language courses commence with teaching the complex rules of grammar for a language. This is an unnatural way to learn a language. Not to mention students become bored very quickly and their rate of learning slows down.
Motivation is the key element to learning any language. And a teaching method that keeps students motivated through the early stages of learning a new language is the key to successfully transitioning the student to advanced language study and fluency. Once a student becomes fluent learning more of the language is much easier and fun. The student develops a high level of confidence with the language and actually enjoys communicating with native language speakers
The French language software approach is to copy the way we learned to speak English as a child. The absolute best way to learn French is by listening and repeating what others are saying. This is what you did as a child. You copied your parents and family. Even though you did not really understand everything initially that did not matter. The child just copies and learns.
Software that makes use of interactive learning activities and entertaining word games results in greater memory retention and a faster learning outcome. Fun learning games always help students to stay motivated during the learning process resulting in a faster, easier and more productive learning experience.
