Rocket Languages Reviews

I decided to try and learn Chinese just for the challenge of it.
It is only a few days I started Rocket language method and I am very satisfied. I have already recommended it to all my friends! The small dialogues are very helpful. The phonetic exercises are great to help improve pronunciation. The Practice and level section is also excellent. I only wish there were some more games. Hope that we can soon have it on tablets.

Very good course so far good to be able to record your own voice and play it back .
Do think Dave's made a mistake in play back instead of hěnhǎo he says her hǎo in the greetings section .
Good to be able to get a six day trial for this product

I'm an engineer and reviewed many competing products like Pimsleur (too audio oriented), Rosetta Stone (no English explanations, just clicking on pictures), Duolingo (not sophisticated enough) and others and finally decided on Rocket Chinese. I was pleasantly surprised with this product because it explains everything I'm learning in English and has wonderful tests, flashcards, and other tools to help me learn. The first lesson started with Ni Hao which is what I expected, where as other applications did not. Highly recommend Rocket for learning any language.

It is a good site for survival if you are moving to China but it doesn't teach you the traditional Chinese and it doesn't really help with reading and writing because the pinyin always gets in the way and the audio lessons feel kinda long during the parts for the pronunciation and I am from Taiwan so the simplified Chinese won't kina help (no offense).

I'm just starting but feeling quite confident! The website is nice, seems well organized and clear. Let's rock and speak Mandarin!!! I'm already thinking about learning Korean and Hindi in the near future!!!

I am exploring rocket chinese, I miss some examples of practice diffent conversation situations and also the quiz is static, when you repeat the quiz is very easy to answer. The rocket review is very good, but should be also dinamic. Anyway I try many chinese courses and this one is the one that I feel more confortable for the moment.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ERICA RAY FROM HER UTUBE VIDEO. I HEAR ABOUT THIS ROCKET CHINESE. SO FAR SO GOOD. 謝謝大家

Rocket Chinese fits the way I learn, and I was very happy to find it. I like the way it gives me options for learning and review instead of just drilling me. And I can go back and review anything I need to, anytime. The way the program is designed, I control my own learning, and I like that. The order of teaching makes sense, the cultural information is very helpful, and the reminders by email from Lin Ping help keep me focused and encourage me to add some variety to my program.

I think the best feature is the ability to record myself and compare it both aurally and visually with the teacher's recording of the same word or phrase. In level one, even though Dave is fun and very good, I do wish both teachers were native speakers for an accurate accent, at least for the recording parts of the lessons.

I've just started learning to write the characters, and so far, that teaching looks great too. I haven't gotten into the games too much, but I think they're helpful for stretching me beyond my comfort level. The point system encourages me to reach for the next goal, and that's fun and rewarding.

Overall, I love the program and I would recommend it to any English speaker who is motivated to learn Mandarin Chinese.

I love the multiple different ways/techniques they employ to make sure that you understand it by reading, writing, listening and having conversation. By the end of the lesson I really am familiar with the words. The work bank also helps break down all the meanings if you still are having trouble after the audio. I am very happy so far.

Rocket languages allows me to learn at a comfortable pace. It is challenging and informative. It is good because it allows me to replay phrases over and over separately so I can get the pronunciation right.
