If you have some questions or want to share some feedback about your course, there’s a good chance a fellow learner has had the same idea! You can take a look at some of the latest posts to see if your question has already been answered, or share your thoughts with the Rocket German teachers and learners by posting a new conversation.
will there be a conversation course book for Rocket German in the future, like there is for Rocket Spanish? Cheers :D
