I have been using Rocket German for a while. It's very helpful for beginner who doesn't have previous German knowledge before, since Rocket German break the conversation and the grammar in a small step that is easier to understand. The host encourage us to practice the conversation ourselves a lot which is great in learning language since it's a language if we learn how to speak it.
Will be best if Rocket German can add more materials in future such as, interview topic and more other formal usage in workplace with colleague/superior and other more serious topics like economy. Recommend Rocket German to people who'd like to learn new language.
So far so gut, need to check further lessons though as this is just the second on Module 1 Starter
I just started with this course and I find the content really comprehensive. Exercises are nicely structured and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. BUT! (now for the bad part):
FOR GOD SAKE, please reduce the narrator content. She just keeps blabbering in English and even in the first lesson it starts to feel unnatural and annoying. Lessons are 30 min long and they could be half that size if she just stops her completely unnecessary commentary. I REALLY hope she will just stop talking in more advanced lessons and I will hear more German. As you can see I am really annoyed with that haha.
All in all it's a really good course and good value.
Cheers

Hi Andrija - Level 1 of Rocket German is a beginners course so there is more explanations in English and less German as it can be overwhelming if there was too much German. As the course progresses there is more German and less English!
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.
What an experience learning with Rocket languages has been. I feel it has greatly enhanced my conversation skills and I am now more confident with my trip to Germany I would certainly recommend this to my friends.
Auf Wiedersehen
Rocket German is a great German learning course. The lessons cover the most common life situations, although sometimes more examples of different variations of the same situation would be nice. I like that there are two indicators how well you know a certain lesson ("hear it", "learn it"), which is useful for tracking to your progress.
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 :)
Saudações,
Meus estudos da língua alemã com o pessoal da Rocket Languages foi a solução e o método que encontrei para contornar um problema pessoal que ocorria frequentemente comigo, pois a confusão da língua alemã com a língua inglesa me era bastante frequente. Assim, optei por estudar alemão lançando mão de traduções e explicações justamente em inglês. Ajudou-me um bom tanto e tem sido bem eficiente para reduzir, e em alguns aspectos até eliminar, as confusões que eu comumente fazia.
Grato a todos.
Marcos.
Rocket Languages is a wonderful interactive online tool to study and practice a new language. It offer a large variety of exercises to improve in writing, listening and speaking. The exercises are with increasing difficulty, so that anybody. There is space also for the grammar of the language. However, the main focus is on minimizing the time needed to start and being able to use a language. It's definitely a modern and funny approach to language-learning!
I would like to see a way to mark the place where I left off in the audio.

Hi Richard - The system "remembers" where you are when playing an audio track. So, when you go back in you should see it ready to start from where you left off. If this isn't happening for you then please contact customer support and we will have a look at what's going on!
