Rocket German Reviews

I'm impressed by the clever and practical approach in the Rocket German audio lessons. The "Nik-Paul" conversations are full of humor that makes it more than palatable to repeat the lesson as often I need to. The suggestions for using new words and phrases in situations beyond the ones specifically addressed in the lesson help expand my horizons and enhance the value of each lesson. The written materials complement the conversations and are organized into manageable chunks. Between those and the chances to self-test online with comprehension and pronunciation, the course goes the extra mile in encouraging me to push myself.

So far, I've been enjoying the Rocket German course, I like it for interactivity which it provides and that one feels like speaking with a real person/s. I particularly appreciate an availability to pace up my learning, i.e. that I can get back in week or later and continue exactly where I stopped the last time. Also the progress interface and badges are helpful and motivating. I would just advice to keep working on written material (perhaps to provide some additional text related to given topic) and on recording interface which gets messy from time to time. As a whole I do not regret the money I spent for this course and I can recommend it :)

I had spent a year learning German from a book which suited me as a visual learner. BUT, the sounds and ability to speak everything I was learning seemed impossible! Rocket German has been amazing and I am able to move the words from my mind and into my mouth and so speak everything I have learnt in the course so far. The book has become neglected as I feel that I am improving much more with Rocket

Awesome web site :D now it's easier for me to learn German from my laptop :3 i just loved it so much ^__^ ...[Uh, I need 95 more characters... so here we go -__-] !!! Why the hell should I write 200 characters .. Whatever !! xoxo

As a youngster could only speak German. Had to learn English in grade school. Now 60 some years later can hardly recall any German. Am enjoying reliving my youth by going back to my roots and relearning German.
Danke, Rocket Languages

I like the ability to hear the words spoken and the games to help you remember how to spell a word or put them in the correct order with the phrase. I like to be able to see how the words I am pronouncing are spelled, it helps me remember them better. The format of teaching took some getting use to because it is different than the way I was taught in school. This is my third language , I know enough to get by and as usual can read and comprehend better than speak . Hopefully with this course I can change that and be able to respond and not have such a hard time speaking conversation . We leave for Germany in 8 months , so hopefully I can say something besides I don't speak german

After letting my learning slide for a few months I have returned to the site. I really like the many new features. I find the experience very worthwhile and am now hoping to get the most out of the course.

I've tried other courses, learning some German but always struggled. This course has staying in my memory from the very first lesson and I'm very pleasantly surprised. It can be a little intense covering a lesson in full - I have chronic fatigue - but it's worth the hard work. Even with my problems, I'm learning solidly. The case system always broke me because it's taught too rigidly. I'm already using prepositions correctly when talking to myself around the home because Rocket appears to be teaching me to hear what's right or not. Glad I didn't quit and signed up to Rocket instead.

I am having a lot of fun with Rocket German, and next, Rocket Spanish. This program is pretty great. I hope lots of people make use of it. Other programs I have tried did not compare.

It is a usefull language learning system, I especially like the MP3 files, however I have spotted a few problems with the website, these are: Unit = 2.11 the website says metro = Underground however it Should be = metro = meter & Underground = metropolitan Its ok to put in names & so not translate them - But not ok to say a name is a translation when it is not. Unit = 2.12 the website says Lavoro manuale = Labor however it Should be = Lavoro manuale = manual work & Lavoro = Labor Unit = 2.13 the website says Quant'è? = How much does it come to? however it Should be = Quant'è? = How much? & venuto a = come to Unit = 3.4 the website says Abbastanza = Fairly bad. however it Should be = male = bad Unit = 3.4 the website says Allora riposa e cerca di dormire. = Ok then, have a rest and try to sleep. however it Should be = Ok then, have a rest = Ok allora, avere un periodo di riposo Unit = 3.7 the Problem is English words on wrong (italian) side for: ham, cabbage & she arranges Unit = 3.7 the Problem is all più words have extra letters in them = più Unit = 3.7 the Problem is ' is confusing in It's hotter (more hot) today than yesterday.
