Rocket German is the "new kid on the block" and I wish it had come out earlier! Unlike all the other programs I found, Rocket German combines both audio and software, in the one package. I found this great, because I could play the games on my computer if I was feeling bored and then I could listen to the 13 hours of mp3's while I was on the way to work or even just going for a jog. Rocket German is also great because it focuses on actual spoken German. While there is a large grammar guide, I suggest you forget about that and just focus on the audio and software. Thanks to Rocket German, I was told quite a few times that I was actually speaking "real" German. Something the Germans don't hear very often in foreigners. The forum is also handy, because if you have a question or just need a hand with something, there is always a native German speaker around to help you out. Strangely enough, this is also the cheapest product, but it's also my favorite, which is pretty cool, as a lot of the other products are very pricey. I've given it: |

The Pimsleur course was designed by Dr Pimsleur quite a while ago and he's done a great job. In the full package, there is over 100 20 minute audio lessons. These will take you from novice to confident speaker in less than 3 months. While it is a great program, the pricetag reflects this. Pimsleur German comes in at around 10 times the price of Rocket German. It may be able to teach you a lot of German, but I couldn't recommend this over Rocket German at such a price. If you can afford to buy Pimsleurs package, I recommend that you buy all three! This way you'll get the ultimate German experience. But for those of us who don't have bottomless pockets... Once again, because of the price tag..... I've given it: |
