Rocket German Reviews

Rocket Languages made me to reconnect with my Mutter (die long time ago, when I was a baby). She went from Germany to Chile, with her parents, and had five German-Chilean kids ( I am the youngest). I was losing the language and now is coming back and I feel that I can talk to her.
I am teaching a little bit to one of my grandsons, so he also has a connection with the past. I am grateful and happy at my old age.

I love it. I now can listen to the narration while I walk outside.

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.

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?)

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.

rocket language is very good when it comes to the teaching but i think things like this should be free because not everyone has the money to pay for it and the people that need it most is poorer people that don't have much money but everyone needs an education it doesn't matter about their status in life

The rocket languages has very good language courses. I have learned a lot both in the German and France languages and I always come back to the side to learn more. Thank you for an excellent site. Baldur

The audio lessons are interesting and keep your attention unlike other audio programs. The exercises and transcripts are very helpful for reinforcing the German I am learning from the audio clips. I like how you can mark vocabulary words that you still need work on and how you can review them later from the website. Other audio programs I have tried don't even provide a transcript of what is being said, so it is hard to learn to read and write in the language if you've never seen the words! The games are also a fun break from studying. Better yet, Rocket German is affordable unlike some other options I have considered.

I like how everything is organized on the site. I like the features i.e language and culture lessons, My Forum, the tests, the games, survival kit, and My Vocab. For me Rocket German is the way to go for language learners. I do not know how else to learn a language!

I've been taking weekly private lessons in German for 3 months. When Rocket had their courses 60% off I got all 3 levels of German. Rocket is an amazingly great addition to learning German for me. I can practice daily and can hear the language spoken by native German speakers and a British chick and I like that, she is great but I can hear the difference. I love all of the different parts to each unit. I'm wondering if there is a more extensive writing part that I've missed on my dashboard? And HOW can I ever learn to do the German 'R'?!? I'm a teacher myself and never thought an online course would be as effective as a classroom teacher but it is! (Fortunately I teach choirs so I hope I can't be replaced.) So HUGE thanks to Rocket Language German and the presenters. I am probably one of the few non-Germans who think the German language is sexy! Auf Wiedersehen!
