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.

Thank you for your kind words, Priscilla! We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying Rocket German. Welcome to the Rocket Community!
Over the last few weeks, I have tried most of the language learning apps, some of the best were Language transfer, Rosetta stone and Pimsleur. Then I took the recommendation from a youtube channel, on faith I bought the rocket language course, and I can honestly say that none of those other apps are really even very close. Rocket language is where you want to be if you're serious. Much more thorough, like you're taking it seriously. Those other apps will teach you to speak, Rocket will teach you everything from writing, reading, speaking, very efficiently and quickly.

I have just started the program, so don't have clear opinions for the start rating yet...my only immediate suggestion would be to include the gendered article when you introduce a noun. I know it's adding to the things a newbie needs to deal with, but learning the articles at the same time might lessen mistakes later.

Welcome to the Rocket German community, Barbara! Thank you for your suggestion. While gendered articles are an important grammar topic, we want to ensure that learners fully understand how this feature works. That's why we dedicate a full lesson to it in Module 2. If you're already familiar with topics like this, feel free to jump ahead in the course to a section that suits you!
was great. was cool. was totally tubular. was gut.

We love Rocket German too! Welcome to the Rocket Languages family.
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).
The price is also very hefty for the course. The ~250 EUR I paid should be some family package with 4-6 members (with separate progress tracking). An advertisement supported version would also be appreciated.

Thank for taking the time to share your thoughts on the course; it's great to hear that you generally enjoy the course. Regarding the flashcards and speaking exercises, there will be a notation visible to use as hints for you to know which version of the word "you" to use. We recognize that some lessons can be long but that is because we pride ourselves on comprehensiveness, the lessons will always save your place in them if you choose to leave and come back at a later date. We hope you continue to get the most out of your Rocket German course.
One of the best if not the best medium for learning new languages systematically. Seamless and easy to use interface. Emphasis on speaking and many notes on grammar which is not found in different platforms. Highly recommend for people who wanna learn the language up to advanced level
