Rocket German Reviews

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.

The course is so helpful, I've been studying with it for 18 days at the time of writing this review and It's probably the first time I managed to learn +10 words a day consistently ever since I started learning German 9 months ago. Do I recommend the course? Yes 100% because it saves you time and energy that would otherwise be wasted on looking for resources or relying on unorganized studying. two things I wasn't a big fan of about this course are 1:there is a considerate amount of typos I have noticed in the audio lesson subtitles like how they kept writing "ausserdem" instead of "außerdem" in the lesson called "renting an apartment". and 2: sometimes they don't explain enough during the lesson which can leave the student confused and asking the question "why is it this way?" but my advice is to ask chat gpt for more clarification about what you may struggle to understand during the audio lessons, the language and culture lessons are also very effective in teaching grammar as well as new vocabulary and expanding general knowledge, customer service is amazing. Thank you Rocket Languages for making German learning easier.

Like it so far, having a bit of trouble with the speaking part.

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.

I am satisfied with the service and I have a suggestion what can be improved further. I like the idea of a comprehensive course available at any time. What I miss is downloadable audios - not the dialogues, but the phrases. The phrases are extremely important and helpful in learning a language. I could easily skip dialogues (I don't), let alone those long 25-minute audios with lots of talk in English (enjoyable but mostly waste of time to be honest, too much of unnecessary chatter). So far I have been sitting in front of my monitor for hours to learn the language, staying focused which is a key to learning. But this is such a luxury which you only enjoy in rare periods during your annual cycle. Most of the time you end up downprioritising the language course due to other urgences. I could use recorded phrases - all of them in a lesson or, even better, those I mark with a star for my own collection which also is a nice service - to listen to them while I have no time to sit down at my desk.

The strengths: - The program is mainly focused on learning useful German from the beginning, familiarising the user with common interactions they might have early on.
- The podcasts are entertaining and stop the learning process from becoming boring.
- Easily recommendable, and from what I have heard from reviews of the product, Rocket Languages seem to care about improvements.

The weaknesses: I might be wrong on this, but I feel that a basic explanation of conjugations comes too late, and at first you are forced to entirely learn new words and not to figure out that a lot of different words are just conjugations of one word. For me, I was already familiar with German so this wasn't a problem. I would then recommend to anyone who is using this product and is completely new to German, to learn about basic sentence structure and conjugations from other sources to aid this course.

Very pleased with the learning experience, the range of spoken and written exercises is very good, definitely a great way to learn a foreign language.

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

i find rocket german super .i go to a german class i can not understand the teacher rocket german helps a lot in two month with rocket german i learn slangs and some germans culture and they break it down to your level and everyday activities good job

I love the challange that this product provides. It makes you think outside a normal learning experience and , I think, provides a greater understanding of the language in order to communicate more naturally
