I am very pleased. I have barely gotten started, but so far it exceeds expectations. I especially like the structure of the lessons. It strikes a good balance of listening, speaking, spelling, and grammar. Es ist sehr gut!

I'm pleased with Rocket German. The program has worked well on my iMac, provided I use the Chrome browser. Lessons are well sorgfanized, and if you keep at it day and are using the grammar as well as interactive lessons your fluency and reading will improve. I'm doubtful that writing will make similar progress as the structure is not a good, at leas so far, for teaching students to write German well, though students do get plenty of practice transcribing what they hear. I would not hesitate to recommend it to somebody wishing to learn to read and speak better German. I find it does help to make a point to watch movies and TV programs in German.

I am happy with the course and how it is presented. Impressed with the App.
I invested nearly $450 with Pimsleur and it was not value for money.
Am French born in Paris of British parents so bilingual at an early age, my wife is Italian so I also speak it. After I finish this German course, I may consider investing in your Spanish course
Best regards

While I am enjoying, and learning from Rocket language I have two major gripes. 1) Many of the conversations are between to native English speakers who do not pronounce like native Germans (Which is the goal of language learning) and the audio "lesson" can get rather tedious and forced sounding. 2) On many of the conversations, when you "play as..." if the person laughs, moans, chuckles, or makes other noncommittal noises, you still must sound exactly like they do to pass that section, even though I can intentionally mispronounce words in hard mode and it will pass me to the next section otherwise.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Brian; there is one non-native speaker in the Interactive Audio course (Level 1), in-line with our philosophy of providing the most effective online language learning courses possible, we will be replacing that audio with a native speaker within the next couple of months.

I previously purchased Rocket Italian and learned quite a bit in preparation for travel. I'm now onto Rocket German as a refresher: many years ago, I learned German. In my experience, using Rocket as a refresher course has been particularly effective. Sometimes the pacing of the lessons can be a bit overwhelming (especially around verbs). For instance, in the Italian course, occasionally, a huge amount of information would be dumped on the learner, and it became a matter of learning by rote. Overall, however, I think Rocket Languages are a very satisfying way to learn languages and feel more a part of the rest of the world. I think the pricing is more than reasonable.

I am finding this course both challenging and enjoyable. Since I have bought Rocket German they have added a good amount of material. I like that you can make your own goals and there are different kind of challenges to each lesson. I would highly recommend this course.

Initially I dint trust. But when started experimenting really awesome software. You can learn a lot lot n more.
Really appreciated for its designing. Learning German made me easy but little expensive to purchase online. Fit for corporate employees. For students little burden I feel.

I liked the rocket learning German course quite a lot, the several types of ways it helps you learn, either through writing questions or having you verbally repeat it back to a microphone. This all contributed to high rates of retention of the words for myself.

I bought this program a few years ago and sadly only used it here and there. Recently I have revisited Rocket Languages and I have to say its great! After taking formal language classes and continuing to self-study, this has been a great tool. I love all of the different "Write It", "Speak It", etc parts and especially the dialogue repetitions that increase in difficulty. I like reaching my daily goal. Really easy to use and helpful. I will certainly recommend it to others! Thanks Rocket Languages!

I have the German course from long time and I always have problems to start. Now, with the voice reconition I'm in love with it and buy the Premiun of the Frensh too.
Now every day I take some time to do the two courses and it makes me more anda more confident with the results.
