Rocket Languages review criteria
This approach seems ideal for my needs - not dependent on availability of a live lecturer or other participants.
I like the combination of listening, speaking, writing and memory testing.
There are some questionable moments, such as Flash cards, in this sequence: "How are you", followed by "How are you (formal)" -- since the first card doesn't indicate that it's 'informal', how am I supposed to divine which version they want? Also, as I've already expressed in a feedback, The gamification of the system, while overall good, sometimes causes badges / achievements to pop up at the most impractical moments (in the middle of writing an answer or recording my voice). If these issues are resolved, my ratings for the satisfaction and likelihood of buying again would go to 5*.
Sometimes the written text does not exactly follow the verbal

Very pleased with the learning experience, the range of spoken and written exercises is very good, definitely a great way to learn a foreign language.

Just bought it. Still trying it out. Seems alright so far.
Response from Rocket Languages
It's great to hear that you are enjoying the course so far. All the best with you German!
I wish there were a chart showing a picture or a drawing of badges. I get new badges fairly often. It is announce only once. I really have no idea what my status is!
It is not clear how the stars work. Are white stars good?
But I still enjoy the course. I am "hooked" on it!

Hi Edward, thank you for your review, it's great to hear that you're hooked on Rocket German. It's awesome that you are gaining so many badges and stars so quickly to see what these mean you can follow this link to the FAQ page and find information under the tab "How do badges work?" https://www.rocketlanguages.com/help. Happy learning!
The nice thing about the course is that I can repeat over and over the phrases and words. I tend not to go overboard with perfection, but my German friend tells me that I'm getting better and sometimes corrects the structure and pronunciation. I talk about easy stuff, nothing too complicated. It's Ok, I'm happy with the progress, thank you. Leo

Hi Lynn, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the voice recognition feature. We're always here to help, our Customer Support team has reached out to assist you with this issue. We wish you all the best with your German language learning!
The idea of the course is super good, but the audio lessons are too lengthy, I wish there would be an "essential parts" audio clip where the dialog is played back, as well as the language rules of the lesson. That would motivate me more to repeat the audio lessons, as well it would be amazing to have the transcripts of the audio files available for download.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Fillip, I appreciate your feedback on our Rocket German course. I have forwarded your suggestion of an "essential parts" audio clip to our product development team for future consideration. To download the lesson audio, use the download button on the left-hand side of the audio bar. We wish you all the best in your language-learning journey!
While I generally enjoy the course, there is something I think should definitely be improved. Specifically, in the reinforcement exercises, they need to specify which form of "you" is expected. In real life, the context will provide the information, but in the exercises, no such context is available. It is quite frustrating! Please address this deficiency. Thank you.
Response from Rocket Languages
This is a great point, Marc! Look out for the notations on the top right-hand corner of each phrase during the reinforcement activities. This should give you all the information about the form of "you" we're looking for in the answer. I hope this helps!
