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).

Response from Rocket Languages

Welcome to our language-learning community! Our Rocket Chinese course is super comprehensive, and you can remove the pinyin in the settings.

Rocket languages make it fun to learn. The way the course is interactive makes learning new vocabulary very easy. I listen to the lessons while I am walking or on the subway. It has helped me get the basics for surviving in China. The only improvement I would suggest is that the app is made available offline. In China, the app sometimes will only work with a VPN turned on. I would fully recommend Rocket to anyone wanting to learn a language. It has more than helped me.

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.

As a complete beginner for the Chinese language I struggle a little on learning some of the "longer" sentence lessons. I really like Rocket chinese but I listen to Yoyos' Utube when it comes to pronunciation. She shows beginners how to pronounce the harder sounds. Plus, as a beginner I have purchased three young learners books with easy sentences. So now I have a great learning system in Rocket chinese, Yoyo and my "kids" books. Please don't look at this as being negative. As a teacher I know what I need to make it easier on me. Thanks still for your great course.

Overall this program is excellent. The lessons make sense and the progression seems natural. The only major problem with the course is the voice recognition. It's terrible. Obviously if I was a great speaker of Mandarin I wouldn't need this program, but even when I'm really close to the right pronunciation, it doesn't register it as correct. It sometimes stops recording before I've finished speaking (especially on the longer sentences), and sometimes out of frustration I've spoken gibberish, not even close to the right sounds, and it gave me 100%.
So I treat the voice recognition like an audio book. Just repeat, but the feedback is totally meaningless. I'm happy with my purchase since I was able to buy this program on sale.

There are some assumptions made when talking about time and date (like understanding how to count first could help). It's great to force us into speaking the language a lot. I like how the conversations get longer and one new word is added.

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.

I have studying Mandarin Chinese for about four months. I started with another "highly rated" and very expensive program by a competitor. After two months I could only say hello and goodbye and a lot of phrases which I wasn't sure of their exact meaning and none of them related to any topics I wished to practice at the local Chinese restaurant (you have to look at pictures and decide what is being depicted. No English translations are anywhere in the program). Then I purchased Rocket Chinese and within two weeks, I could actually speak some meaningful Chinese...and know what I was saying...as do the Chinese that I practice with. Rocket Chinese tells you the words, pronounces them correctly for you, slows them down and then adds them to sentences, and speaks them in a dialog with another native Chinese speaker. It also shows you the written characters and the Pinyin language as you go. If you want to learn this difficult language, Rocket Chinese is my recommendation. It doesn't cost you an arm and a leg and you will be speaking basic Chinese almost immediately!!

I love working with this program. I have tried many programs, but none were as comprehensive as this. The Rocket Chinese course offers everything that you need to become fluent in Chinese. So far, I am learning how to hold a conversation, vocabulary, tones, grammar, hanzi, and much more. Thanks, Rocket Chinese, for creating such a comprehensive course.
