Has anybody completed an entire Rocket course (of any language)? What level were you at after finishing the course?

Hello,

 

I don't know if I've ever seen feedback or comments from somebody who has actually completed all the levels of a Rocket Language course. As somebody who is looking to jump back into language learning (specifically Spanish), I'm curious how far a Rocket Language course will take you. 

 

Is there anybody here who has completed a Rocket Language course? If so, what level were you at that language (ie. an estimate of your CEFR level…A1, A2, B1, etc…)? How was your reading, writing, and listening (I assume speaking would be poor if you haven't practiced outside of the course). Were you able to consume any native materials (newspaper, books, TV shows, movies, podcasts, radio)?

 

Thanks all!

I completed 3 levels of Rocket German and I found that I could make myself undertood at a basic level. I never did an exam but I was told I was approaching B1 but speaking was weak. I think this is the case with any internet course. 

You have to practice speaking on the fly, which is quite different from sitting and composing written sentences with plenty of time to think.

 

You can get private converstion lessons on iTalki but I found Easy German conversation membership the best value. 

 

You get almost daily moderated sessions in small groups - mostly 3 or 4. Some of the sessions are specifically for “beginners”.

Then there are daily free conversation sessions between memebers which are very welcoming.

 

There are lots of other things which I won't go into, but this isn't for compete beginners, you probably A2 at least.
