Rocket Chinese Reviews

I like to learn Chinese online with Rocket Chinese. Because here are very interesting topics and lessons, has possibilities to see and to read the phrases that are frequently used in everyday life and can to hear very clear pronunciation of native speakers.

I started using the Rocket Chinese program, only used three of the lessons so far. However this product is phenomenal, its perfect for starting to get to know the basics and then can move on to the advance stuff.

I liked how they allow you to come back and do the Hanzi, or you can do it together. This depends on the level of Chinese you are at.

I'm currently only halfway through the second lesson, but it seems good so far. You should be aware that the main reason I'm writing this review, is because they'll give me $10 cash back if I do.

Note that there are a lot of special offers, and the one they email you may not be the best one available at the time. Also, if you're paying by credit card, and you're not in the US, you will probably get a better deal if you pay in USD, and let your bank do the currency conversion, instead of taking the option to pay in your local currency.

Honestly though, it does seem pretty good so far, and seems to be very good value.

Let me start by saying that this really is a great program; I never in my life thought I would be speaking and writing (and reading) Mandarin so quickly. The lessons are comprehensive and I love the variation with the different things you can do. I especially love how straightforward and interactive both the audio and writing lessons are. Honestly I could go on about what I like, so needless to say I give it 5 stars.

There is only one negative thing that I can think of. When I decided to purchase the 99.99 online lifetime access, I was offered a ten dollar reduction in price coupled with a little bonus "survival kit". Upon clicking the appropriate button to make my purchase, I was then offered a slightly reduced price on the second level (premium plus), but I declined the offer. Upon declining, I was then offered the same upgrade for a whopping half off what it originally was. Now I'm very happy that I got both levels for a greatly reduced price, but I can't help but feel sorry for the people who got so caught up in the hype that they missed out on the even better deal. Aside from that, it really is a great program and I can tell by how quickly I'm already learning that I made the right choice.

Really impressed with the software. Am still daunted at trying to learn very basic mandarin, but it's a question of "how do eat and elephant: a bit at a time" and Rocket will provide the tools to do that.

I have so many things to say about Rocket Chinese I don't know where to start. How about the beginning...

I have been interested in learning Chinese for a year now. I have five programs, three I obtained for free and two I paid for. Of the three I found for free, one came from my local library, I didn't feel bad about making a copy because they are public domain, two I downloaded from the Internet and there was no charge.

They are all good programs, I know because I am very critical and skeptical due to the numbers of programs available, I felt I could go broke trying to find a good teaching program for learning Chinese. Of the two programs that I bought one was from a University and one is the Rocket Chinese language course.

The one from the University is good, but I expected much more form a University language course and it is no where near as comprehensive as Rocket Chinese, but to keep things honest, I paid less for the University course.

I liked using the program during the 6-day trial, but I am a little upset. I started to purchase the premium package, but I changed my mind. I closed the purchase window before finalizing the purchase. However, Rocket Languages billed my credit card anyway. Now I will have to dispute this as an unauthorized charge.

Very thorough review of each lesson but it starts to move too quick and shove too much in each lesson one you hit the 2.0's. It is hard to add up to 20 new words in one lesson instead of building a few at a time.

After loving the Spanish rocket language and purchasing it, I tries to Chinese trial. People have said my language skills are improving - it's definitely more effective than Rosetta Stone. Thanks rocket!

It met my expectations generated by the online reviews, most of which often prove misleading. I enrolled for the trial period and was pleasantly surprised. I believe Rocket Chinese provides an excellent resource that, if combined with motivation and regular, sustained practice will lead the student to breakthrough into conversational fluency - and that is my goal.
