Hi everyone, I just started Rocket German Level 1 and I’m really excited to begin learning. I plan to study around 2–5 hours per day, and I wanted to ask for some advice about the best way to approach the course. On average, how long should I spend on...

While some focus on amassing points in their learning on this great on-line language site, a few have displayed excellent dedication by consistently working each day toward their learning endeavors. This describes Einbecker, who has reached 2000 days str...

Hello! Are there any plans to update the German level 3 Language and Culture lessons? They seem quite simple in comparison to the audio lessons, often just a bunch of vocabulary, and with very little discussion of grammar. They are also noticeably a step...

How is it possible in German for a party to log 39,000 for a 24 hour period and 412,000 points for the last 30 days?  At best, I can only log about 800-1000 points an hour depending on the nature of the materials.

Hello,   I thought I'd leave some feedback as I'm really struggling with level 2.   I thoroughly enjoyed level 1. I always looked forward to doing it, explanations were clear and the content useful. Most importantly I found I made good progress.   ...

I've been doing Rocket German for a while now and occassionally I notice changes.  One change not too long ago was the change to the writing portion where you hear the German sentence verbally and then you write out the German in the rectangular field in...

Hello, I am new to this platform and have a question about the structure of the course.   The introduction had one audio lesson which was very easy, then the language and culture and survival kit which were much more difficult, possibly too much vocab ...

On what “Module” should one feel comfortable exploring “Play the Part” content?

Hi All Has anyone tried Brainscape flash cards.  Thanks Maxie

The audio and the text in the following sentence do not match   Dieses Auto gehört unserer neuen Nachbarin, nicht unserer alten. This car belongs (to) our new neighbor, not our old (one).   If you record audio saying the text as written it matches...

I have been going through some of the grammar lessons in Level 2 and 3 and have found them lacking. Level one was so intense, but on the other levels they are not great to say the least.  Even in the conversation lessons grammar explanations are just n...

Hi all   Some words are really difficult to pronounce. I can think of several in Spanish, German and Italian to name a few. It would be an amazing feature if one could click on an individual word to just repeat that one. I find that in a whole sentence...

Hi The voices have changed in the Play the Part? Don't think it's my imagination as not all the seller dialogue follows the script Bitte bedienen Sie ​sich ​zu Senf, Mayonnaise oder Ketchup, wenn Sie ​möchten. The “zu” changes to “an int ehconversatio...

Hi.  I'm curious if there's a way to download the vocabulary/phrases from an individual lesson to a .csv file.  I like to use Anki for flashcard practice and generating cards from a .csv file would save time in generating the flashcards.  I've noticed th...

Hello. This is more of a general suggestion for the way Rocket works. First of all, I am extremely pleased with the software (I'm learning German), especially because I have tried other language software and so far Rocket is the best one. This could be b...

HI All Have just started using Seedlang for Spanish and German. No Italian unfortunately. They have French too.  A paid site, but my vocabulary is growing in leaps and bounds. Which is my aim at this stage.  You can sign up and cancel after 2 weeks if n...

Hi All to my neighbours just south of the Canadian border. Wishing you all a very good happy 4th of July Maxie

Have a question for the team. In saving vocabulary some words have a meaning catergory as well as notes. Some words only notes and those don't show up when you scan over them . Mit for example, I have saved it to vacabulary, but there is no meaning cate...

Whilst searching for examples of treiben, this result came up:   17.3 German Literature Drum ist hier, was sie getrieben, abgemalt und aufgeschrieben. For that reason it is here, what they have done, drawn and written down. (All they did this boo...

Hi All When Rocket adds new content or updates their languages, something that I would like to see is a notation whether a verb is regular or irregular. I think this would be very helpful in German, Spanish and Italian.  When I encounter a new verb in a...

Hello I have a question about how it would be best to use the content here on Rocket German.   Should I first go through all the audio lessons and then go through the language and culture (L&C) ones or can I mix them within a module? I know they are nu...

Hallo! Can anyone guide me on how many Modules I need to study throughly in Level I to be eligible to take the CEFR A1 exam? Thank you in advance! :)   

Hi All have just noticed the numbers in minutes on the far right of each lesson. Is that new or has that always been there? I have to assume that it shows you how much time you have used that lesson. A great feature if that is what it is. Sebongela   ...

There are zeros above the ‘play as…’ buttons - what is the purpose? It seems like it would be tallying how many times you have played the conversation, but they always seem to stay at zero. My points are going up, so I suppose it doesn't matter, I just w...

A fault in play the part - Cash or card #2 When I play as the customer I get an error message: "The element has no supported sources".   The cashier part works as expected.

Hallo Leute I have a question about the Survival phrases. Is there any reason why Rocket doesn't categorize the lists in Der Die or das. That way I could concentrate on one section at a time. By the time I have done all of them, I am once again wonderin...

Can you hide the leaderboard score in some ways  and just keep you daily goal. I like to see my goal being met, but really don't like knowing where I stand on the Leaderboard. I believe you are revising this. I am aware that you can hide the whole bar, b...

Hi Jason One day when you have the energy to update the Rocket editions. Would it be possible to balnk out the other sentences under culture and grammar and the sentences after the conversation. Have recently discovered that function in the conversation...

Hi All Have very mixed feelings about the new version. Am going to take a complete break from it all. It is like using the app on my phone and I actually feel like I am going to miss the old version. SO for the time being am going to look at other resou...

Hi Not sure if there is something wrong but was doing the ex."Retail Therapy" and was doing the individual conversations. Then decided I wanted to listen to the conversation by the speakers. Clicked on button on far left. Their conversation was overlaye...

Hi Just realized I can change the settings on the conversations. Not sure if this is a nwe feature, but just love it. Also challenges me to think in terms of just speaking and not just looking at the sentences. Tried it with everything blank and had to ...

I am having difficulties with the new format: I have just finished all of lesson five (5) and want to move on to the next lesson, but there is no facility to do so. I did each section of lesson 5, and clicked on the arrow at the bottom of the page to mo...

From lesson 23.1 Mal abwarten, was es nach der nächsten Vorstandssitzung zu berichten gibt. “Will see what the talk will be after the next manager meeting.” This translation seems a bit off and is unnecessarily free. Wouldn't a more literal transla...

From lesson 22.2 Extra Vocab: Es ist auch gut zu wissen, wie das hier in Deutschland so ist mit medizinischer ​Versorgung - andere Länder, andere Sitten. It is also good to know that here in Germany healthcare is the way it is - other countries, ...

Hi Everyone! We've updated the Interactive Audio Course for Rocket German Level 1! You'll see a "NEW" label next to these lessons. You'll notice that the conversations are similar, but this update provides you with clearer explanations, a whole host of...

Was reading a review about Rocket German. Generally very positive and I agree, a great resource.  They mention that in level 1 there is an annoying grating presenter.  This has changed apparently since 2020. Can't remember when I bought mine, but the pr...

Lesson 2.8 "Plurals" explains some professions can have a special ending when referring to females. I'd like to mention a couple of points that helped me understand when to use a particular suffix for a noun when referring to males and/or females. - Ques...

It drives me a bit crazy in “Play the Part” that anything with numbers just doesn't give me 100% I am more likely to get 40%. Everything else is great. Does anyone else find this a problem? In Italian the same thing happens. Is this something that  we ar...

Hi  Have just purchased the New German series on the special and it is not in my German course. Please help Sebongela

Hi Jason Will German Rocket get travelogues like the Italian lessons. Really enjoy them in the Italian language course A great language program Sebongela  

I'm currently in Level 2 of the German course, & I have a comment that could probably apply to all of the language courses. One has to ask oneself if your goal is to become FLUENT in a new language, or just to become FUNCTIONAL. Nothing revolutionary the...

I have tried to use the “hear it, Say it” acitivity, but it doesn't seem to be working. Likewise in the “know it” activity, there is no feedback after recording the phrase. I have tried logging out and back in again, but again no success. Also tried it ...

I would like to have friends to practice my German.  What is the way to have friends in Rocket German.

During the full lesson track, at about 23 mins in, the subtitles read “Voransgehensweise”, whereas it should be “Vorgehensweise”. (Note - this continues throughout the lesson.)
