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.

I have been enjoying my Rocket Languages courses. They are a good blend of grammar, vocabulary, and speaking. In my opinion unless one tries to speak the language they are trying to learn not much progress will be made. This in my opinion is where Rocket Language courses shine! My goal is to be able to understand and to be able to speak German and French in a year. With Rocket Language courses I think this is possible!

For a long time I just thought Rosetta Stone was the one and only way to go to learn a language. Then one day I started looking around and came across Rocket. I was very impress by how the ways you can learn, I i'm finding it fun to learn German and I look forward to it.

I decided to try Rocket German more or less a week ago, and I absolutely loved it. I tried some other methods (Pages, apps or books) but none of them were really helping me to learn and I was losing my time. Now I'm enjoying the way they teach, the simplicity of the lessons and I just want to continue studying more and more everytime. Let's see how far this goes. I also think that in some time from now, if I felt excellent with the program, I will buy also Rocket French

I am satisfied with the service and I have a suggestion what can be improved further. I like the idea of a comprehensive course available at any time. What I miss is downloadable audios - not the dialogues, but the phrases. The phrases are extremely important and helpful in learning a language. I could easily skip dialogues (I don't), let alone those long 25-minute audios with lots of talk in English (enjoyable but mostly waste of time to be honest, too much of unnecessary chatter). So far I have been sitting in front of my monitor for hours to learn the language, staying focused which is a key to learning. But this is such a luxury which you only enjoy in rare periods during your annual cycle. Most of the time you end up downprioritising the language course due to other urgences. I could use recorded phrases - all of them in a lesson or, even better, those I mark with a star for my own collection which also is a nice service - to listen to them while I have no time to sit down at my desk.

My favorite part of Rocket Language German is the spoken conversation in a dialogue. Hearing a native speaker hold a short conversation and then dissecting the conversation piece by piece is very useful. I am able to hear the flow of conversation and not just learn words or sentences. They may already or may want to include a bit more about the grammar process. I am just getting started but when I was learning Spanish some of the rules did help...even though they can be painful to learn..haha. The flashcards are also helpful and the practice on pronunciation is very useful as well. Lessons move at a reasonable pace and each is somewhat 'bite sized' so that you don't feel overwhelmed.

All in all, a very good course that I highly recommend.

Rocket German may lack the polished visual presentation of other language apps but makes up for this in the way it introduces you to the German language and develops your knowledge and skills. The audio course content is well presented and comprehension and understanding of the course is reinforced after each audio lesson. My personal view is that this is the best app based language app you can buy having tried other well known brands.

The lessons are interesting and good. I've learned so much on how to pronounce words that seems difficult for me. You can download the audio and learn everywhere and anytime you want. I'm a student that needs to learn German because I want to study there and learn about medical science. But how am I gonna do that I don't know how to say my name, where I came from, and ask people how they are? So, I tried the 7 days trial and I'm so happy about it. Overall, their features are awesome, the native speakers are awesome, everything is awesome except for the price, hehe :D. Maybe Rocket Language can consider giving a special discount for students.

This could easily be a 5 star program, but there are enough poor choices by the designers that make it less valueable or frustrating to use that I am being generous to give this 3 stars. The bottom line is that it works, and it did better for me than when I used Rosetta Stone to learn another language.

I have been using this program for 10 months and have had 3 visits to Germany during this time related to work. This is where I think the program isn't good:
1. This program stresses in the informal ways of addressing people. Germans, especially in business, use the formal case (Sie not Du).
2. The program doesn't teach any language rules, rather just provides example after example such as how to conjugate a verb.
3. THe most frustrating part is that the program tries to inculcate easy words (Ja, Nein), and sometimes not useful words like Wunderbar constantly, but doesn't stress words that are important to know such as to want, to like, to take, to need. If someone can't get Ja and Nein correct after the third lesson, then they need to quit.
