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!
The speaking does not always match correctly. You can perfectly pronounce a word and still get it wrong, which is frustrating as it holds your progress until you give up. Meine Frau ist Deutsch.

Thank you for leaving a review! It's great to see that you are enjoying Rocket German. Happy learning!
The course is so helpful, I've been studying with it for 18 days at the time of writing this review and It's probably the first time I managed to learn +10 words a day consistently ever since I started learning German 9 months ago. Do I recommend the course? Yes 100% because it saves you time and energy that would otherwise be wasted on looking for resources or relying on unorganized studying. two things I wasn't a big fan of about this course are 1:there is a considerate amount of typos I have noticed in the audio lesson subtitles like how they kept writing "ausserdem" instead of "außerdem" in the lesson called "renting an apartment". and 2: sometimes they don't explain enough during the lesson which can leave the student confused and asking the question "why is it this way?" but my advice is to ask chat gpt for more clarification about what you may struggle to understand during the audio lessons, the language and culture lessons are also very effective in teaching grammar as well as new vocabulary and expanding general knowledge, customer service is amazing. Thank you Rocket Languages for making German learning easier.

It's so wonderful to hear that Rocket German is helping you make steady progress with your language learning! We really appreciate you pointing out that typo—please know it has been fixed now, so when you next revisit this lesson, you’ll see "außerdem" spelled correctly in the script. Your thoughts on the grammatical explanations are great to hear and we want to let you know that our content team is working hard to introduce even more in-depth explanations as we make updates to our Audio lessons across the courses. Keep up the fantastic work, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more feedback or questions. We’re here to help!
Rocket is the most comprehensive language learning tool on the market. I have used other programs recently and there really is no comparison to Rocket the course.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for your review, Bruce. We're really glad to hear that you are enjoying the course. All the best!
There is a kind of IT glitch with timing. Before I am finished saying a longer sentence, the 100% green comes on. Then I simply repeat the sentence. But it's kind of irritating. Not a bit deal, but yeah, a kind of glitch in timing...
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for sharing this, Lynn; it’s helpful to know how the timing is affecting your experience. It sounds like the system is sometimes marking phrases as complete too early, especially when sentences are spoken more slowly or are longer. We understand how that could be frustrating, even if it’s a minor issue. If it continues to be disruptive, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at [email protected]; we'd be happy to take a closer look.
Rocket German is great for wanting to get serious about learning and applying German in real life with a structured approach. Compared to other gamified apps which can be fun, Rocket german adds to the fun by having clear lesson goals to achieve, and I feel acomplished after practicing recogising words, writing and speaking. highly recommended and I am aiming for Rocket German to help me all the way to B1 test.
