Rocket German Reviews

Customer service and the 6 day preview actually helped me make my decision to go with Rocket Language. It's comprehensive, varied learning methods, and very user friendly. I've already started using it and am only 3 lessons in! Highly recommended.

I was so impressed by your course that I wrote a review after working with it for a day or so and gave you four stars. After working with it extensively for over two weeks I am now even more impressed and would like to give you five stars on every aspect. The only word for Rocket German is brilliant. You understand that when the average person says that they want to "learn" a language, they really mean that they want to understand people speaking that language in basic everyday situations and in turn be able to be understood themselves when speaking. Your material is first class for that and the ability to practise phrases over and over again comparing your own voice to a native speaker is undoubtedly the best aspect of your course. For most of us, what we hear in our head when trying to speak another language can be quite different to what sometimes comes out of our mouths. Your course gives us the chance to "hear ourselves as others hear us". When trying to speak another language, confidence is paramount. Your course delivers in spades the ability to speak confidently in everyday situations using basic vocab. My advice to anyone looking at German language courses is this - if you want to speak basic German confidently, do yourselves a favour and invest in Rocket German. You won't regret it and the course is worth every cent of the purchase price.

I read several language course reviews before choosing the Rocket program to learn to speak German. I made the right choice! I have used the Paul Noble cd's in the past and loved them as an intro to German, but they were not enough. I also tried the Pimsleur method for a couple of lessons, but I really did not like it. Too repetitive and boring. But this Rocket program is a great blend of the conversational explanations I liked about the Paul Noble cds, the ability to listen in my car to the audio conversations, and that added element of using my laptop to learn the grammar and writing that I really need to round out my skills. I love to be able to hear the sounds, practice speaking, and then see the correct spelling of the words. Seeing the spelling really helps me correct my pronunciation and start seeing patterns in the language. I consider myself a visual learner, so seeing the written word is within my comfort zone of learning style. However, I really need to be able to train my ear and practice all the new sounds that come with a new language. This program offers a great mix of teaching and evaluation methods.

After letting my learning slide for a few months I have returned to the site. I really like the many new features. I find the experience very worthwhile and am now hoping to get the most out of the course.

I have tried many language courses through out the years and have finally found one that gets me sitting down in front of my computer every night because I know I've got a test to take every Sunday night. The badge/ribbon award that flashes up on the screen gives me a little boost.

By the time I finish each lesson, the words are in my head... and are still there for future reviews. I love the variety of ways to learn - audio, written, games, etc. Looking forward to digging in deeper to the grammar.

Last spring I took a Level 1 German course at a local community college. I purchased Rocket Languages- German to help me hold onto what I had learned and to extend my learning. It is fabulous! I especially like that I can record myself and then playback the tutor followed immediately by me. This particular feature is far more helpful than a classroom. I just finished my first series of lessons and have "rocketed" to the second series. Great job Rocket Languages!! This 60 year old learner is greatly impressed!

Rocket Languages is a fun way to learn. Hearing it in actual conversation and learning tidbits about it is very helpful. I also like the typing and talking. Having so many ways to practice it makes it stick in your head better.

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 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!
