Customer service and the 6 day preview actually helped me make my decision to go with Rocket Language. It's comprehensive, varied learning methods, and very user friendly. I've already started using it and am only 3 lessons in! Highly recommended.
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.

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 have used rocket Spanish and loved it. I will soon be taking a trip to Italy so I am now trying to learn using rocket Italian . Rocket Languages, in my opinion, are the very best and easiest way to learn a new language.
I've been looking for learning programs for months now, and Rocket Languages has been the easiest to use and learn from. I was able to speak and understand words and phrases almost immediately. Unlike other programs, this one has actually made it easy to learn to also read and write in the target language. I can't recommend this program strongly enough.
Da jia hao!
I decided to learn the Chinese language because I've always found it quite interesting and most of the population here speak this language. I did not regret getting the full version of Rocket Chinese because of the extensive content that it has. Since I've started learning Mandarin here, I have noticed improvements in my conversational skills, writing skills, and, from there, I also have manged to recognise some Chinese characters bit by bit as I complete more lessons.
However, I think the structure of the lessons can be better if they had followed the structure of the HSK standards. Although I find the content really good so far, some words that has been taught previously appears again in the "Extra Vocabulary" section, which I think can be replaced with other relevant words like the lesson "Going shopping" did not even mention the word "shangdian" which means "store" as in stores in a shopping centre or even appears on the extra vocab section. Also, the Chinese locals here speak differently and use different words (although the same meaning) in their daily conversation, like we use Huayu (chinese language) instead of Hanyu.
In conclusion, I think Rocket Chinese is good for learning but it requires constant improvements to fill up the gaps that were probably overlooked.
Even though I am retired, I still find it very easy to learn Spanish with Rocket. My wife and I are preparing for a trip to South America. This course is wonderful. I love all the different ways that are available to study the language. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
I am very happy with the lesson. The audio part is excellent because it allow you to speak instantly. I am very please with the lesson and i would recommend any one wanting to learn the luggage to join. you want regret it. The beauty with it is you can download and lesson to it at any time you wish.
I really enjoy the dialogue in the beginning and the review helps a lot! The activity I feel helps me is getting involved with the dialogue and I can hear myself talk with the partner. I wish Rocket Language had a study guide or book to go along when I go out so I can review while traveling when there is no internet. Otherwise, love this program!

All of the interactive audio lessons can be downloaded to your device for offline use!
I have used a number of other language courses ( paid and free) and find Rocket languages the best, for a number of reasons:
There is a comprehensive set of different reinforcement tools to suit a person's learning style. I prefer the flip cards but the others are also beneficial.
I appreciate that the audio lessons are separate from the culture/grammar lessons, so that one can easily dip in and out of the grammar as one wishes.
The ease of going back to earlier lessons to reinforce previous work if it is getting rusty!
The length of each lesson and the reinforcements are a sensible length - not too short but not too long to be daunting.
Oh - and the once off cost is much better than paying a regular fee!
I really enjoy using Rocket French. It is easy to use and they break down the learning for all levels. I found that by listening to it on my drive home really helps me speak it more fluently.
Merci!
