Rocket Chinese Reviews

It's hard to think how Rocket Chinese could possibly be improved. The content is just amazing, everything from the language itself through to very helpful culture tips as well.

The hosts are delightful, easy to understand and a pleasure to learn from. Obviously Chinese is not the easiest of languages to learn and progress would be impossible without a very well thought out and executed training program such as this.

Well done to everyone involved, I'm thoroughly enjoying my language learning and I certainly appreciate all the hard work that must have gone into developing, improving and running the course.

Rocket Language has so many amazing learning features such as verbal production, flash cards to study, hani to learn to write, Anyone that truly wants to immerse them self in a new culture and language Rocket Language is the ONLY way to go. have ADHD, and Rocket Language KEEPS interested and wanting to learn more!

So far, it is an excellent investment. I like the variety of study materials provided for each lesson. As well as giving a little bit of cultural insight into things. There are times when the audio detection seems a bit off and doesn't pick up what you're saying accurately, and it assumes you're saying something totally off. I don't mind repeating myself to get scored correctly; practice makes perfect anyways. Just one minor flaw that I have seen thus far.

This is excellent because Rocket records your pronunciation, which as far as I know, isn't possible on any other program. Also Dave is an encouraging mentor. This is just so hard for an old guy like me, his encouragement is helpful.

Good; totally would recommend it. The narrators do a really good job at guiding you through each lesson ^^.

It has all the right content, but in all the wrong order. After struggling with the early lessons I realized I had to start each lesson at the bottom, learn the simple words and phrases and then make my way up to the longer stuff at the top/beginning.

Then after struggling with 5 lessons of long, complex multisyllabic structures, they finally introduce you to the endings and tone pronunciations. This means that the lesson structure is in the wrong order too.

Technology seems great, lesson ordering and general approach seems to need a lot of work.

Finally, this is likely a personal choice: but when I'm trying to learn Chinese I really don't want to have an exuberant english guy shouting at me about how excited he is. As I realize some may like this, I'd like an option to filter out Dave and just learn from the native speaker.

It's so fun and I enjoy learning from the app. Thx you so much now I am trying to become a foreign exchange student in china. It mean a lot to me that I can now feel more confident to travel outside the US and not feel like an outsider cause I don't know what your saying!

I started learning Chinese two months ago, I used at the time Apps Duolingo and Memrise. In both apps I made some kind of artificial progress, but in the fact, I could not understand the structure of sentences. There is a difference between them: Duolingo gives you some sense for the nature of the sentence building, but there is no grammar explication on it. Memrise makes you tired through repeating words and their meaning, in the same way as reading some huge vocabulary. Human being cannot learn in this way. Both apps work with multiple choice questions: so, you learn to be able to choose the best answer between several alternatives, but you don' learn the words and sentences themselves.
The Rocket Chinese has in the fact a classic approach to the learning process: you read a little text, then you can see the translation and then you make some exercises with the words you met. It is a very nice feature to exclude all known words and to repeat the exercise again with the difficult words only.

Makes it easy to stay on track! There is a lot of speaking practice integrated in this program, which uses novel technology to help assess your pronounciation, and you can set it to various levels, which helps a lot! Great way to save vocabulary also!

I've spent years trying to find a language learning program that I can stick with but make real progress on - Rocket Chinese is that program! The price is comparable with a 10 weeks in-person language course - but you get far more material! I love that each piece of information is presented in multiple ways, and there are so many ways to review.
