Rocket Record allows you to listen to the way native speakers say hundreds of Korean words and phrases. Then you can record yourself and accurately compare your speech with that of the native speaker.
It really is a fantastic way to learn Korean by increasing the amount of Korean vocabulary you know, and at the same time massively improving your Korean pronunciation and accent. Rocket Record is great for your confidence!
Virtually every Korean word and phrase in these lessons uses our Rocket Record voice comparison technology to get your pronunciation sounding as close as possible to a native Korean speaker.
Remember What You Have Learned
Most of our Korean lessons take advantage of the Testing section, which contains our exclusive testing tools. Testing has three testing components: listening, speaking, and composing, all scientifically designed to enhance your recall and understanding of spoken Korean.
1. Listening
Training your ear for Korean can be one of the things that Korean learners find the hardest to master. That’s why we came up with this Listening tool.
Here’s how it works. A randomly selected audio track from within each lesson is played. After listening to the track you’re prompted to record yourself saying the word, compare the way you say it to the Korean speaker, and rate how well you understand what the speaker was saying. A very powerful tool to tune your ear to spoken Korean!

It's one thing being able to pronounce Korean words correctly, it's quite another figuring out how those sounds turn into written words.
The Composing activity is the self-testing tool that lets you find out how well developed your Korean ear really is. Just listen to the native speaker saying a word or phrase, then select the correct syllables in the order you hear them to construct a full sentence.
When you're done click reveal, and you get to see how well you did, and get a rating for that word or phrase.

Now, all the training in the world won’t help you if someone is talking to you in Korean and your mind freezes when it’s your turn to speak! That’s why we developed this Speaking tool—a self-testing tool that really puts you on the spot!
This pulls randomly selected English words and phrases out of each lesson and prompts you to record yourself saying the Korean translation, compare yourself to the Korean speaker, and then rate how well you did! You really need to know your stuff for this one but the benefits are huge in maximizing how quickly you can come up with the right thing to say when someone is speaking Korean to you!
