Rocket German Reviews

So far, I am having so much fun learning German! The hosts are entertaining and I have already started speaking with my mother who is a native German speaker. I am learning to help her keep up with her German as it has slipped since my Oma passed over ten years ago. My only regret is not doing this sooner! The lessons are informative and practical. I look forward to my lessons. German will not be the only language I will learn using Rocket Languages.

This product is amazing! I needed to learn German to begin my PhD, and having to already master several dead languages, I was worried about starting a modern language. Rocket Languages' German program not only helped me begin my PhD journey, but they are making the experience fun and so simple. I am not just spending hours a day memorizing vocabulary, but I am interacting with German speakers and improving my pronunciation and spelling. From day one, I was able to speak and understand German, even if it was only a basic conversation. I have never studied a language where I could communicate after the first lesson. If you are considering buying this product, please do so, it is wonderful and worth every penny.

Great program, very interactive. Makes you stay on track, slowly teaching you the needed words, phrases, sentences... Very good speech recognition software, highly effective. If I take up more languages, I will definitely use Rocket Languages!

I love Rocket Languages because it takes you step by step in learning any language even though you don't speak it at all. The teachers explain everything so clearly that I didn't need any support in the forums (which is a very helpful resource). I recommend Rocket Languages without any doubt.

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.

Love the Rocket Language course, I have tried many language courses and this one by far is the best. Very interactive, well structured and is good value for money. Another advantage is the access to the free trial. Definitely worth a try!

I studied some German in high school 55 years ago. I’ve tried several other well known and well advertised and more expensive language courses in the past, but I am most impressed with Rocket for it’s pacing and through attention to understanding the context in real life situations. I’ve been using it for a week and look forward to each days lesson.

Rocket Languages uses a variety of approaches, including listening, speaking, reading and writing - and above all, REPETITION, which really helps me learn. I also like the combination of "learn by hearing" and specific grammar instruction. The only thing that would make it better is if it had videos.

Rocket German covers all the bases. It provides cultural tips, tips on grammar and pronunciation. What I especially love about Rocket German is the ability to practice multiple aspects of language-learning: listening to (and imitating) native speakers, using flashcards to check memory of words/phrases, writing words/phrases from dictation by native speakers, interacting in dialogue. In short, it is a one-stop language-learning experience. After an introductory lesson, there are so many tools provided for reinforcing that material that it is virtually impossible to leave a lesson without having that material firmly embedded in memory.

Overall, I've enjoyed the Rocket German product. It would be very helpful to have a set of audio control buttons (play/pause/rewind 3 sec) positioned directly beneath the Quick Settings on the left margin of the web page for the interactive lessons. When I listen to the interactive lessons on a computer, I constantly have to scroll from the line in the lesson back to the top of the page to pause/replay a word/phrase. Similarly, a rewind 3 sec button on the phone version is desperately needed. Lastly, I would like to see a video option for the Language & Culture Lessons. Reading through all of this is a little dry. I want to watch/hear an instructor saying these words/phrases. Thanks
