The Rocket German course has been really enjoyable. It is a nice blend of conversational learning and basic vocabulary. The only improvement I see is to have more in the beginning to describe the different verb tenses with the different pronouns to start the foundation of learning, but you catch on to it with a lot of repetition. The one feature I really like is the voice recognition accuracy that allows you to perfect the pronunciation. A+ for that feature!

I have been studying Rocket German for about a year and a half. I did, however, get away from my studies for 3-4 months, for personal reasons. When I returned to my studies I began by reviewing previous lessons. I was very surprised how much I remembered. This I would have to say supports how effective the material is in the way it is presented...I was not expecting to have retained so much of what I had studied, after being away from the course for so long. The course is definitely worth the money and I have recommended it to several other people

I had spent a year learning German from a book which suited me as a visual learner. BUT, the sounds and ability to speak everything I was learning seemed impossible! Rocket German has been amazing and I am able to move the words from my mind and into my mouth and so speak everything I have learnt in the course so far. The book has become neglected as I feel that I am improving much more with Rocket

I enjoy Rocket German, as it has been the most useful medium for learning a new language short of just dropping into Germany to learn. I am an incurable do-it-yourself-er and Rocket German has been nothing short of encouraging to me. I use it every evening, along with Rocket Russian and I even manage to use it on my phone if I have a few dead moments during the workday to review what I did the night before. Whenever opportunity has presented itself, I've "test-driven" what I've learned in practical application and have been pleased with the results. I have a favorite German restaurant and use it there at times, although the only German speaker there is the owner, so it's only infrequently that I can use it there, but German tourists come to my part of the world occasionally and I do what I can to see if I can make a meaningful attempt at a conversation. It is my goal to be reasonably fluent in 5-years so that when I decide to do a 2-year work stint in Europe at that time, I'll be prepared.

A bit too early to judge, I just started using it for German, but so far it is going sehr gut!
A small improvment would be to teach memorizing the nouns coupled with their articles (Der, Die, Das) since the begining, not to go through sorting these out again at a later stage.
But still, the course is considered great with a nice way for practicing a lot of speaking and writing which were very useful in my case! Thanks

Response from Rocket Languages

It's great to hear that your German language learning is going well, and we appreciate the feedback regarding the articles. You will actually start to notice this after module two. The reason is that German articles function quite differently from their English counterparts, so we purposefully structured it this way to prevent learners from getting the wrong idea. Of course, language learning is unique to each learner, and some may prefer a different approach. Feel free to reach out at [email protected], and we would be happy to discuss how to tailor the course to your learning style.

I have tried learning languages years ago with books and tapes and more recently downloading files from Internet (Listening only, No text!) with mixed results. With Rocket Languages I sense that I am making better progress with more retention and importantly I am able to start thinking in German and not need to translate which is vital in achieving fluency.

Sehr gute arbeit Rocket languages!

As a youngster could only speak German. Had to learn English in grade school. Now 60 some years later can hardly recall any German. Am enjoying reliving my youth by going back to my roots and relearning German.
Danke, Rocket Languages

I purchased the German Rocket course a few years ago, but haven't been practicing enough up till recently. What a great course and such a well organized and comprehensive, with so many options to learn and practice. Will definitely try out other languages, probably spanish/Italian and French. Will also be glad to see more courses in other languages as well (e.g Scandinavian maybe?)

Having spent hours researching various language applications I chose Rocket German. It's an amazing, comprehensive course at an excellent price. Other courses cost as much for just 12 months!
I know a little German, picked up from travelling, but wanted to learn the language properly. I started only last week and have whisked through several lessons already and am astonished at how much I've learned - and retained. I'm not far off 70 so didn't expect to be able to learn so quickly but just by hearing and repeating words and phrases, they seem to stick so I wake up with odd words and phrases in my head. Of course, some words/phrases need more rehearsing than others but you can't expect to learn without effort!
The only issue I have, and I think this is because of how my brain is wired, is that when faced with sentences containing 'an', 'im' 'am' I really need to know when and why each is used; it's these little words that catch me out. I need an explanation of their usage to help me work it out because it's so hard to simply remember by phrase and I'm so eager to be able to apply the structure to new sentences. I'm certain that this is a grammar lesson that will follow later but I feel I need this now.
Listening to different German speakers is incredibly helpful. I realize that I've picked up bad habits and this is helping me to adjust my pronunciation quite quickly.
Overall, brilliant course. Can't recommend highly enough.
