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 30 min 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 it's a really good course and good value.
Cheers

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!
I want to go to Japan as a study abroad option in college, so I thought I should get a head start on the grammar and vocabulary before starting at University. The grammar and culture lessons are very understandable and all my prior knowledge about Japanese Culture aligns with what Rocket Japanese has to say. It is one of the more expensive platforms out there, but if you are serious about learning Japanese, know that this website has put time into their course to make sure you learn to whatever level you want and at any pace you want.
Overall this is a very good program.
*I compare this with DuoLingo online learning as well as a personal coach I use with Verbling. Also against Babble
which I used for 6 months.
*Price is kind of high but it is for a complete program so I'm neutral on this rating.
*Lessons are interesting. I could use less of the banter but still, very good content when focused on actual language
skills. Of great importance to me are the moderators speaking in a clear and moderate speed. Rocket delivers on
this!
* Now to my most concerning (to me) knock...Some of the exercises are terribly long in the Language and Cultural
sections. It's not uncommon to have 50, 60 or greater than 70 words, phrases or sentences to learn, memorize and
recite back. Personally, I get very frustrated when i fail due to sheer volume of material. Knowing how difficult and
frustrating these exercises are, I have to fight the urge to simply by-pass these sections. Reducing the volume within
Language and Cultural modules would be a huge plus for me.

Hi Fred - Thanks for the feedback! Regarding your point about the length of the lessons, we are currently reviewing all of the Language & Culture lessons, and the amount of phrases is one thing that we will be looking at. In saying that, having an abundance of phrases to learn is not a bad thing!
I love the conversational set-up, the practicality and the practice provided, speaking, listening, spelling, flash cards, quiz! Love it all!

We love hearing this, Judith; thank you! It’s great to know you’re enjoying the conversational approach and the variety of practice tools. Speaking, listening, spelling, flash cards, and quizzes all play a part in reinforcing what you learn. We're so glad it's all clicking for you!
I love rocket french, it is easy to work with and you will understand the language of your choice in a way that you will enjoy learning.
Great tool to learn Spanish. I would recommend learning the verbs, pronouns, and culture before starting the course.
After a few weeks of the course, I'm already able to understand parts of Spanish conversations.
Speaking will be another challenge of its own....
I also use a separate flashcard application. This is my first time learning Spanish and the fact that it's just audio makes it easy to do my learning every day.

Thanks so much for your review, JT! As well as our audio lessons, the Rocket Spanish course comes with around 30 Language and Culture lessons per level. These grammar lessons, together with the audio, will hopefully give you the confidence you need to start speaking Spanish! All the best with your lessons, and don't hesitate to contact the Customer Support team if you need any help.
This course helps me see where I go wrong which is oh so useful!

We're all about getting you to speak fluently so it's great that all the features are helping you. All the best!
Good course, with a few issues. The module one sections 1.5 and up, dealing with articles, nouns, pronouns, etc. really need more development. There is a ton of important grammar in there but it is dealt with too lightly, and has way too much unfamiliar dialogue thrown in that is above level 1. This has been a major stumbling block for me. Level 2 hardly touches on these topics. It seems like Rocket dropped the ball on this section. I'll keep flipping back and forth between sections to try and make sense of it!
