Rocket Languages Reviews

I compared several language programs and test-drove Rocket German before I purchased the whole series. Rocket Languages is so well-designed - it accommodates most people's learning preferences and provides a great deal of engaging learning opportunities. The audio portion is fun and useful; the practice (especially the recording feature) is SO helpful; the new feature that allows me to practice writing is extremely helpful; the games help reinforce what you learn in a competitive way; the forum is a great place to connect with other learners and ask questions (or find answers if you're too timid to post your own!) ... I use Rocket Languages *nearly* every day and have noticed how well I'm retaining and using German as I continue taking these lessons.

As a student of German in college, I thought that over the years I'd "lost" the language as I haven't had much opportunity to use what I knew... but taking this language course has showed me that I hadn't lost it at all... the more I study RL, the more words from my past lessons come back to me.

And the price for all three courses is very reasonable, particularly with 24/7 access. Online learning can be "iffy" ... but Rocket Languages has it figured out. I design online courses for a living and can vouch for the integrity of theory and quality of the instructional design of these courses. It's great stuff!

I have liked the many repetitions and work on pronunciation. The lessons are about the right length to keep up. It is good that each stretches your knowledge by adding more words and phrases to build up vocabulary. Good stuff!!

I've played around with many language learning sites and programs but Rocket Languages is at the top in terms of quality and affordable price. Having the dialogues to go through with such energetic 'tutors' certainly helps, as does the multiple forms in which the learner is asked to practice the material. I have found myself getting otherwise complicated-sounding German phrases in my head, repeating themselves when I'm doing something else. I'm looking forward to continuing with RocketLanguages!

I have found this course to be very useful in helping me to learn and improve my ability with German. I would recommend it to anyone whether they are just starting or want to rapidly improve.... an excellent investment.

This is a great course, and I really love the way you are taught,with voice audio and all the tools for you to use. I am speechless but thrilled that I purchased this course, looking forwarded to finishing the course.

I am amazed at how much I remember from high school....a fun way to reconnect and learn so much more! We are planning a trip back to Bavaria and I am looking forward to using my new German language skills.

It is a usefull language learning system, I especially like the MP3 files, however I have spotted a few problems with the website, these are: Unit = 2.11 the website says metro = Underground however it Should be = metro = meter & Underground = metropolitan Its ok to put in names & so not translate them - But not ok to say a name is a translation when it is not. Unit = 2.12 the website says Lavoro manuale = Labor however it Should be = Lavoro manuale = manual work & Lavoro = Labor Unit = 2.13 the website says Quant'è? = How much does it come to? however it Should be = Quant'è? = How much? & venuto a = come to Unit = 3.4 the website says Abbastanza = Fairly bad. however it Should be = male = bad Unit = 3.4 the website says Allora riposa e cerca di dormire. = Ok then, have a rest and try to sleep. however it Should be = Ok then, have a rest = Ok allora, avere un periodo di riposo Unit = 3.7 the Problem is English words on wrong (italian) side for: ham, cabbage & she arranges Unit = 3.7 the Problem is all più words have extra letters in them = più Unit = 3.7 the Problem is ' is confusing in It's hotter (more hot) today than yesterday.

I have been off and on in my learning, but it's nice to know that Rocket French is always available! So, even though I haven't been able to take classes at the local college, I can still work on learning French. Also, I haven't checked out the news in awhile, but I just read about the iOS app for my iPhone! Yay!!

These types of programs are new for learning languages and being new they have to be created with hard work so with each new feature we get a better learning experience for the next language. I'm happy to support RocketLanguages by purchasing new language modules. I'm happy to provide them with feedback because they appreciate it. Thank you for the first edition iOS interfaces and thank you for the ability to search through all the lessons for interesting topics to review and thank you for continuing to add and improve. I like the badge system, the forums, the motivational musings, the new dashboard, the ability to download pdf and mp3 formats to use offline. And most of all, I like the animated people that record the lessons. I find the German lessons I am doing now just as fun as the French.

Great work. Thank you.

Good and easy. Studying for an A1 German exam to get a German Visa. I do have some German experience which does help but everything is coming back quickly thanks to this program! The native speaking English mixed with German makes it a lot easier to learn in my opinion!
