Rocket German Reviews

Great language learning program. I've been using it to learn German and I have made more progress then I ever did with Pimsleur, Fluenz and Rosetta Stone. The lessons are challenging and the recordings are interesting. If I was ever going to learn another language would definitely start with Rocket.

Rocket German is my 3rd Rocket language course: it is awesome and it let me learn the basics quickly.
I would highly recommend it to get a primer of the language and as a support to grammar classes or books.
If you need a basic to intermediate command of the language, Rocket is definitely enough, plus it helps really A LOT with pronunciation!
Then, if you are aiming to master a foreign language I can share what worked for me. I learnt French and Portuguese in less than 1 year (well enough to be able to work in those languages) and I am progressing very quickly with German right now.
I have started with Rocket premium level 1, then I have taken few private classes while continuing with Rocket.
At the same time, I try to listen to the Radio and watch movies in foreign language whenever possible.
Whatever is your goal, I cannot stress enough the importance of Rocket Language in learning a new language.

This course is amazing I can highly recommend to everybody it provides the highest quality of knowledge after I finish with german I will choose another language.

Es ist beste Qualität, ich liebe rocken german.

What an experience learning with Rocket languages has been. I feel it has greatly enhanced my conversation skills and I am now more confident with my trip to Germany I would certainly recommend this to my friends.
Auf Wiedersehen

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!

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.

PROS: I like the layout and the reinforcement. Some might say the course is repetitive, but I find that it actually takes that much repetition to actually stick.

CONS: The German narrators are a little too "peppy" which can get annoying, but that's ok. I would love to see the special characters (non-English) as easy buttons at the bottom of the text box, instead of having to open the keyboard every time. It really slows down the learning to do that.

Rocket Languages is an awesome way to learn German or any language. It is light years ahead of the way I learned French at High School long ago.

In place of learning lists of words, you are given phrases to use so that you learn idioms rather than setting yourself up to use stilted expressions that don't accord with actual usage. You can still build your own vocabulary lists and export them to a file in your computer; and you can create your own notes to accompany these lists to gain understanding of how the words are used and case modified. I was offered .csv but would prefer .doc, but this is a minor matter.

The ability to download the initial conversational lessons is a great plus along with also being able to download .pdf files so that you can refresh yourself in these lessons again in a different context such as in your car.

Learning to say words, phrases and sentences from native speaking German tutors ensures that you learn to speak with a minimum of foreign accent, and the repetition with variations speeds the assimilation of the language. This experience is enhanced by your being able to record and re-record your rendition of a recording made for you by a tutor.

Rocket Language course for German Language study is really useful and one can attend to the course at his or her timings. One aspect that is of highly appreciative isthat what is required of one to go over to a Language Lab all theway is easily reachable at our home and at our study desk. At any time of the day or night , I can just open my Computer and listen to and respond to through interactive audio lessons. Thats awesome and I like it. Since I would like to be outspoken though not critical , I expected certain simple grammer learnings like the prepositions, modal verbs infinite verbs and their conjugations . pronouns , cases and tenses. If these aspects of the grammer is introduced to the beginner, it would have been still better for a beginner to understand any simple sentences in german language. To sum up I liked the lessons that I have covered till date.

I've looked at so many German courses but I just cant find another that provides the variety of tasks with various levels of difficulty and entertainment to keep the students attention. It provides continuous entertainment and motivation.
It's never a chore to get back to study, it's a real buzz.
