Having spent hours researching various language applications I chose Rocket German. It's an amazing, comprehensive course at an excellent price. Other courses cost as much for just 12 months!
I know a little German, picked up from travelling, but wanted to learn the language properly. I started only last week and have whisked through several lessons already and am astonished at how much I've learned - and retained. I'm not far off 70 so didn't expect to be able to learn so quickly but just by hearing and repeating words and phrases, they seem to stick so I wake up with odd words and phrases in my head. Of course, some words/phrases need more rehearsing than others but you can't expect to learn without effort!
The only issue I have, and I think this is because of how my brain is wired, is that when faced with sentences containing 'an', 'im' 'am' I really need to know when and why each is used; it's these little words that catch me out. I need an explanation of their usage to help me work it out because it's so hard to simply remember by phrase and I'm so eager to be able to apply the structure to new sentences. I'm certain that this is a grammar lesson that will follow later but I feel I need this now.
Listening to different German speakers is incredibly helpful. I realize that I've picked up bad habits and this is helping me to adjust my pronunciation quite quickly.
Overall, brilliant course. Can't recommend highly enough.
Totally worth it. I was skeptical because rocket language is a huge name so there's of course going to be some mixed reviews out there (which I looked into). And honestly I can say the bad reviews are just so ridiculous, and some people just expect language courses to fit their VERY exact needs as if the platform should be sculpted around their brain. Personally, i'm very particular about learning a new language considering my short attention span with academics. I needed something that didn't feel like flat out studying and homeworky. But this really is a solid course for sure and my motivation to hop onto rocket doesn't fade each day because it's not just simply studying vocabulary and phrases over and over again. The platform and teaching style is very effective for me, especially since the different review tools/ activities after the lesson isn't as simple as just flashcards or whatever. It really helps you nail down the material from each lesson.
I am taking the German level 1. I did study German in school 30years ago. That said I haven't used it since so that is alot of rust. The we learned back then was vocabulary then simple sentence like 'See Spot run.'. I felt that this was more converstational and more useful than 3 years of highschool German. I also like the fact they give you some normal German saying versus the formal style I learned. I feel after lesson 1, I could atleast not embarass myself and look forward to building on that foundation.
J'aime Rocket français parce que cela me permet de parler non seulement lire les mots d'un livre . chose que je que ce site sera une croissance monumentale pour moi. Merci pour la création de ce site .
I love Rocket French because it allows me to speak not just read the words from a book. I thing that this website will be a monumental growth for me. Thankyou for creating this website.
Outstanding language course. I love the explanations of Italian culture and the conversations. I'm so pleased I have finally started learning Italian!
This is the most fun course in Languages I have ever taking.I recommend this course for anyone that wants to learn a foreign language.The way in which they break down the phrases makes it easier to remember. I can login from any computer from anywhere makes it very convenient to study
Rocket Korean is the best learning software for beginners interested in learning the Korean language. The lessons are very thorough on pronunciation and the games help a lot for memorizing. I really liked how there are lessons for learning culture to help understand the language more effectively.
I really enjoy just plunging right into conversational Arabic and leaving the grammar till later. It seems more like the way children learn their own language. I like the way the speakers are energetic and optimistic!
I strongly agree with another reviewer who asked that there be a bar on the side of the page that refers to previous vocabulary - so we don't have to scroll up-up-up to find the words we're looking for. You mentioned that you will be adding this feature soon, but his question was about Rocket Spanish. Will my course (Rocket Arabic) be getting this feature also?
I have one more request. Is there some way to help us learn how to say the handful of "confused for each other" sets of letters in the Arabic alphabet? Like a video or a medical-type cartoon showing the position of the tongue etc when pronouncing these letters? The letters whose sounds don't appear in English are very frustrating. Just listening to them over and over is not helping me say them correctly. Kind of discouraging!
Overall I'm really enjoying the course though. Definitely the best approach to language I've ever experienced!

We will be displaying the vocab in the sidebar soon for all languages. And with regards your Arabic specific comments; I will put this to our linguistic experts and see what they say!
It's surprising how quickly you start to form sentences using Rocket Arabic! The repetition of certain words and concepts in successive lessons really helps to solidify your Arabic foundation. Also, it's easy and enjoyable to use. If you would like to learn a language quickly and easily, this is the product to use!
i have the free trial so i cannot give a full review on the whole expression. but with what i have been able to learn with the trial is incredible. i love the structure of the lessons and how organised it is. you are encouraged to improve and motivated to keep going. at first i did not understand a few things so i would rate as low and i surprisingly found out that they kept repeated the sentences i rated as low until ii could finally rate it as high meaning i had successfully learnt that sentence. i really like this method of teaching. after i have completely finished my trial i will most defiantly consider buying this. first i have to save up a bit, but i feel if you really want to learn and are willing to pay this is defiantly the site to use i am so happy i stubbled on it by accident lol.
