Rocket German Reviews

The Rocket Language method is excellent, effective, productive - demanding, and worth the effort required.
The endlessly repeatable audio challenges are especially valuable. Genuine fluency requires fluent hearing as well as speech - the audio features of this course, alone, are worth the price of admission.

This site is by far most straight forward and easy method for language learning. I'm really impressed with the design, very sleek. Best part is audio courses keep you talking and thinking in language you are learning.

I've been around the language learning game for about 10 years now. (Programs, methods, etc. I have 1000s of books in 20+ languages) At first, as with any program, I'm skeptical. Rocket Languages is fantastic, to say the least. It gets you speaking, using real world situations and phrases that bring your conversational fluency up very quickly. The mobile app is awesome, I use it at work and at the airport/ while traveling. I wish there was some sort of package deal because I see myself buying them all. I recommend this program to all my friends that want to learn a language.

Really the only complaint I have is that the 3 levels isn't offered in every language, and that I live behind my computer because this stuff is addicting :D

Rocket, if you see this is there a package deal for everything? :D

I like that we have audio and visual learning tasks. Doing both really helps with the learning process. The audio instructors are very engaging and enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend Rocket Language to anybody that is wanting to travel abroad and feel comfortable with the language.

i really love it it is easy and affective way to learn language but i really wish to be more free if i have more and more money it is sure that no problems to me but these days it is so dificult but i think it deserve it

I would recommend Rocket Languages if you are a complete beginner. But it is frustrating for someone, who has basic familiarity with the language and is looking to improve. The program has too many elements, like the speaking, writing, quizzing, etc. And the conversations are so basic and repetitive that it is annoying. I wish there was a version that offered a refresher approach or a reading based approach for those who know the basics and want to expand their vocabulary and brush on grammar. Alternatively, it would be nice if one didn't have to purchase the basic levels in order to get the more advanced sessions. Rocket language dialogs seem to focus more on tourist activities. Also, I think it would be useful to have all of the presenters speaking with the proper accent. In the German course, only one of the presenters is a native speaker. Finally, the speech recognition is slow and often spotty - and that's on the desktop version. In the iOS app, many of the quiz/practice functions don't work at all. I purchased the program because it was on sale, but I should have just relied on reading German books and media and on watching movies in German.

I'm just finishing the Rocket German Premium (Level 1) course and have found it to be tremendously helpful, and the most motivating foreign language course I've taken.

The most powerful thing about the Rocket German Interactive Audio Courses is that the course focuses on a conversation based narrative and sentences rather than focusing on memorizing words and grammar rules. After three years of High School German, when I went to Germany I found i was unable to construct or even understand sentences in real time and felt hopelessly stupid.

Maybe it is also a critical mass of all the previous study, I've been doing over the last eight months but in the past 26 days of Level 1 Premium sentence work, I seem to have learned enough about the structure of simple sentences that I can understand them and even put together all the conjugations and declensions, dative, and accusative case endings in real time which seems to be producing a positive feedback loop to create a lot of motivation. So I've been able to study at a fairly intensive rate. For example I've eared 82,17 points and nearly finished level 1 in the last 25 days.

I've tried other courses, learning some German but always struggled. This course has staying in my memory from the very first lesson and I'm very pleasantly surprised. It can be a little intense covering a lesson in full - I have chronic fatigue - but it's worth the hard work. Even with my problems, I'm learning solidly. The case system always broke me because it's taught too rigidly. I'm already using prepositions correctly when talking to myself around the home because Rocket appears to be teaching me to hear what's right or not. Glad I didn't quit and signed up to Rocket instead.

One of the best sites I have come across, wherein I can learn a basic language at my leisure time free of cost. Its audio lessons makes it more easier to learn pronunciation of the language. Its PDF format lesson that can be printed or saved to retrieve it latter for learning. Thanks.

I began studying German 2 years ago, going from the online course Linq to Michel Thomas' CDs (Total and Perfect courses), and now have come to Rocket German. These other courses offered a very good foundation, but I now look forward to quickly acquiring more of a spontaneous, conversational facility with the language. I'd strongly recommend Rocket courses to others.
