Rocket Languages Reviews

Rocket Languages seems to be a way to help a learner to developing a courant vocabulary and sentences of daily usage structures of the Mandarin language.
I enjoyed working with the sound tracks during the time I have free for my language study. I am also happy that I have my lessons so that I may go over all of them once or twice again, when I fell the time to do so.

Just getting started. Problems with motivation and memory are addressed well by this program. Still finding difficulty setting aside specific time(s) to practice. Appreciate weekly emails and short programs.

I like the coverage in Rocket Chinese III in terms of vocabulary and grammar. The conversations between Lin and Tao are sometimes a little corny, but mostly cover relevant and useful situations. I wish there was more connectivity across lessons. Much of the vocabulary introduced in one lesson will never appear again; it would aid learning if more words were repeated over time. On the other hand, occasionally a word that has been introduced before will be introduced again as if it's brand new. I also wish the course would more often ask me to construct sentences based on what I've already learned, rather than simply repeat a sentence that I have just heard.

I have been living in China for a year now and have not had the time to learn Chinese. But when I started to make time to learn. I began looking online to see what there was out there. I looked at many other sites and none of them compared to this site. They really are the best that I have found. I like the fact that I can take the lesson anywhere I want to. Whether that be in the car or on my phone. They make it so easy to learn by slowing the words and sentences down and explain them word for word.

Quick learning, and good implementation of knowledge by ongoing repetitions to train ear and memory. This, paired with the fact that the lessons can be taken anywhere anytime makes it perfect for businessmen usually not having the time to take personalized classes, but still in need to learn a language

This is the most comprehensive language learning aid. Easy to access anywhere. I'm learning how the language is spoken, how to write and read the characters, and the lessons are entertaining and engaging. The only other resource I use to complement the lessons is the Arch Chinese website to help dig deep into the details of each character.

There are many options when it comes to learning Mandarin and they all seem convincing. I have tried several when I first began some years ago. These included private lessons, online one-on-one, and well known DVD lessons. It was not until I took up Rocket Languages that my learning started to show significant results. I was not just learning words but phrases that could be used in real life situations. The methods Rocket Languages use are most effective by the way they are structured and their native speakers have excellent pronunciation. I have travelled four times to China and have been told that my pronunciation is so good that they assume I am fluent, I am not, but I am confident in almost any situation in mainland China thanks to Rocket Languages.

Rocket Chinese is truly exceptional in that it engages all your learning faculties. Consequently, as you systematically work through the lessons (the 3 steps: Interactive Audio, Language and Culture, and Writing) your memory is reinforced, thus facilitating proficiency in such a difficult language as Chinese is for the English-speaking learner.

I have been searching for a perfect and easy Chinese learning tool ever since I came to China three weeks ago, and out of all the tools that I came across, Rocket Chinese is by far the most easy and straight forward tool that one can use to learn Chinese. I have been able to master and speak a few words in my three day learning of Chinese using Rocket Chinese which has greatly helped me to settle as quickly as possible in China.

Very good interaction, even though there is no actual interaction with a live person. The testing is excellent with repetition of phrases. One thing I would like is a vocabulary list for each lesson.
