“...most importantly for me, its fun. Im really enjoying doing the lessons; Im enjoying making the new sounds and learning the new words....”
Guten Tag, ich heiße Chris, ich komme aus New Zealand and I've been doing Rocket German Premium for about a month now.
I would definitely recommend it to other people and here are a few reasons why.
First and most importantly for me, it's fun. I'm really enjoying doing the lessons; I'm enjoying making the new sounds and learning the new words. The lessons are paced about right, it's not boring, but it's not overwhelming at the same time.
Also it's quite convenient. I can download the MP3's to my iPod and take them with me. I can download the PDF's to my laptop with the grammar exercises. And if I don’t have my laptop or my MP3 player on me, I can get them from the website which is a few clicks away. There's no bulky books or CD’s to carry around with me whenever I want them.
Also the course is really good value for money. I’ve done a few language courses before and they can be quite expensive.
I got a number of German friends where I live and I'm already trying out what I know on them, and that’s good fun.
In a months time I'm going to Europe. I'm going to Frankfurt, Berlin, Munich, Heidelberg and I really can't wait to practice what I know on my friends over there and the "man on the street". And I think the main benefit of this course is that now I have the confidence to do so.
I really enjoyed this course. I recommend Rocket German Premium and I think you'll like it too. So danke schön for listening to me auf Wiedersehen.
Chris Dawson.

“...the Rocket German Premium course you can expect and ease of learning that you dictate and does not dictate to you...”
Rocket German Premium has helped me in my general interactions with foreign tourists and visitors from around the world as well as locals who also speak the German language. Not to mention that when I take that European holiday I'll feel more at easy talking the lingo.I work shift work and attending classroom tutorials just wasn't convenient for me and a little bit too time consuming. By learning through Rocket German Premium I was able to get through the material when I wanted to and at a pace and learning style that was comfortable for me.
If you have friends or family that want to learn a foreign language, then I would recommend that they get in on the act and you learn it together, this will only enhance your Rocket Language learning experience and make it so much easier for you and your study buddy or buddies to pick up on the German way of learning.
When you purchase the Rocket German Premium course you can expect an ease of learning that you dictate and doesn't dictate to you as well as a world opening up to you.
Auf Wiedersehen and have fun.

“...After just two weeks all I can say is its Awesome! I honestly cannot believe I lost my fear of speaking 100%!...”
| Click the button to hear Kelly : |
Hi my name is Kelly Scali. I just have to say that I am not the type of person to believe in something so much that I would do a testimonial. You always think that these things are a fake anyway.
But not in this case, I would absolutely recommend Rocket German Premium to anyone who wants to learn a language.
I have tried almost everything to learn German with no real success.
I took four semesters in college, adult classes, listened to CD's, played computer programs, had books galore and just couldn't master it, not even with German speaking mom or fiance. I just couldn't grasp it and I was so afraid to sound ridiculous until Rocket German Premium.
Just to give you a little background, my mom was born in Germany and left when she was 21 to marry my American soldier father, so when she came to the U.S. she was so set on learning English that she didn't even want to teach my sister and I German, even though we went there regularly as kids.
As an adult I traveled there every year for the past six years and relied on everyone to speak English, which they did of course, but that didn't help. In fact I met my fiance there, so I realize I have to learn this language, even though he is fluent in English. Too embarrassed to allow him to teach me, to his frustration, I thought I would try one more thing. While searching I saw the Rocket German Premium link. After reading about it and then trying for the 6 free lessons, I was completely hooked. I knew I couldn't go wrong and the price was really reasonable.
So after just two weeks all I can say is its Awesome! I'm speaking and comprehending everything they teach, even my mom and my fiance are amazed and impressed on my progress, but mostly over the fact that I will speak to them now. My fiance is so happy because now I allow him to actually take me further with the language, and learn new things. And trust me, this is no easy task.
I know this sounds too good to be true, but believe me, it is. It's so much fun, and very interactive, and you actually feel like you are having a real conversation, which you are, with Nik and Paul the presenters..
I always felt that I wasn't learning real life language skills, and could never put it together. This course gives me exactly what I need. They teach real life situations, and don't bombard you with the grammar rules like classes and books do, but you still learn this stuff too. I do admit that having a bit of knowledge on some of the vocab and grammar helps, but it's not at all necessary with this course. It actually takes you step-by-step and you really do learn.
Every morning while I am getting ready for work, I start the lessons. I play the same lesson for two days before I moving to the next, and I always repeat the last lesson first to refresh my memory and keep the old stuff alive in my head. After every series I listen to the whole lesson one more time before moving onto the next level. I even print out the lessons and carry with me to study wherever I am. I know if I don't keep it up, I won't be able to keep it in.
My fear and embarrassment is what set me back and obviously hindered me from retaining anything. I honestly cannot believe I lost my fear of speaking 100%. I never in a million years thought it would be possible. I actually started to think I just didn't have the talent to learn another language but this course made me realize that I just wasn't learning it the correct way. The biggest benefit for me is to be able to get over the fear because I have Nik and Paul to talk to, so to speak.
I don't want anyone to take my word for it, they have to try it for themselves. You will, without a doubt, feel the same way, I guarantee it, and if you are still unsure, I'd be more than happy to give my email address to anyone that wants to hear it from me firsthand.
So, anyway, I just wanted to say "Thanks Rocket German Premium, this is really, really a great course"

“I would definitely recommend it to any one wanting to learn German; from beginners to those who have let their German skills lapse.”
It had been many years since I had made use of the German I learned at school. I initially had been fairly close to fluent but as I had not used it in years much of the grammar and vocabulary I had learnt had been forgotten.
Rocket German Premium rapidly helped me regain all the knowledge I had lost. It is basic enough for beginners but challenging enough for those wanting to re-establish their skills in German.
The interactive games make it more fun than any other online language course I have tried. The Interactive Audio Course was very comprehensive and the dialogue was easy to follow. Thanks to Rocket German Premium I regained the confidence to speak German with my friends and co-workers. I would definitely recommend it to any one wanting to learn German; from beginners to those who have let their German skills lapse.

“I find that Rocket German Premium has served me better than any of the others, including the one commonly used by the U. S. State Department.”
Having a knowledge of German - my father came from Germany - and having tried various commercial programs for bringing my fading German back to life, I find that Rocket German Premium has served me better than any of the others, including the one commonly used by the U. S. State Department.
The approach taken by the developers of Rocket German Premium is, in the current cliche, "user friendly."
In fact after trying only one of the free lessons, I bought the entire package - well worth the cost. I highly recommend it. By the way, I'm a retired professor of linguistics. I'm nearly 80 years of age, but still able to tell the good from the bad with respect to language education! Rocket German Premium is good!

“...Everyone who purchases Rocket German Premium will gain more than what they have spent. They will learn one of the most important languages in the world, and what is very important, having a lot of fun.... ”
I recommend the Rocket German Premium Course to everyone who wants to learn German in a fast and effective way, because I was speaking German from the very first lesson on. Yes, from the first introduction lesson on all and everyone can speak German and learn a lot as long as you advance to the next lesson.
When I was a little kid I used to travel with my family to the beautiful and lovely country of Switzerland and since then I always wanted to learn German and be able to communicate to those lovely and friendly people.
So when I was older I set myself the goal to learn German, no matter how hard it would be. I bought books, courses and I never got to say a word in German, very frustrating. A couple of months ago I was looking on the Internet for something else that would help me to learn German at last. I found the Rocket German Premium Course and I said why not? It looked good and I bought it. I can say this is the best money ever spent. If you wish to learn German like I did, buy the Rocket German Premium Course, you won't regret it, believe me.
With the books I bought before as well with some other course I learned a lot of grammar and vocabulary, grammar and vocabulary and that's it, but grammar and vocabulary are not very useful when you travel to a German speaking country or you want to talk to someone in German if you don't know HOW TO SPEAK. In this course I'm learning a lot- not just grammar and vocabulary but most importantly to SPEAK it.
I'm a Spanish speaker and I lived in the U.S.A. for a while, so I can also speak English. German is the language left for me to learn and I know that it is going to be very useful here at my work, since I'll be able to speak the most important languages here in Europe. I'll soon travel to Switzerland and Austria, and I'm really excited to use the little German I've learned so far.
Everyone who purchases Rocket German Premium will gain more than what they've spent. They will learn one of the most important languages in the world, and what is very important, having a lot of fun. The course does not only consist of audio lessons and written material, but has very fun games and more that will enrich the learning experience.
Thanks a lot for this opportunity.

Hi, my name is Casey, and I'm from Australia.
I've been using Rocket German Premium for just under two weeks now. I started off with the 6 day course, which is a great way to get the feel for Rocket German Premium.
Since I brought Rocket German Premium, I've progressed in learning German a great deal. I find Rocket German Premium fun and I'm motivated to listen and learn, and I get to join in, not just listen, which is great.
The Flashcards are fun and easy to use, actually everything about Rocket German Premium is fun and easy to follow. My favorite game is MegaAudio.
It has helped me a lot with hearing German and knowing what is being said to me. I find now when I listen to my favorite German group (band) I can pick words out and understand them. I'm not good with sticking to things, but with Rocket German Premium my mind is always stimulated and I'm never bored.
So here I am nearly two weeks later and mum and I are already having small conversations in German, which is so cool. I would recommend Rocket German Premium, not just because it's fun, easy to follow and the price is great, but because most of all it works.

“Rocket German Premium has to be the best way to learn the language”
Rocket German Premium has to be the best way to learn the language - I download the lessons to use in the car, as I drive a lot, so it's a really useful package. Having tried both successfully and unsuccessfully to learn new languages in the past, Rocket German Premium has been the easiest, most convenient format yet!

“...made me the person other travelers turn to for getting stuff!”
Hi guys
I have been traveling around Europe for the last couple of months and have been practicing my German extensively while I have been in Germany and Switzerland. Rocket German Premium has certainly helped me take leaps and bounds out of the learning process. I have found that I am ordering food and coffee with no problem at all and one of the best things is that the locals want to talk to me and find out what I am up to so I am finding a whole bunch of new experiences and great people!!
The best part of the course for me has been Nik and Paul's audio tracks, especially handy with the amount of traveling I have been doing. Finding my way round the post office and ordering wine (everyone leaves me to do it!) have made me the person other travelers turn to for getting stuff!
Thanks for putting together a great course that makes learning fun rather than a chore! Auf Wiedersehen,

“...I was amazed to find that Rocket German Premium actually got me speaking again... ”
I went to Germany on an exchange program and made loads of friends there. We seemed to be able to communicate very well in person, considering my German wasn't even as good as their English. (OK, so I knew how to say "Auf Wiedersehen!" and a few other words) We exchanged e-mails (though mine were more like one-liners) but I found I couldn't even write as much as I'd been able to say when I was over there, and you just can't point to something in an e-mail!
I really missed just speaking and saying German words, so was determined to put in the effort to learn enough to do this properly. I was amazed to find that Rocket German Premium actually got me speaking again. I find myself making up all sorts of sentences, based on the ones covered in the audio course, that actually apply to me, and with the grammar section, I'm much more confident at writing stuff down now, even if I don't get it exactly right. I checked out a few of the 'usual' learn German products, and nothing had anything like the real people you hear on Rocket German Premium, and it never feels like a chore to listen. (Quite funny, in fact).
I have already recommended Rocket German Premium to friends I know of, who also want to travel, especially the lazy ones, who won't read 'teach yourself...' books, even if they buy them. I'd definitely extend that recommendation to people I don't even know, because it really is great! You can do as much as you want at a time, go over new stuff as much as you like, and test yourself with the online games.
The course doesn't assume you know any German to start with, and they don't start referring to words with scary names either, like some books do, in fact, they even say that you don't have to know things like what nouns and verbs are, because they just describe it and give examples as they go. I reckon that if you didn't know any German at all, and say you booked a trip to go there a month later, you'd feel really confident by the time you got there. Two months and you'd be totally ready!
Well, I've booked my next trip already, I'll let you know how it goes... Thank you Rocket German Premium; I nearly lost contact with some good friends, but now I foresee lots more trips on my agenda!

“...he is speaking German, and I think we ordered this program about two weeks ago...”
I was calling to let you guys know that my son who is nine years old desperately wanted to learn German, and so we ordered the Rocket German, and he is like flying along with this language program, and it's an excellent program. I would recommend it to anyone, especially the kids.
He has uploaded it into his Media Player, and he listens to it constantly, all of the lessons, and he is speaking German, and I think we ordered this program about two weeks ago, and he is doing an excellent job.
So, thanks a lot guys. Bye Bye

“I was surprised to find it also includes colloquial expressions you can use in practically all day life situations!”

I study German at a private institute where I obtained an international certification last year. I am now ready to take the exam for the intermediate level thanks to Rocket German.
I never thought I would find myself learning confidently without even reading the grammar book that came along with the audio lessons but I certainly enjoy spending time with the interactive software.
All the contents are very well organized and comprehensive and they cover everything from beginner to advanced level. The course is ideal for those with a general understanding of the language that wishing to finally get the hang of it.
As you advance through the topics you'll discover you are learning with no effort! You'll be immerse in a wide variety of well reflected situations you're very likely to encounter when abroad, like booking or cancelling a hotel reservation or even flirting!!
I was surprised to find it also includes colloquial expressions you can use in practically all day life situations!
My understanding of spoken German has increased considerably ever since. You'll soon be speaking real German. That's why I recommend Rocket German on top of all other available courses that I tried.
I am now going through More Rocket German which is a highly satisfying experience. I sometimes can't wait for a new lesson the next day!
There's nothing like feeling you are making up your own sentences with natural confidence and interacting with no difficulty with native speakers, that's exactly what you can expect to gain with Rocket German.
Thanks, best regards,

“Before beginning Rocket German I got a B- on the first tape of me speaking German that I sent in to be graded. After listening to and practicing the Rocket German lessons, I got an A ...”
I began to learn German by starting an online independent study German language University course.
However the University course German audio lessons were extremely difficult to understand. So I got online and I searched for audio German lessons that I could understand, and found Rocket German which I am extremely happy with because Rocket German is very easy to understand.
Before beginning Rocket German I got a B- on the first tape of me speaking German that I sent in to be graded. After listening to and practicing the Rocket German lessons, I got an A on the next tape of me speaking German that I sent in to be graded.
I really appreciate how clearly spoken and easy to understand the Rocket German lessons are. I also really like being given the opportunity to speak the words after listening to the correct pronunciation and then being able to listen to the correct pronunciation again. I find this aspect of the Rocket German lessons extremely helpful in improving my pronunciation of the German words.
I also like the manner in which the actual literal meaning of the word is provided in the Rocket German lessons, which really helps me when I am trying to figure out how to correctly understand the German language both spoken and written.
I need to learn German in order to do family research on my German ancestors, as the records are written in German. The better that I can learn to speak and understand German the better understanding I will be able to have of the German documents, articles and books relating to my family research, and the better translations of my family information I will be able to make.
Thank you. Bye
