Rocket German Reviews

This course is great, the audio lessons make it walk in the park to learn the new language. Though i feel they could have made it a little more immersive. But at the end of it you will surely have enough German to get you through your first trip or your grammar book :).

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

While I am enjoying, and learning from Rocket language I have two major gripes. 1) Many of the conversations are between to native English speakers who do not pronounce like native Germans (Which is the goal of language learning) and the audio "lesson" can get rather tedious and forced sounding. 2) On many of the conversations, when you "play as..." if the person laughs, moans, chuckles, or makes other noncommittal noises, you still must sound exactly like they do to pass that section, even though I can intentionally mispronounce words in hard mode and it will pass me to the next section otherwise.

I really struggled to learn to speak German. So I tried a lot of different methods. Rocket German gave me a good initial foundation. It didn't help that much with the grammar though. After I learned more grammar I returned to Rocket German and went through the course again. It was really helpful then for learning colloquial phrases and improving my pronunciation. I'd say there's no easy way to learn German but to learn how to have a basic conversation in German, Rocket German is extremely useful.

Sometimes the written text does not exactly follow the verbal

I started with Rocket German several years ago but somehow got lost in the shuffle of time and situations. I have re-opened my account and find a completely new format so will have to browse the site extensively to feel comfortable but it looks very interesting and seems to have great potential. Thank you.

Rocket Spanish is quite engaging. It has a good mix of verbal, written and listening practice, addressing different learning styles. The balance between speaking and learning the grammar is excellent. Amy and Mauricio are excellent Spanish mentors whose voices are pleasant, easy to listen to and encouraging.

I liked the rocket learning German course quite a lot, the several types of ways it helps you learn, either through writing questions or having you verbally repeat it back to a microphone. This all contributed to high rates of retention of the words for myself.

Not the easiest to navigate, but sure beats the heck out of RosettaStone! Male voices seem to be easier to understand for me and would be nice to have the option of switching. Overall, a hearty thumbs up.
