The first time I tried the lessons I just said ‘noooo, I can’t do this, Arabic is toooo hard’. But after a few times I’m starting to understand and remember a few words and sounds.
I’m a language teacher, and I’m really impressed with the course so far.
Putting it simply, this program is lit! I consider it as one of the best tools to learn a foreign language effectively. You will notice the progress in no time. On top of that, you will have a lot of fun! The audio sessions are spot-on, fun and entertaining! This great program will teach you how to speak the target language - and learning won't feel like an obligation at all.
I think it is amazing! The design of the course as well as all the features to practice are very useful to familiarize yourself with the content of the lessons. The supporting material gives insights to the culture and it is so interesting to read. I have taken courses for at least 5 different languages and I was skeptical about how good such an online course could be. After the free trial I thought it was promising and I was right! It is really fun to learn a new language with this program!
So far so good, quite pricy though. And maybe it would be fun with something for visual learners. Overall it is very good but still has potential to improve. I have no experience of the customer service so that one is neither good or bad.
How likely I'm to buy it again depends on if I get a big discount on another language.

Thanks so much for your review Daniel. We love to get feedback from our customers on how we can improve the course, so if there is a visual aspect that you think would be helpful, please don't hesitate to contact our customer support team ([email protected]) with your suggestions, and we will pass them on to the relevant teams. All the best with your language learning!
I like the variety of teaching methods. The character writing portion is great.
This is excellent because Rocket records your pronunciation, which as far as I know, isn't possible on any other program. Also Dave is an encouraging mentor. This is just so hard for an old guy like me, his encouragement is helpful.
In my pursuit of trying to study Mandarin, I have tried many, many, many courses, both in-person and online, and never quite found one that helped me stay motivated. In each case, I never felt like I was absorbing anything and would become discouraged really easily.
After trying a few lessons of Rocket Chinese, I can honestly say that this is by far the best course I’ve tried so far! I can not say enough good things about this course! Among the many things I love about it:
1. The price: the price is extremely reasonable especially given it’s a lifetime membership!
2. The course structure: the fact that the overall course initially focuses on oral rather than both oral and written skills. While I definitely want to learn the written portion and the course has more than enough to cover that in later lessons, I really prefer to focus on my conversation skills initially especially given that pronunciation is extremely critical in Mandarin! Many courses focus on both from the start, which ends up overwhelming and discouraging me.

Response from Rocket Languages: Please contact customer support about the Siri issue. It is probably an easy fix. Also, offline usage on the app is coming soon!
So far its been a great course and does a great job explainging pronunciation and grammar. I would highly recomend this course
I was looking around the internet where I can learn Chinese, I saw a lot of sites and tried most of their free trial including Rocket Languages. For most of the other sites, I didn't survive using their free trial for even a day, but for Rocket Languages, I survived up to the end of the free trial and now I'm about to buy my own subscription. I liked how Rocket Languages teaches people like Chinese. I hope that in a few months I'll be able to talk with some of my Chinese friends.
The price can't be beat! I especially enjoy that I control what and when I want to focus on for my study sessions. The interactive audio sessions actually helps me to think in the target language. I'm having problems with the speech recognition and will likely need to contact tech support; however, the first few hours into the course and I'm enjoying what I received for the price.
