Rocket Chinese Reviews

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!

Pros:
- Good overall structure
- Gamified
- Lots of content
- Lifetime access

Cons:
- Grammar lessons should be more in-depth.
- Writing section should be taken more seriously instead of the "it's almost impossible for you to learn this so here's some easy random stuff".

Overall this may be the best online package out there. However, in order to be perfect it needs to consolidate its writing and grammar section. I have found the structure to be really useful in obtaining some key phrases or words but there's almost no info regarding phrase construction and rules so it's not that easy to use what I've learned so far as building blocks for new phrases and expanded meanings.

Rocket Chinese is a great learning tool where you can learn Pinyin (Chinese Alphabet), Chinese characters, and audio. I found the price extremely reasonable compared to other programs of equal quality. My only concern is their translation from Chinese to English. They present a rough translation to what the sentence means and sometimes a very loose translation. I would like to see in addition to their translation, a word to word translation so the student can grasp what each word actually means. I find when I look up each word, my translation may not coincide with that of Rocket Chinese. Not that one is better than the other, it just provides me with another interpretation of the sentence.

Rocket Languages is a program designed for beginners to easily comprehend how to pronounce the words. You might have to run through the lesson a couple of times though, but that's to be expected from any form of learning.

I usually have a difficult time with most language learning methods (like a certain one that rhymes with "Bobetta Fone"!), but Rocket's method fits my learning style perfectly! As a foreign language teacher, I highly recommend it!

Unbelievable!!! Did I ever know that learning a language could be so fun and interesting. I am my own Master!! Its all entirely up to me how fast and how much I learn. With all the interesting features, who wouldn't look forward to moving to the next level everyday!!!

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 like the Rocket Chinese Course.
Interestingly, I can only give 5 stars, if I try to click higher than that, it defaults to no stars...
I very much enjoy the energy the instructors have. The level of progress for each lesson is well done. You learn quite a bit with each lesson, and the audio is engaging. But you don't get thrown so far into the deep end that you get frustrated and quit. I is a very good balance between enough old (to prevent frustration) and enough new (to prevent boredom.
I also interacted with the customer service once. It was a very good experience. They took my feedback and incorporated it in the very next update. They also addressed my (user created) problem. They were prompt, and kind, and very helpful.

The ability to download the interactive audio and listen to it offline is great for making use of my time commuting on the London underground, then practicing with the Hear-It / Say-It / Know-It when I get home in the evening.
I hope they make the mobile-app have an offline mode too one day so that I can do the hear/say/know-it practice off-line too.

I'm really enjoying my Rocket Chinese course so far! I like the audio lessons, as well as the interactive features of the course. I'm moving to China next year, and I'm excited and motivated to keep learning with Rocket Chinese before the big move!
