Rocket German Reviews

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 wish there was a way to make the pronunciations slower. To enunciate each syllable or sound. The narrator goes so fast sometimes I am unable to pick up the sounds.
Other than that, for me this works great. Now just figure out a way to make me find the time to use it.

I am enjoying this learning system. It gets right down to business and I like that.

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.

Great program. I like the flow of the modules and the flexibility the mobile app offers. The only issue I have is that the voice recognition is a little finicky. It will give 100% sometimes even though I clearly mispronounced or even left a word out. It will also fail to recognize a word in one sentence but then pick it up in others.

I have been using Rocket German for a while. It's very helpful for beginner who doesn't have previous German knowledge before, since Rocket German break the conversation and the grammar in a small step that is easier to understand. The host encourage us to practice the conversation ourselves a lot which is great in learning language since it's a language if we learn how to speak it.
Will be best if Rocket German can add more materials in future such as, interview topic and more other formal usage in workplace with colleague/superior and other more serious topics like economy. Recommend Rocket German to people who'd like to learn new language.

I just started with this course and I find the content really comprehensive. Exercises are nicely structured and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. BUT! (now for the bad part):
FOR GOD SAKE, please reduce the narrator content. She just keeps blabbering in English and even in the first lesson it starts to feel unnatural and annoying. Lessons are 30 min long and they could be half that size if she just stops her completely unnecessary commentary. I REALLY hope she will just stop talking in more advanced lessons and I will hear more German. As you can see I am really annoyed with that haha.

All in all it's a really good course and good value.

Cheers

I like the format of the course but am disappointed that the presenter with an English accent has been replaced with one with an American accent. Also I have spotted a few mistakes with the words spoken by the tutor compared to that written on screen.

And in the latest version the "Play it" elements of the lessons won't work on my computer whereas previously I had no problem with them.

So far so gut, need to check further lessons though as this is just the second on Module 1 Starter

I would like to see a way to mark the place where I left off in the audio.
