Rocket German Reviews

Really like the German lessons. I have tried some other software - Rocket German is much better. I especially like that the lesson plan also covers grammar and culture. It's not just learning by repetition. I also like the way it encourages learning by multiple ways. The lessons are well structured and provide great sets of practice exercises. I have found it works better having a dedicated headset.

I have regularly been to Germany over the last couple years for business and this year I decided I wanted to learn to speak German.
Not only for my trips to Germany, but because I work for a German company and have to interact with German colleagues frequently.

I tried a few free websites and was very disappointed, but then I stumbled on RocketLanguages and tried the free trial I was hooked, I loved the fact I could write the language and see the words spoken, that makes it so much easier to remember and pronounce the words. I purchased the first Module, and although I thought the price seemed high, I would do it again.

My German colleagues have commented on how quickly I have seemed to grasp and learn the language, and other English speaking colleagues who have been enrolled with a weekly company sponsored program (with terms and conditions) have also seen that my progress has exceeded theirs especially when it comes to actually speaking the language. I can only thank RocketLanguages, not that it didn't take effort and discipline from me to continue, but RocketLanguages just made it easy and fun!

The best part of the course is that it works because of how addictive I am to it. I love working everyday using Rocket Language, so my skills are improving exponentially. Absolutely love this program, not even one regret of the purchase I made.

I am having a lot of fun with Rocket German, and next, Rocket Spanish. This program is pretty great. I hope lots of people make use of it. Other programs I have tried did not compare.

Rocket German is a great course with improvements all the time being made to make it a greater experience and fun way to learn. I'm now speaking more sentences than ever. What I like is also the dedication of the Rocket Team with their willingness to help when you have problems. The forum is a great place to be when you are stuck on something. You can almost get an answer straight away because their are people like Byron and others very quick to help. Bless Them! You can buy all the expensive software if you want but you don't get the personal touch like you do with Rocket Languages. I recommend Rocket languages to anyone that reads this review. It's like having your own tutor without taking classes.

I wish there was a way to make the pronunciations slower. To enunciate each syllable or sound. The narrator goes so fast sometimes I am unable to pick up the sounds.
Other than that, for me this works great. Now just figure out a way to make me find the time to use it.

Rocket Languages makes learning a new language fun & interesting. After trying several other online language courses and feeling disappointed & frustrated I have finally found a company that knows how to teach.

I love learning new languages! I can speak conversational German and, to a lesser extent, Croatian. Recently I was inspired to learn Spanish by a friend and so I spent hours and hours poring over reviews of the various online language learning options. There were so many options out there but nothing really felt like it was "the one" until I came across Rocket Spanish! Now, some people are happy with simply learning how to speak a language by only learning phrases but I'm one of those who really need to understand the grammar behind the phrases and sentences. So, when I came across Rocket Spanish, I was extremely excited to see that, not only will I get to learn to speak the language like a native speaker and in a way that suits my learning style (Visual) but also that the course is packed with quality lessons in grammar. What really impresses me about Rocket Spanish is the emphasis on repeating words or phrases out loud (not just in my head). This is such an important factor in accelerating one's fluency in a non-native language. After all, if you want to speak a new language, then you really do need to speak it out loud! I only wish that I had come across Rocket when I learned German and Croatian! It would most certainly have saved me countless hours and dollars wasted on ineffective methods.

Great course - it gets you speaking from day one. The interactive approach is very useful.
Only complaint is the Language and culture section which is very dry as it's mostly lists and lists of vocab/sample sentences.

I've had Rocket German German since 2009, and think it's excellent.

Being able to sit on the train, listening to the German *and* English being spoken, often with interesting explanations, it's been really useful.

Excellent value for money, and I have recommended it to other ex-pats who, like me, have moved to Zurich.
