Rocket German Reviews

Rocket German is AWESOME! (I have always wanted to learn German, as my grandmother was German.) The lessons and online resources are incredible!!! I am now easily learning German on a professional basis! I truly believe that this is definitely the best money that I ever spent on myself!!!

I moved to Germany with my (then) boyfriend, to learn more about him and his family/home/friends. I had no German at all and had to learn everything from scratch. I completed an intensive course through the local Volkshochschule and started working at the DeutschePost with my limited language. We stayed for 6 months and I wanted to learn more, but had limited opportunity or know how, trying Berlitz (too condescending and not real, everyday language) and another course, also I bought grammar and verb books. Very patchy results. Then I stumbled upon Rocket German and tried the free trial, and signed up immediately after receiving only 3 of the free lessons. I was impressed with the immediate results and the ability to be flexible with the language. Over a period of 6 months I did the first level at Premium, and learnt enough German to speak with German customers in my role as a dive master in Thailand. My partner and I returned to Germany and were married there (keine Uebersetzung!) - I made a speech in German at my wedding and impressed everyone with how much my language had improved and deepened (und ich sagte "ja, ich will" and signed my life away! :) in German.

I love this system and am using it for my third language. I have used many other methods, including Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur and a two week language course in Italy and found the Rocket programs superior in that the grammar is part of the method, which is essential in becoming fluent in a language. The conversations are believable and typical of what one might need to say while traveling. They also provide a basis for formulating independent ideas for conversing while traveling. Bravo ... Sehr Gut ... Gracias !!!

I had spent a year learning German from a book which suited me as a visual learner. BUT, the sounds and ability to speak everything I was learning seemed impossible! Rocket German has been amazing and I am able to move the words from my mind and into my mouth and so speak everything I have learnt in the course so far. The book has become neglected as I feel that I am improving much more with Rocket

Love it. It's fun and so convenient. I carry my IPad with me everywhere so I have my Rocket German to study anytime I have extra time. I am also studying German grammar and vocabulary books, but Rocket German is by far the most fun and most effective.

I have tried learning languages years ago with books and tapes and more recently downloading files from Internet (Listening only, No text!) with mixed results. With Rocket Languages I sense that I am making better progress with more retention and importantly I am able to start thinking in German and not need to translate which is vital in achieving fluency.

Sehr gute arbeit Rocket languages!

Rocket German is one of the best investments I have made! The program has prepared me well for living in Germany.

My friends always comment about how natural my pronunciation sounds. I say it is thanks to Paul and Nik, and Rocket German!

Rocket Languages is simply the only way to go for travel to a foreign language speaking country! I bought both the French and the German programs. The ability to download the MP3 files onto an ipod and listen 24/7 with headphones over and over is very helpful to get the pronunciation right. I have worked much harder thus far on the French and am happy to relay my experiences from a trip to France. I found that I could speak some basic French reasonably fluently without much of an English accent, but I could not understand spoken French at the same level. The reaction from local people in Paris was exceptional - some wanted to try and switch to English so that they could practice it! One person was an Elvis impersonator and he wanted my husband and me to critique his (English) singing! And everyone helped and responded VERY positively. It makes taking a trip to a foreign country SO MUCH FUN!

I am really enjoying learning experience by Rocket languages, and I will definitely use it for other languages as well.

Initially it felt that it is not doing much good, but regularly listening to lessons and practicing has really improved my understanding greatly.

I simply love it and I will definitely recommend to my friends as well.

As a youngster could only speak German. Had to learn English in grade school. Now 60 some years later can hardly recall any German. Am enjoying reliving my youth by going back to my roots and relearning German.
Danke, Rocket Languages
