Rocket German Reviews

Rocket Languages made me to reconnect with my Mutter (die long time ago, when I was a baby). She went from Germany to Chile, with her parents, and had five German-Chilean kids ( I am the youngest). I was losing the language and now is coming back and I feel that I can talk to her.
I am teaching a little bit to one of my grandsons, so he also has a connection with the past. I am grateful and happy at my old age.

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.

I like how everything is organized on the site. I like the features i.e language and culture lessons, My Forum, the tests, the games, survival kit, and My Vocab. For me Rocket German is the way to go for language learners. I do not know how else to learn a language!

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.

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 :)

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

Great language learning tool. The fact that they have a native speaker teaching us in audio lessons really helped with my pronunciation. New vocabulary is learned with new words woven into each lesson. Rocket German ist ein gutes Werkzeug!

Before subscribing to Rocket German, I had tried for years, off and on, to learn German. I read primers, readers, phrase books, listened to CDs and even took the first two levels of Rosette Stone, but I never really got much past the basics. I could read some, but couldn't understand it when it was spoken, and had difficulty communicating in anything except very simple phrases.

Now, with Rocket, I can feel myself finally rising above that basic plateau. I suppose one could say it was my fault for not working harder and that would be true. I didn't work hard enough. I realize now I am working much harder than previously, but the thing is, with Rocket it doesn't seem like such hard work.

The thing about Rocket, I think, that makes it so effective is that it is structured in a multi dimensional way that keeps your interest and provides the tools and exercises to accommodate various learning styles. Some times my brain hurts and I have to take a break for a day (just like working out at the gym), but I never get bored. Besides the lessons, I find that I enjoy the forum. That actually surprised me because I'm not a social networking sort of guy. However, it is a good way to ask specific questions of a language expert, share problems with other students, and meet some interesting people. I think Rocket is a great course and a great buy.

Much better than both Fluenz and Rosetta Stone, and that's based solely on content and methodology. The value, too, is superior. Once you purchase Rocket Language, they offer you immediate discounts for both the premium plus and platinum editions. Great material. Great value.

This is a great learning source for a ton of languages! This allows you to learn great! Paul and Nik always review what you have learned so you remember. My Level is a great way to test your skills! Let's blast off into language learning!
