I've tried books, CDs and tapes. Rocket German is the easiest, fastest, most economical and fun! Once you get started the enthusiasm begins. Emails from Rocket German are very encouraging also! Don't waste your time or money on anything else. Rocket Languages is the by far the best language course you can use and by far the cheapest! I'm going to Germany next year and am very confident that I'll be speaking like the natives! I'm also blessed to have German friends here that I can practice with. They tell me "Du sprichst gut Deutsch!" Vielen Dank Rocket Languages!

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.

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.

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.

Learning another language is a daunting task no matter how it is approached; however, Rocket Languages has made the process much less difficult thanks to their easy to use software. The best aspect of this program is how it aids in making the material interesting through a variety of exercises and techniques. Dedication and persistence are the only ways to truly absorb a language to any useful extent, and Rocket Languages has made this easier to achieve. I've personally used Rocket German and while it hasn't been my sole source of material in my quest for fluency, it is certainly the most flexible and adaptive of them. The program is solid and shouldn't be a challenge for anyone to use, even those who aren't technologically savvy. Luckily, there are several ways to access guides to the program through video tours and text. Support has been responsive in the few times I have needed it, which is much appreciated. I'd have to say that this program is one of the few out there that is worth the purchase price, and then some.

It is very frustrating that I cannot offline download the lessons in the app itself on my iPhone. It would have been better that way. I want to be able to use it in the car that way. I know you can download it through iTunes, but that is too cumbersome.

(updated 2019): Hi Michael - This functionality is now on the apps. You can download the audio to your device at the press of a button!

I just went through the introduction, the only problem I had would be there's no spelling in the conversation. If I would be listening to this program without pre-study the contents, it's hard to remember the sentence afterwards.

I recently was introduced to your programme from my local library. It has been both informative and helpful! I really enjoy the useful vocabulary and informative cultural tips. It is very very very very very very very very cool!!!!

My partner has RocketFrench, which is great and which he enjoys. I am a language teacher, so I help reinforce.
Now, I just bought RocketGerman -with the same hopes of the French version- and lasted 4 minutes of intro and am SHOCKED: I want to learn German, so why is Nik being such a bitch to Paul, saying his German accent is not as sexy as a French accent?! Why is she saying "especially if your daily job does not require a lot of brain power". Not to mention her horrid voice with unbearable high pitch. How am I supposed to learn with a condescending teacher? No thank you!
I want to talk to someone from customer service.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Justine - Yes, we have had some comment about Niks voice/attitude and it seems to be rather polarizing. To that end we have re-recorded Level 1 of Rocket German (Update: release date will be end of June 2020)
