First of all, In the middle of exercises (as I'm trying to speak a German phrase) I get annoying popup windows asking me to write a review of Rocket German. I think that's pretty indicative of how much Rocket cares about me actually learning, an how much it just wants more business. In fact, just above this box where I'm typing, Rocket has a link to some "example reviews" which are glowing reports of how when you buy RG, all your wildest fantasies will come true. Since RG insists, though, here is my review...***

Right after I paid $250 dollars for the three German courses (the first of which I didn't even want, but you have no option to remove it from the bundle) I get directed to another page telling me I should really also buy another add-on course that normally costs $50, but they're going to give it to me for $30. Classic used-car salesman tactic. I decline. I'm directed to another page saying "Ok, we'll give it to you for $20, but only if you buy it right now. No kidding, this is your last chance!" Does it get any more sleazy than that?***

The German course was clearly written by native German speakers, which is good, but not really checked by a native English speaker for the quality of the English dialogue.

A great way to learn any language. Its fun, hilarious, and I would recommend it to all my friends. Its simple, and you can learn so many things. With all the fun games and activities, I would definitely use it again.

This course is first rate, first class "stuff". Easy to use, easy to navigate through the lessons, and Rocket French really does the job. It's worth every single centime.

Microphone does not pick up short words, so it is impossible to check pronunciation on basic language units. Especially debilitating for Chinese learners where tonal pronunciation is crucial.

There is very little teaching. Provided flash card sets dumping 30 new terms with no organization, no intuitive backbone reflective of that of the language itself makes me question the expertise of the instructors. This weakness is also reflected in sloppy errors: voice lines which don't match the text underneath, an occasional condescending tone to the learner, and statements that words completely new to the learner were already covered in previous lessons when they were not.

This software would be acceptable if it was free, but given the high price, it's quality does not justify a purchase.

I usually have a difficult time with most language learning methods (like a certain one that rhymes with "Bobetta Fone"!), but Rocket's method fits my learning style perfectly! As a foreign language teacher, I highly recommend it!

I'm very happy with Rocket German Premium. After only a few days learning I have seen a great improvement. Can't wait to finish all the lessons. Everything is like playing a game and that works perfectly for me. Customer service is also very helpful.

It's actually useful and good than I thought. I decided to buy Rocket courses according to friend's advice, and I have no regret. I will learn spanish and french with rocket after I will complete english course.

I think this would be the best choice for you guys who wants to learn korean. They have the well structure for the beginner. And now my friend and I are using this learning system together, it helps us to figure out how to pronounce the correct accent in korean.

I have been studying Rocket German for about a year and a half. I did, however, get away from my studies for 3-4 months, for personal reasons. When I returned to my studies I began by reviewing previous lessons. I was very surprised how much I remembered. This I would have to say supports how effective the material is in the way it is presented...I was not expecting to have retained so much of what I had studied, after being away from the course for so long. The course is definitely worth the money and I have recommended it to several other people
