I recently was introduced to your programme from my local library. It has been both informative and helpful! I really enjoy the useful vocabulary and informative cultural tips. It is very very very very very very very very cool!!!!
It is a pretty good app compared with all the apps I have tried. Would like to purchase it, but there are a few concerns personally. Hope alphabet table will included in future. overall, I rate it a good language learning application. Will consider to get it.
Comprehensive lessons, each leaving you feeling accomplished and confident. Every lesson section can take 45 minute to listen to and complete. As such, each Rocket German level has easily hundreds of hours of content. Definitely worth the money if you're serious about learning a language.
I wish there were a chart showing a picture or a drawing of badges. I get new badges fairly often. It is announce only once. I really have no idea what my status is!
It is not clear how thge stars work. Are whit stars good?
But I still enjoy the course. I am "hooked" on it!

Hi Edward, thank you for your review, it's great to hear that you're hooked on Rocket German. It's awesome that you are gaining so many badges and stars so quickly to see what these mean you can follow this link to the FAQ page and find information under the tab "How do badges work?" https://www.rocketlanguages.com/help. Happy learning!
The real life situations make learning fun! It would make everyday situations easy to comprehend. The interactive audio makes it easy to grasp the meaning of words and sentences. The audio playback is good for review. Building on the sentences a phrase at a time makes it all come together. Hopefully when presented with questions in real life, this will be helpful to use all the words and phrases I've learned.
It is a horribly frustrating program. I have yet been able to download it. Only two lessons in two modules have been downloaded. To be fair one of the chat support people told me to call and she would guide me through the download, but I am tired of playing with the program and haven't called. After the download to the computer I have to download them to CDs. Oh help!
This website certainly has improved in the past year. The 4 different types of tests really keep you thinking. I never would have pushed myself to try and write in French! I love listening to Paul and Claire and miss them in the premium plus version
great way to learn any language, easy with correct process.

We are glad to hear that you are enjoying learning Spanish with us. Best of luck with the rest of the course!
This could easily be a 5 star program, but there are enough poor choices by the designers that make it less valueable or frustrating to use that I am being generous to give this 3 stars. The bottom line is that it works, and it did better for me than when I used Rosetta Stone to learn another language.
I have been using this program for 10 months and have had 3 visits to Germany during this time related to work. This is where I think the program isn't good:
1. This program stresses in the informal ways of addressing people. Germans, especially in business, use the formal case (Sie not Du).
2. The program doesn't teach any language rules, rather just provides example after example such as how to conjugate a verb.
3. THe most frustrating part is that the program tries to inculcate easy words (Ja, Nein), and sometimes not useful words like Wunderbar constantly, but doesn't stress words that are important to know such as to want, to like, to take, to need. If someone can't get Ja and Nein correct after the third lesson, then they need to quit.
4.
I appreciate the explanations of subtle points and progression of exercises (Hear it/Say it, write it, learn it, etc) to develop and expand my memory and understanding.
