I would like to see a way to mark the place where I left off in the audio.

Hi Richard - The system "remembers" where you are when playing an audio track. So, when you go back in you should see it ready to start from where you left off. If this isn't happening for you then please contact customer support and we will have a look at what's going on!
I really am enjoying the course so far! I do miss the old "write it" sections from the 2020 website though. They were really helpful in reinforcing the new concepts and I hope they return in the future. The "sort it" sections just don't help as much.
I think I found an error in the second lesson --- "Du sprichst gut Deutsch" is ungrammatical -- it should be either "Du sprichst gutes Deutsch" or "Du sprichst gut deutsch"
The set-up seems great and I think there's a lot to learn here but if there are simple errors like that already I'm not sure how much I trust the whole program.

Hi Robin - Nope, what we have is correct! Du sprichst gut Deutsch "You speak German well (literally: You speak well German)" and Du sprichst gutes Deutsch "You speak good German" are both grammatical sentences; they both appear in phrase boxes in the lesson and are explained briefly in the audio. In both sentences, we're talking about the language (das Deutsch), which means that it is a noun and it must be capitalized. The word deutsch without a capital would be an adjective. In the first sentence, gut "well" is an adverb that is modifying sprichst "speak" and in the second sentence, gutes is an adjective that is modifying Deutsch. I hope that's helpful!
This was an amazing experience until the 2021 update, which reformatted all of my notes, and pretty much trashed a year of work. UGH.

Hi Lee - We fixed the issues you were having. It is all sorted now!
thanks you so much. this is a nice class and exercise, I need more practice I like speak english.
I love Germany and l am revising my conversational German which is not so good .l intend to purchase the course today after finishing the free lessons.
I love it!
I Enjoy this Rocket language,
And also its super exciting and greatful..
I think RS is trying to do too much. Needs to be shorter. If you follow the lesson plans now, it takes 2-3 hours to fully complete a lesson. That’s too much for the average person. You might consider having stages of lessons - a shorter test section then another layer for those who have more time. Flash cards should note be 68. Maybe 20 of the most important, for example.
Love the narrative lessons, they are perfect.
Chill and I want to keep learning, but i have to write this review
I thought all the lessons would be audio such that you could listen in your car or with headphones while working out or walking but some require you to read and hear. I think even alphabet, numbers and grammar can all be made in an audio version. Also, I do not like the fact that you can’t stop and review an audio lesson. At least on an iPhone you can't just stop a lesson and go back to the beginning. You have to let it play out until the end to start over.

Hi Looman - Thanks for your review. The grammar (Language & Culture) lessons have a lot more English explanations and tables that don't work well as just audio. On the iphone app, you need to expand the player at the bottom of the screen. With that you can use the slider to move through the audio!
