After searching the web for many different language learning software, I stumbled upon Rocket Languages and immediately fell in love with not only the way it teaches but also the leaderboard that shows you how you are doing compared to others learning the language. With the pleasant real life conversations and the awesome clearing spoken words, it has made learning german a breeze! Gute arbeit Rocket Language!

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.

I only did the free trial and it looks like a premium product already (finished first 2 lessons using all the tools), you can´t get access to the supplementary material only (which is obvious as it´s too good to be free) but the rest is all there: audio lessons which are self-paced and very nicely taught by Nik and Paul, the voice recognition part so you can try and get results on your pronunciation comparing yourself to the native speaker (it works really!), the good idea of having all translated so no need to guess, and finally the tests and quiz so you can see how much you could improve. There is no time limitation on the trial which is great, but once you get to the culture lessons you´ll need the full version but more than willing to pay after being a high-quality product. Keep the good work!

It is an amazing website to learn. I am at the 3rd day of trial and I will definately buy a course. I hope I can speak German fluently after a short time. The best thing I like of the web is the recording of my voice. I can hear my own voice and check if I say it wrong or right.

I think Rocket Language German is a very good course. Actually, the best online/software kind of course of german that I have known. It introduces well the German language, in a way that helps you to memorize. In comparison to other famous courses like Rosetta Stone, the content of the Rocket Language is just bigger. It gives you a very good panorama of the main themes in the new language you want to learn. I highly recommend it to serious students...if you are a casual student, be aware that this course is designed for people who really want to make an effort...Finally, I think if you do your homework besides the course, listening to podcasts, reading, studying vocabulary....Rocket Language is definitely a good part of the equation and gives a very good sense of direction.

I would recommend Rocket Languages if you are a complete beginner. But it is frustrating for someone, who has basic familiarity with the language and is looking to improve. The program has too many elements, like the speaking, writing, quizzing, etc. And the conversations are so basic and repetitive that it is annoying. I wish there was a version that offered a refresher approach or a reading based approach for those who know the basics and want to expand their vocabulary and brush on grammar. Alternatively, it would be nice if one didn't have to purchase the basic levels in order to get the more advanced sessions. Rocket language dialogs seem to focus more on tourist activities. Also, I think it would be useful to have all of the presenters speaking with the proper accent. In the German course, only one of the presenters is a native speaker. Finally, the speech recognition is slow and often spotty - and that's on the desktop version. In the iOS app, many of the quiz/practice functions don't work at all. I purchased the program because it was on sale, but I should have just relied on reading German books and media and on watching movies in German.

من ایرانی هستم و متاسفانه امکان خرید برایم ممکن نیست. من از سایت رایگان دولینگو استفاده می‌کنم و در یادگیری زبان آلمانی پیشرفت خوبی داشته‌ام. این سایت گزینه‌ها و امکانات خوبی برای آموزش دارد؛ کاش می‌توانستم کامل از آن استفاده کنم.

I like the interaction in the 'Play it' section but there are problems;

1. The programme frequently states that it has not heard my reply - despite that when I press playback my reply is very clearly there - this is very frustrating and time consuming.

2. The programme makes no allowance for a beginner taking time making a reply which inevitably takes a lot longer than a fluent speaker would take - this again is very frustrating and prevents making best use of the programme.

I was so impressed by your course that I wrote a review after working with it for a day or so and gave you four stars. After working with it extensively for over two weeks I am now even more impressed and would like to give you five stars on every aspect. The only word for Rocket German is brilliant. You understand that when the average person says that they want to "learn" a language, they really mean that they want to understand people speaking that language in basic everyday situations and in turn be able to be understood themselves when speaking. Your material is first class for that and the ability to practise phrases over and over again comparing your own voice to a native speaker is undoubtedly the best aspect of your course. For most of us, what we hear in our head when trying to speak another language can be quite different to what sometimes comes out of our mouths. Your course gives us the chance to "hear ourselves as others hear us". When trying to speak another language, confidence is paramount. Your course delivers in spades the ability to speak confidently in everyday situations using basic vocab. My advice to anyone looking at German language courses is this - if you want to speak basic German confidently, do yourselves a favour and invest in Rocket German. You won't regret it and the course is worth every cent of the purchase price.
