Rocket German Reviews

I purchased several levels of Rocket French last year. The interactive lessons are very helpful and very easy to use once you get all the settings right. Now I have purchased Rocket German. I expect German to be much harder, but I have high hopes! I appreciate the prompt customer service, and the emails remind me to stick with my lessons.

I find Rocket German to be easy to follow and instructive in regards to grammar and the finer points of the German language. I like the speech recognition feature and the flow of the lessons. The flash card review at the end of the lesson is very helpful. It is the best of all the other online programs I have tried, and that includes Babbel, Duolingo, Rosetta Stone and a few others.

Love the program. It is fun and easy to learn. I'm amazed at the upgrades and improvements that are frequently made to the program. I have hopes of learning French or Spanish after I have become fluent in German.

Having moved from the United States to Berlin, Germany last year, I needed serious help to get up to speed on my German. I've taken several German courses, and used a few other software packages; however, Rocket German is my favorite of all the language development tools. I really appreciate the fact that the good folks at Rocket Languages are always trying to update the content on the website...keeping the lessons fresh and fun. It's good to back over some of the old material from time to time...and Rocket keeps you motivated to do so. While I do not feel I have mastered the language (yet), Rocket German is helping me get there.

Comprehensive lessons, each leaving you feeling accomplished and confident. Every lesson section can take 45 minute to listen to and complete. As such, each Rocket German level has easily hundreds of hours of content. Definitely worth the money if you're serious about learning a language.

I think Rocket Language German is a very good course. Actually, the best online/software kind of course of german that I have known. It introduces well the German language, in a way that helps you to memorize. In comparison to other famous courses like Rosetta Stone, the content of the Rocket Language is just bigger. It gives you a very good panorama of the main themes in the new language you want to learn. I highly recommend it to serious students...if you are a casual student, be aware that this course is designed for people who really want to make an effort...Finally, I think if you do your homework besides the course, listening to podcasts, reading, studying vocabulary....Rocket Language is definitely a good part of the equation and gives a very good sense of direction.

من ایرانی هستم و متاسفانه امکان خرید برایم ممکن نیست. من از سایت رایگان دولینگو استفاده می‌کنم و در یادگیری زبان آلمانی پیشرفت خوبی داشته‌ام. این سایت گزینه‌ها و امکانات خوبی برای آموزش دارد؛ کاش می‌توانستم کامل از آن استفاده کنم.

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.

Rocket German is really handy and helpful. This app enables me to learn wherever and whenever I am and it helps me to master the language faster, so that I have an enough foundation prior to my movement to Germany.

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.
