Rocket German Reviews

Being married to a German, and working for a German company, I have the pleasure of traveling to Germany for 2 weeks (or more) every year. For years, I tried to learn enough German to not embarrass myself while visiting.

After trying to teach myself with free online websites, I decided I wanted to learn bad enough to spend some money on a quality product, so I tried Rosetta Stone. Man, I kick myself every day for wasting my money on that crap. There are no rules, and nothing is ever explained, so I found myself more confused and frustrated than ever. Admittedly, I learned a few words and phrases, but never enough to confidently put together a real conversation. I mean, how often do you say "The boy runs" or "The man sleeps" in everyday conversation? I finished the whole first section, and could not hold an everyday conversation with my wife.

Next, I tried the Pimsleur Approach. This was 100 times more useful than Rosetta Stone (but still on the pricey side). However, since it's all audio, you don't get to see the words and phrases that you're learning and, to me, that is helpful. Also, the whole first lesson is basically learning phrases for business travel.

Customer service and the 6 day preview actually helped me make my decision to go with Rocket Language. It's comprehensive, varied learning methods, and very user friendly. I've already started using it and am only 3 lessons in! Highly recommended.

Seem to be a very useful tools to learn German language. My advice is to try it periodically and after a while you will observe that your proposition in German will be done instantly. Use it and go ahead.

As a new user of Rocket Languages - German online course, I am pretty excited and looking forward to learn a new language. My target is to learn it very fast so that I can start speaking to my German friends. What I like about the course is its structure, content, possibility to tag information (so that I can review later), update notes on a chapter, tests at the end of each module.

I would like to keep the momentum high in learning German language and will come back soon with additional hints & reviews. I would have no hesitation to recommend Rocket Languages to my friends & family

One of the best sites I have come across, wherein I can learn a basic language at my leisure time free of cost. Its audio lessons makes it more easier to learn pronunciation of the language. Its PDF format lesson that can be printed or saved to retrieve it latter for learning. Thanks.

Really effective way to learn! I recently purchased this online and after I started learning, I couldn't stop! The German course is really nice and interactive. The interactive audio I was able to download so that when I am on the bus or waiting somewhere, I am able to learn some German. I enjoy the way German is taught using Rocket German, using audio courses unlike some other language teaching programs which uses software. I also really enjoy the games and flash cards that I am able to use to help learn.
Because I travel a lot, I like the mobile app that I can use on my tablet or smartphone.

This program has been very helpful for me. I studied German grammar with another book before using this program, but I found that unless I learned how to speak the language, I wasn't going to be able to remember vocabulary. Rocket German has been very helpful with pronunciation and a basic introduction to the language (after all, I'm still only on the Premium level). I very much appreciate the interactive lessons and how I'm able to repeat myself a number of times so that the pronunciation sticks. The only improvement would be to include more writing exercises. The only writing exercise in the program is to write in German a phrase that the program says in German. It would be very helpful to include an exercise that makes you write in German either what is written or what is spoken in English. Otherwise, I've very much enjoyed using the program, and I think it has been very helpful thus far! Regarding the price, I think it is fairly low compared to other language learning programs, but I was somewhat upset that I only had one chance to purchase the Premium Plus or the Platinum level at the discounted price. After all, how could I possibly know that I would want all three levels without having used the program for some time? Anyway, the price for the Premium level was very good, but I'm not sure that I'd pay another $150 for the Plus or $300 for the Platinum.

This product is amazing! I needed to learn German to begin my PhD, and having to already master several dead languages, I was worried about starting a modern language. Rocket Languages' German program not only helped me begin my PhD journey, but they are making the experience fun and so simple. I am not just spending hours a day memorizing vocabulary, but I am interacting with German speakers and improving my pronunciation and spelling. From day one, I was able to speak and understand German, even if it was only a basic conversation. I have never studied a language where I could communicate after the first lesson. If you are considering buying this product, please do so, it is wonderful and worth every penny.

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

I find this an excellent in depth course and I am using it as my joint main study course with ProSpanish and Lightspeed Spanish. I have the best of both worlds: Latin American and Castilian Spanish. My only regret is that my study time is reduced with my wide net of study materials. Compounded by my studies in Rocket German simultaneously. I particularly enjoy the facility of being able to playback phrases and sentences that enable me to enhance my pronunciation. My studies are becoming more centred around this tool. With all three levels to cover in my two courses with Rocket I look forward to a continuing stimulating and colourful experience.
