Rocket German Reviews

Extremely satisfied! Unlike other apps I have used Rocket teaches you WHY you are saying what you're saying instead of just rote memorization. It accomplishes this by giving you structure and rules to go along with the words. The progression from Lesson, Flashcards, Listening, Writing and Speaking is very effective!
I am using Rocket for both German and French and will continue to do so!

Excellent course, I'm a complete beginner and I really like the speak and repeat format. After just one week I feel a lot more confident in my ability to learn german.

Voice recognition is not very good. Results are erratic.

I am in the last (7th) Module of Level 1.

Generally, I like the course because it is very structured and explains language concepts very well. I like that there are dedicated grammar lessons that clearly concentrate on building your grammar foundations. A complete opposite of Duolingo which has no grammar explanations at all.

Some people find the humor in the course stale but I have no issue with it (not great but not bad either, tolerable).

The course does a pretty bad job in all flashcards and speaking (translation) exercises when the "you" word needs to be translated into German (translates to one of "du", "ihr", "Sie"). None of them are commented so you just make frustrating mistakes. There should be clear hints what is expected there.

The lessons are generally very long (often takes an hour to finish) which is not great. I think they should be broken up to smaller lessons that are no longer than 30 minutes. Due to the long time required to finish a lesson, I often cannot finish one during a single day and can only do the remaining part next day.

The Android app has been rewritten since I started the course and it is much better now (huge improvement there, congrats to the devs).

Really the Rocket Languages courses are very very useful and have the best way to learn, I got a lot of words and statements from the first time I used it. I am sure the Rocket Languages are best way anyone needs to learn any language especially German ... thanks a lot Mr. Paul

I have now completed the 2nd Level from the Rocket German courses and have been really happy with my progress.The audio courses are interesting and they really help with my progress. I have now got the 3rd level and will be getting started straight away!

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.

Rocket Languages is very good for speaking learner

The course has a good approach to use various methods to reinforce learning and make it practical and effective. With Rocket Language I'm learning and progressing toward language fluency. One big downside is the abysmal speech lesson functionality. Often you're marked as correct despite not saying the phrase accurately, completely, or even in the expected language. And you're given insufficient time to say phrases with more than ~7 words as it cuts off and marks you as correct. For the price these issues are unacceptable and must be resolved.

Great course. lots of options for practice, covers language, grammar, and some culture.
