Wirklich toll! The only area which I would critique is in connection with pronunciation. Paul's pronunciation is very clear. Nik's is rather Australian. The interactive pronunciation test really appears just to graph speech volume and phrasing rather than the accuracy of your pronunciation itself. You have to compare the recording of your own voice and evaluate for yourself how close your pronunciation is to that of the tutor. That could lead to the repetition of mistakes if your pronunciation goes uncorrected. They could improve this by focusing more on pronunciation, including how pronunciation varies according to regional dialect. I have no doubt that Rocket will improve this over time. Overall, it is simply a wonderful German language learning tool, and one that is very easy and fun to use. "Sehr gute Arbeit! Auf Wiedersehen!"
I'm impressed by the clever and practical approach in the Rocket German audio lessons. The "Nik-Paul" conversations are full of humor that makes it more than palatable to repeat the lesson as often I need to. The suggestions for using new words and phrases in situations beyond the ones specifically addressed in the lesson help expand my horizons and enhance the value of each lesson. The written materials complement the conversations and are organized into manageable chunks. Between those and the chances to self-test online with comprehension and pronunciation, the course goes the extra mile in encouraging me to push myself.
Superb! I loved everything about it. Great lessons accompanied by best pronunciation etc and great tutors! The best site for learning and improving the requisite language skills! Great and helpful study material!
I am loving Rocket Languages so far! Its very well rounded, from speaking to listening, writing and reading. Its very organized and I can sense that my learning will go very far.
I've tried using other apps and things for learning a language and so far this is the best i have found, very interactive and easy to follow. Worth a try!
Been doing the Rocket German for about 3 months. So far, I've enjoyed it for the most part and am looking forward to getting into the second Level. My one complaint/suggestion is that I find the written lessons to be poorly set up. The focus looks like it is supposed to be on grammar in many lessons, yet they are taught with 20+ new vocabulary words in many of them. So instead of focusing on the new grammar rules, you get lost trying to figure out what all of the new vocabulary is. Would suggest using only words already known when first introducing a grammar lesson so that the focus is kept on the grammar and not diverted to the new words. I've come out of several of the written lessons with no more knowledge of the grammar rules then when I went in because 90% of the examples were with new vocabulary. Audio lessons are great though, and overall I still think there are many positives. Looking forward to the updated level one German whenever it is due out.

Hi Brian - It's a balancing act to know when new vocabulary should be introduced, as everyone is different in how they learn. Our approach has been to deliver common words and important terminology in our lessons, so that over time the essential vocabulary you need is built up.
the best site for learning German , viva rocket german
I am very glad to learn foreign languages with the rocket languages method, because it is very funny and it is well designed, so that I can learn according to my own time schedule. The results are really amazing for me.
This program really works. I am a long time language learner, and must admit that I've never had as much success speaking as I've had with this program learning German. I'm excited to thoroughly review my Spanish and French with Rocket Languages, and pick up Italian! Ciao!
My learning journey using Rocket Languages was terrific! It was amazing, indeed. The tools were very effective and you could easily see that there was a lot of planning and thinking behind this website. Nik and Paul were sooooo hilarious hahahahaha! I loved it! 10 out of 10, would absolutely recommend!
