Good but it would be better if you had more help with the pronunciation of the Mandarin words. I know I can listen to your recording and mine but I can’t seem to figure out how to fix my pronunciation to match what is taught
I love the combination of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Being able to interact with the same words and phrases many times, and in many different ways, helps increase my familiarity and my retention of the words. My confidence has skyrocketed, and I truly believe I will be able to communicate when I travel to China!
This program provided me with the audio I need to feel more comfortable with my Chinese class. I do like it but was a little disappointed that my account did not update when I purchased the premium plus. I hope this will be fixed in a timely manner.
Overall, I think this program is worth the investment I will recommend it to my classmates
There is no functionality to allow you to quickly click on a word that you don't know to figure out what it means. Instead you have to wait through the painstakingly slow audio to hear someone tell you what it means. Very frustrating, especially if you're like me and learn better through seeing.
Response from Rocket Languages
Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Michael - I am not sure what you mean here as every word/phrase in Rocket Chinese has the Hanzi, Pinyin, English translation and the literal translation. We have also recently added subtitles to the Interactive Audio course tracks to make following them much easier!
I have had this course over 2 years. I just keep plugging away at it and reviewing it. I am pleased with the hear your own voice feature. I have my money's worth. Eventually I will speak Mandarin fluently.
I love the fact that I can pay once for this product and not have to worry about paying every month. It gives me the flexibility to learn whenever I want without trying to cram as much as I can before something expires. The lessons are great and I love the review process that allows me to grade and compare my voice to the other. This is definitely one of the best and most flexible programs for learning Chinese on the net!
What I like about Rocket Chinese are:
+Writing part: Makes you understand the strange writing system which the Chinese people use. Video recording on how to write letters makes you visualize how you are going to do this, instead of only knowing the theory.
+Audio lessons: Its like a good conversation. Good mood. Nice personalities. Possible to upload to mobile.
+Design: Simple. Progress is showed at the top and give you a little bit more motivation.
+Culture: Interesting reading throughout the learning. Makes you understand China a little bit more.
Great course I came from Duolingo and I'm really enjoying it, I'm really picky about recorces as you can see and this is defenintly the best by far, this course has good challenges and that's what I'm about, so recommended!!!
So far I'm loving it! It teaches me the culture as well as the why behind what I am saying. It is an easy course to understand and get through, and I am well on my way to fluency! Thanks so much :)
I'm really happy with the way Rocket Chinese structures the lessons with lots of repetition. I also look forward to Rocket review after each lesson! I can definitely say I'm having fun learning Chinese.
