Great course - it gets you speaking from day one. The interactive approach is very useful.
Only complaint is the Language and culture section which is very dry as it's mostly lists and lists of vocab/sample sentences.

I've had Rocket German German since 2009, and think it's excellent.

Being able to sit on the train, listening to the German *and* English being spoken, often with interesting explanations, it's been really useful.

Excellent value for money, and I have recommended it to other ex-pats who, like me, have moved to Zurich.

A friend had recommended Rocket German to me. At first I wasn't sure whether it would reach my requirements. As I'm planning to move to Germany and hopefully study there one day I wanted to learn German as fast as possible.

I've tried learning it before in the past but I always gave up. It simply wasn't fun. Well, after trying Rocket German for some time now I can say that not only is it fun, it's addictive. I love how amusing it is to listen to the audio, it's as easy as that to download it to my ipod and then absorb the lessons as I go about my day. The systems with points is also motivating me to work even harder.

I'm from Sweden and I've learnt both English and Spanish to a fluent level. It took hard work and truth be told, it's was a rather arduous journey. Sure, I enjoyed it, as I've always enjoyed language learning, but there was a lot of effort involved. With rocket german I what I'm experiencing is a sense of my language learning being effortless. Sure, your brain will be working hard as the lessons are getting increasingly more intense and challenging, but it's all presented in such a clever and innovative way that the it's never boring.

If you want to learn german in an enjoyable and effortless manner then rocket german is your best choice.

This program is amazing! I highly recommend Rocket Fuel to anyone that wants to gain a complete understanding of how to speak Deutsch. You will learn how to converse both formally and informally. Rocket Fuel is truly Wunderbar!

I've been studying German for about twenty-five years, including self-help books and audio programs, as well as taking lessons from a native German teacher. In 2009, I had the opportunity to attended an immersion class in Berlin. I recently began to think about taking another trip to Germany and Austria, so I decided to use Rocket German as a refresher course. I have been pleasantly surprised how quickly the program has brought me back to my previous level of competence ----- and then some. I plan on continuing through the Premium Plus program, and at some point in the future, when I feel I've gotten all I can out of the first two programs, I'll purchase the Platinum. In my view, the interactive conversations offered by Rocket German are invaluable, if you want to continue to improve your conversational skills.

I love learning new languages! I can speak conversational German and, to a lesser extent, Croatian. Recently I was inspired to learn Spanish by a friend and so I spent hours and hours poring over reviews of the various online language learning options. There were so many options out there but nothing really felt like it was "the one" until I came across Rocket Spanish! Now, some people are happy with simply learning how to speak a language by only learning phrases but I'm one of those who really need to understand the grammar behind the phrases and sentences. So, when I came across Rocket Spanish, I was extremely excited to see that, not only will I get to learn to speak the language like a native speaker and in a way that suits my learning style (Visual) but also that the course is packed with quality lessons in grammar. What really impresses me about Rocket Spanish is the emphasis on repeating words or phrases out loud (not just in my head). This is such an important factor in accelerating one's fluency in a non-native language. After all, if you want to speak a new language, then you really do need to speak it out loud! I only wish that I had come across Rocket when I learned German and Croatian! It would most certainly have saved me countless hours and dollars wasted on ineffective methods.

I am just completing the 2nd module of level 2 German. I did the beginners Rosetta beginners course and that has got me to the right level for Rocket level 2. I like the Rocket approach which I think works better than Rosetta would when things get a little more complicated as the Rosetta method is done without a single word of English in the course which can make it hard to work out what is going on if a simple picture isn’t enough.

The material covered looks appropriate for someone wanting to go and live in Germany so it has stuff about opening a bank account and renting a flat, but it would also be good for a tourist who wants to really experience Germany.

Customer service has been helpful if a little slow once I cottoned on to the fact that it is best to contact them via Help on the main site rather than help from the German dashboard help. But I have had very few problems so far.

Over the years I've tried to learn German through adult ed classes (results depended too much on individual teacher), Rosetta Stone (a very poor approach), and Duolingo (good, but missing some important learning elements). I love the multi-faceted Rocket Language approach and it's the method that works for me! Vielen Dank!
