Learn German Online With Rocket German

I have tried many language courses through out the years and have finally found one that gets me sitting down in front of my computer every night because I know I've got a test to take every Sunday night. The badge/ribbon award that flashes up on the screen gives me a little boost.

Love it. It's fun and so convenient. I carry my IPad with me everywhere so I have my Rocket German to study anytime I have extra time. I am also studying German grammar and vocabulary books, but Rocket German is by far the most fun and most effective.

Having a knowledge of German - my father came from Germany - and having tried various commercial programs for bringing my fading German back to life, I find that Rocket German Premium has served me better than any of the others, including the one commonly used by the U.S. State Department.

The approach taken by the developers of Rocket German Premium is, in the current cliche, "user friendly."

In fact after trying only one of the free lessons, I bought the entire package - well worth the cost. I highly recommend it. By the way, I'm a retired professor of linguistics. I'm nearly 80 years of age, but still able to tell the good from the bad with respect to language education! Rocket German Premium is good!

As a youngster could only speak German. Had to learn English in grade school. Now 60 some years later can hardly recall any German. Am enjoying reliving my youth by going back to my roots and relearning German.
Danke, Rocket Languages

The course is imaginative, entertaining and comprehensive... it is challenging and enjoyable at the same time... a wonderfully motivating combination... I did the first level of Pimsleur... it is excellent in so far as it goes... but focuses totally on spoken German without any grammar... it also lacks the speak and listen to recordings of your pronunciation which is an excellent feature... the course has rejuvenated my motivation to work on German... and the price is the best...

By the time I finish each lesson, the words are in my head... and are still there for future reviews. I love the variety of ways to learn - audio, written, games, etc. Looking forward to digging in deeper to the grammar.

I love this system and am using it for my third language. I have used many other methods, including Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur and a two week language course in Italy and found the Rocket programs superior in that the grammar is part of the method, which is essential in becoming fluent in a language. The conversations are believable and typical of what one might need to say while traveling. They also provide a basis for formulating independent ideas for conversing while traveling. Bravo ... Sehr Gut ... Gracias !!!

Much better than both Fluenz and Rosetta Stone, and that's based solely on content and methodology. The value, too, is superior. Once you purchase Rocket Language, they offer you immediate discounts for both the premium plus and platinum editions. Great material. Great value.

A fun and easy way to learn. Several years ago I started with Rocket German before a trip to Germany. Although I didn't progress very far with the lessons, what I did learn really helped with important things like ordering food, booking a room, getting directions, etc. Now I'm planning a trip to Austria and am planning to go through all 3 levels of lessons before my trip in September 2013. Its a really fun way to learn.

Rocket Languages is simply the only way to go for travel to a foreign language speaking country! I bought both the French and the German programs. The ability to download the MP3 files onto an ipod and listen 24/7 with headphones over and over is very helpful to get the pronunciation right. I have worked much harder thus far on the French and am happy to relay my experiences from a trip to France. I found that I could speak some basic French reasonably fluently without much of an English accent, but I could not understand spoken French at the same level. The reaction from local people in Paris was exceptional - some wanted to try and switch to English so that they could practice it! One person was an Elvis impersonator and he wanted my husband and me to critique his (English) singing! And everyone helped and responded VERY positively. It makes taking a trip to a foreign country SO MUCH FUN!

Ich lerne gerne. The lessons are fun and Nik and Paul are funny. They really try to make the experience hands-on (so to speak) and enjoyable. I can hardly wait to complete a lesson so I move on to the next one!

Before subscribing to Rocket German, I had tried for years, off and on, to learn German. I read primers, readers, phrase books, listened to CDs and even took the first two levels of Rosette Stone, but I never really got much past the basics. I could read some, but couldn't understand it when it was spoken, and had difficulty communicating in anything except very simple phrases.

Now, with Rocket, I can feel myself finally rising above that basic plateau. I suppose one could say it was my fault for not working harder and that would be true. I didn't work hard enough. I realize now I am working much harder than previously, but the thing is, with Rocket it doesn't seem like such hard work.

The thing about Rocket, I think, that makes it so effective is that it is structured in a multi dimensional way that keeps your interest and provides the tools and exercises to accommodate various learning styles. Some times my brain hurts and I have to take a break for a day (just like working out at the gym), but I never get bored. Besides the lessons, I find that I enjoy the forum. That actually surprised me because I'm not a social networking sort of guy. However, it is a good way to ask specific questions of a language expert, share problems with other students, and meet some interesting people. I think Rocket is a great course and a great buy.

I was calling to let you guys know that my son who is nine years old desperately wanted to learn German, and so we ordered the Rocket German, and he is flying along with this language program, and it's an excellent program. I would recommend it to anyone, especially the kids.

He has uploaded it into his Media Player, and he listens to it constantly, all of the lessons, and he is speaking German, and I think we ordered this program about two weeks ago, and he is doing an excellent job. So, thanks a lot guys.

Hi my name is Kelly Scali. I just have to say that I am not the type of person to believe in something so much that I would do a testimonial. You always think that these things are a fake anyway.

But not in this case, I would absolutely recommend Rocket German Premium to anyone who wants to learn a language. I have tried almost everything to learn German with no real success.

I took four semesters in college, adult classes, listened to CD's, played computer programs, had books galore and just couldn't master it, not even with German speaking mom or fiancée. I just couldn't grasp it and I was so afraid to sound ridiculous until Rocket German Premium.

Just to give you a little background, my mom was born in Germany and left when she was 21 to marry my American soldier father, so when she came to the U.S. she was so set on learning English that she didn't even want to teach my sister and I German, even though we went there regularly as kids.

As an adult I traveled there every year for the past six years and relied on everyone to speak English, which they did of course, but that didn't help. In fact I met my fiancée there, so I realize I have to learn this language, even though he is fluent in English. Too embarrassed to allow him to teach me, to his frustration, I thought I would try one more thing. While searching I saw the Rocket German Premium link. After reading about it and then trying the 6 free lessons, I was completely hooked. I knew I couldn't go wrong and the price was really reasonable.

So after just two weeks all I can say is its Awesome! I'm speaking and comprehending everything they teach, even my mom and my fiancée are amazed and impressed on my progress, but mostly over the fact that I will speak to them now. My fiancée is so happy because now I allow him to actually take me further with the language, and learn new things. And trust me, this is no easy task.

I know this sounds too good to be true, but believe me, it is. It's so much fun, and very interactive, and you actually feel like you are having a real conversation, which you are, with Nik and Paul the presenters..

I always felt that I wasn't learning real life language skills, and could never put it together. This course gives me exactly what I need. They teach real life situations, and don't bombard you with the grammar rules like classes and books do, but you still learn this stuff too. I do admit that having a bit of knowledge on some of the vocab and grammar helps, but it's not at all necessary with this course. It actually takes you step-by-step and you really do learn.

Every morning while I am getting ready for work, I start the lessons. I play the same lesson for two days before I moving to the next, and I always repeat the last lesson first to refresh my memory and keep the old stuff alive in my head. After every series I listen to the whole lesson one more time before moving onto the next level. I even print out the lessons and carry with me to study wherever I am. I know if I don't keep it up, I won't be able to keep it in.

My fear and embarrassment is what set me back and obviously hindered me from retaining anything. I honestly cannot believe I lost my fear of speaking 100%. I never in a million years thought it would be possible. I actually started to think I just didn't have the talent to learn another language but this course made me realize that I just wasn't learning it the correct way. The biggest benefit for me is to be able to get over the fear because I have Nik and Paul to talk to, so to speak.

I don't want anyone to take my word for it, they have to try it for themselves. You will, without a doubt, feel the same way, I guarantee it, and if you are still unsure, I'd be more than happy to give my email address to anyone that wants to hear it from me firsthand.

So, anyway, I just wanted to say "Thanks Rocket German Premium, this is really, really a great course.

Kept interesting and is thorough. There was a problem at purchasing (my fault) which was resolved cheerfully and quickly. I am already glad for choosing Rocket and recommend to anyone.................

Rocket German is AWESOME! (I have always wanted to learn German, as my grandmother was German.) The lessons and online resources are incredible!!! I am now easily learning German on a professional basis! I truly believe that this is definitely the best money that I ever spent on myself!!!

Great language learning tool. The fact that they have a native speaker teaching us in audio lessons really helped with my pronunciation. New vocabulary is learned with new words woven into each lesson. Rocket German ist ein gutes Werkzeug!

Rocket German is one of the best investments I have made! The program has prepared me well for living in Germany. My friends always comment about how natural my pronunciation sounds. I say it is thanks to Paul and Nik, and Rocket German!

I have now completed the 2nd Level from the Rocket German courses and have been really happy with my progress.The audio courses are interesting and they really help with my progress. I have now got the 3rd level and will be getting started straight away!

After letting my learning slide for a few months I have returned to the site. I really like the many new features. I find the experience very worthwhile and am now hoping to get the most out of the course.

This is a great learning source for a ton of languages! This allows you to learn great! Paul and Nik always review what you have learned so you remember. My Level is a great way to test your skills! Let's blast off into language learning!

Rocket German Premium has helped me in my general interactions with foreign tourists and visitors from around the world as well as locals who also speak the German language. Not to mention that when I take that European holiday I'll feel more at easy talking the lingo.

I work shift work and attending classroom tutorials just wasn't convenient for me and a little bit too time consuming. By learning through Rocket German Premium I was able to get through the material when I wanted to and at a pace and learning style that was comfortable for me.

If you have friends or family that want to learn a foreign language, then I would recommend that they get in on the act and you learn it together, this will only enhance your Rocket Language learning experience and make it so much easier for you and your study buddy or buddies to pick up on the German way of learning.

When you purchase the Rocket German Premium course you can expect an ease of learning that you dictate and doesn't dictate to you as well as a world opening up to you. Auf Wiedersehen and have fun.

The Rocket German gives me an excellent opportunity of learning German on a very good method.
The point of I'm not being an native English speaker is very good too. I can improve my English skills while I'm studying the Deutsch.

I moved to Germany with my (then) boyfriend, to learn more about him and his family/home/friends. I had no German at all and had to learn everything from scratch. I completed an intensive course through the local Volkshochschule and started working at the DeutschePost with my limited language. We stayed for 6 months and I wanted to learn more, but had limited opportunity or know how, trying Berlitz (too condescending and not real, everyday language) and another course, also I bought grammar and verb books. Very patchy results. Then I stumbled upon Rocket German and tried the free trial, and signed up immediately after receiving only 3 of the free lessons. I was impressed with the immediate results and the ability to be flexible with the language. Over a period of 6 months I did the first level at Premium, and learnt enough German to speak with German customers in my role as a dive master in Thailand. My partner and I returned to Germany and were married there (keine Uebersetzung!) - I made a speech in German at my wedding and impressed everyone with how much my language had improved and deepened (und ich sagte "ja, ich will" and signed my life away! :) in German. ) What I found especially useful with the way the course was taught though, is that it taught me how to teach myself; how to build on what I knew and how to surmise meaning and word building from what I had already learnt, rather than learning useless set phrases in falsified accents that nobody uses. I then later lived in Germany again for another year while waiting for my husband's visa, and my language improved from usage rather than study. Now we are back in Australia and I've started on the courses again as I can recognise how much they will help me to retain what I already have and also continue to improve without the daily saturation that I had over there. I want to be bilingual so our children can have both languages and also to stay in contact with the wonderful friends and now family that I have over there. Germany is my second home and I want to have it in my tongue, as well as my heart. Rocket German reaches into real language learning where it really matters - being able to talk to native speakers and to have a relevant use of language that matters to you.

I had spent a year learning German from a book which suited me as a visual learner. BUT, the sounds and ability to speak everything I was learning seemed impossible! Rocket German has been amazing and I am able to move the words from my mind and into my mouth and so speak everything I have learnt in the course so far. The book has become neglected as I feel that I am improving much more with Rocket

Really the Rocket Languages courses are very very useful and have the best way to learn, I got a lot of words and statements from the first time I used it. I am sure the Rocket Languages are best way anyone needs to learn any language especially German ... thanks a lot Mr. Paul

I recommend the Rocket German Premium Course to everyone who wants to learn German in a fast and effective way, because I was speaking German from the very first lesson on. Yes, from the first introduction lesson on all and everyone can speak German and learn a lot as long as you advance to the next lesson.

When I was a little kid I used to travel with my family to the beautiful and lovely country of Switzerland and since then I always wanted to learn German and be able to communicate to those lovely and friendly people.

So when I was older I set myself the goal to learn German, no matter how hard it would be. I bought books, courses and I never got to say a word in German, very frustrating. A couple of months ago I was looking on the Internet for something else that would help me to learn German at last. I found the Rocket German Premium Course and I said why not? It looked good and I bought it. I can say this is the best money ever spent. If you wish to learn German like I did, buy the Rocket German Premium Course, you won't regret it, believe me.

With the books I bought before as well with some other course I learned a lot of grammar and vocabulary, grammar and vocabulary and that's it, but grammar and vocabulary are not very useful when you travel to a German speaking country or you want to talk to someone in German if you don't know HOW TO SPEAK. In this course I'm learning a lot- not just grammar and vocabulary but most importantly to SPEAK it.

I'm a Spanish speaker and I lived in the U.S.A. for a while, so I can also speak English. German is the language left for me to learn and I know that it is going to be very useful here at my work, since I'll be able to speak the most important languages here in Europe. I'll soon travel to Switzerland and Austria, and I'm really excited to use the little German I've learned so far.

Everyone who purchases Rocket German Premium will gain more than what they've spent. They will learn one of the most important languages in the world, and what is very important, having a lot of fun. The course does not only consist of audio lessons and written material, but has very fun games and more that will enrich the learning experience. Thanks a lot for this opportunity.

Hi, my name is Casey, and I'm from Australia. I've been using Rocket German Premium for just under two weeks now. I started off with the 6 day course, which is a great way to get the feel for Rocket German Premium.

Since I brought Rocket German Premium, I've progressed in learning German a great deal. I find Rocket German Premium fun and I'm motivated to listen and learn, and I get to join in, not just listen, which is great.

The Flashcards are fun and easy to use, actually everything about Rocket German Premium is fun and easy to follow.

It has helped me a lot with hearing German and knowing what is being said to me. I find now when I listen to my favorite German group (band) I can pick words out and understand them. I'm not good with sticking to things, but with Rocket German Premium my mind is always stimulated and I'm never bored.

So here I am nearly two weeks later and mum and I are already having small conversations in German, which is so cool. I would recommend Rocket German Premium, not just because it's fun, easy to follow and the price is great, but because most of all it works.

It had been many years since I had made use of the German I learned at school. I initially had been fairly close to fluent but as I had not used it in years much of the grammar and vocabulary I had learned had been forgotten.

Rocket German Premium rapidly helped me regain all the knowledge I had lost. It is basic enough for beginners but challenging enough for those wanting to re-establish their skills in German.

The interactive games make it more fun than any other online language course I have tried. The Interactive Audio Course was very comprehensive and the dialogue was easy to follow. Thanks to Rocket German Premium I regained the confidence to speak German with my friends and co-workers. I would definitely recommend it to any one wanting to learn German; from beginners to those who have let their German skills lapse.

The series of German courses are very good for me. The words and expressions are very common in the daily life. After learning some free audio lessons, my German level has upgraded a lot since I graduated from the university, with German as my second foreign language. However, the Premium version is a little expensive for me for the currency rate between RMB and US dollar. Maybe when I have enough money, I will consider the Premium German course.

I am really enjoying learning experience by Rocket languages, and I will definitely use it for other languages as well.

Initially it felt that it is not doing much good, but regularly listening to lessons and practicing has really improved my understanding greatly.

I simply love it and I will definitely recommend to my friends as well.
