German Level 1 was great - detailed and thorough, moving at a good pace. I have just started Level 2, and it is a different thing entirely, and unfortunately not at all good. It seems to have been botched together from a previous, separate attempt at a course (the numbered Audio lessons are completely different in the lesson plan and in the audio track), and it doesn’t follow on from Level 1 in any meaningful way (there’s repetition of stuff we’ve already covered).

Most disappointing is a dramatic drop in quality of the Language lessons. The grammar explanations are much shorter, and leave gaps and questions unanswered. The lessons on Dative and Genitive are terrible - cursory explanations and patchy examples. Example sentences either display grammatical features which go wholly unexplained in the text; or fail to display the relevant grammar at all. Poorly thought out, and a frustrating contrast to the excellent Level 1.

Response from Rocket Languages

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Tim - At the start of 2020 we revamped all of Rocket Germans Level 1 Language & Culture lessons (the ones you speak highly of!), and were it not for the pandemic we would have also released fully updated Interactive Audio lessons for Level 1 as well (these are probably a month or so away now). Level 2 is going to be revamped in the style of Level 1 soon.

I find Rocket German to be easy to follow and instructive in regards to grammar and the finer points of the German language. I like the speech recognition feature and the flow of the lessons. The flash card review at the end of the lesson is very helpful. It is the best of all the other online programs I have tried, and that includes Babbel, Duolingo, Rosetta Stone and a few others.

I would recommend using this website for any tricky words in German that you find trouble saying.

I could not get past the incredibly annoying woman with her fingernails-on-chalkboard voice. The squeaking, the overemphatic emoting, the inane chatter and the off-putting accent have driven me away from this program in the first 5 minutes.

Response from Rocket Languages

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Kat; I am sorry to hear that you didn't gel with our Rocket German presenter. We are actually close to releasing an all new interactive audio course for Rocket German, with all new voices!

I've been taking weekly private lessons in German for 3 months. When Rocket had their courses 60% off I got all 3 levels of German. Rocket is an amazingly great addition to learning German for me. I can practice daily and can hear the language spoken by native German speakers and a British chick and I like that, she is great but I can hear the difference. I love all of the different parts to each unit. I'm wondering if there is a more extensive writing part that I've missed on my dashboard? And HOW can I ever learn to do the German 'R'?!? I'm a teacher myself and never thought an online course would be as effective as a classroom teacher but it is! (Fortunately I teach choirs so I hope I can't be replaced.) So HUGE thanks to Rocket Language German and the presenters. I am probably one of the few non-Germans who think the German language is sexy! Auf Wiedersehen!

I hope you adding it soon, because there many information which i didnt find in the notes there. regrads C.Blake

Response from Rocket Languages

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Kangabu - It sounds like you have adjusted the settings on the "Play it!" activity. At the top right of the activity there is a settings button, which allows you to show/hide various parts of the text to make it harder!

Rocket Languages is awesome. You can listen, write, and even quiz yourself while learning new words in a fun way.

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 30min 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 its a really good course and good value.

Cheers

Response from Rocket Languages

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Andrija - Level 1 of Rocket German is a beginners course so there is more explanations in English and less German as it can be overwhelming if there was too much German. As the course progresses there is more German and less English!
