Rocket Korean Reviews

I love that it uses phrases to teach the vocabulary and doesn't spend hours on learning individual letters. The ability to practice conversations and see how well you are pronouncing the foreign words is a great benefit.

Hi, I am a composer and I am 61 years old. That means on one side that I know a lot about memorizing music, that has - like language - also rhythm and sound. On the other hand my brain is not so young like a 20 years old person. That means, that I am happy for any help for memorizing the vocabulary, sentences, sounds, rhythms of the language I am learning. In my case that is KOREAN, very difficult to learn for a western educated person like me.

Overall I am very satisfied with RocketKorean! Thank you very much! I tried out many competitor's software on the net, but finally I decided for RocketKorean as the best I could find.

But, because I tried out many other software, and because I am a professional musician, I have some suggestions to enhance RocketKorean. But first I appologize for naming an other product: Pimsleur

Pimsleur has bad speakers in their Korean course, also for German the male voice has an Berlin-accent etc. Pimsleur also is very poor on writing skills and on Korean culture.

But one thing is more sophisticated and elaborated: the half hour daily lecture with a rhythm of repetition that was constructed by the brain scientist Pimsleur. Also speaking words by syllables backward.

I am a new user of Rocket Languages, and I am having a great time. For years I played around with the idea of learning the Korean language, but I had no idea how to take the first step. Rocket has given me the opportunity to study Korean at my own pace, without worrying about deadlines or expectations. I like the feel of being on a personal journey, since that was my expectation from the very beginning. Ultimately, I would like to become fluent in the language before I make my first trip to South Korea. I think that learning the language before hand would show locals respect when I communicate, and give them an idea of who I am as a foreigner in their country. I would like to make a good impression, for myself and for others.

I have not yet rated this program five stars, only because I have retained very little vocabulary in my first month. My lack of memory could be my own fault, because I don't have very much spare time on my hands to study for hours daily. However, I would like anyone reading this to know that Rocket Languages offers an amazing way to get your foot through the door. Please know that I am actively working to give more time and attention to my studies. I hope that by the end of this month, I will meet my initial goals.

Rocket Languages is the most motivating online learning program I have ever used. I have been learning Korean for almost 2 years and there are times when I skip a few days of practice simply because I lose interest. Repetition does that to you. The points and badge system encourage you to work every day and compete with the other Rocket users. It gives you the strength to go each day and have even more fun learning the language.

I've already recommended it to a few Korean language students I know. Hopefully they surrender and check it out.

I recommend this to anyone who would like to learn a new language fast and easy and on their own time. My experience has been great, learning when I want and how I want. Some days I focus on vocabulary and other days I just listen to the audio. This program is definitely a good way to get started with a language but real mastery will come from using the new language in the outside world but I believe this program can really help you achieve this.

After marrying my husband (who is Korean) I moved to South Korea and began the process of learning Korean. Rocket Korean is a very affordable and enjoyable way to learn Korean; it contains common phrases that are actually used in everyday conversation, and also has several methods to make sure the information sticks after you finish the lesson.

I'd definitely use Rocket Languages again if I ever need to learn another language.

Anyoung everyone,

I've been a great fan of Rocket Languages over the years. From English now I moved to learning Korean Language and it's really easy and awesome!!!! The little demos are really great and fun. I have tried many tools to learn a language but so far Rocket languages site is the best. I'll definitely recommend it. What's also interesting is that I can always come back to the previous lessons. Thanks to the whole Team for the good job done. Keep it up. Jal itsuh!!!!

I'm an intermediate beginner learner and I got Rocket Korean in hopes that it would advance my level at a quicker pace than using a text book. What I have found is that it takes just as long if not two times as long to complete a lesson on here but when I do have time it is a very thorough, effective way to learn.

Hello theeere (:)

I'm a 22 years old student from Genève
Nice to meet you! ~

Such a good experience with your korean learning method ! It, so far and for me, has had everything I would wish I had in a school for foreign languages learners. Plus I can do everything how I want! This is awesome. And you even have put a "reset" button in the "Hear it, Say it; Write it; Know it!" section. It's awesome! So that when a nice refresh in something is needed, there isn't problems of any sort allowing ourselves that "refresh". And so many other details of that kind, that are just so very important, are present as well. You know, as a Swiss person, I am very aware of quality and detail. We're very much like the Japanese people for that! We're very exigent for many, many many things. First of all our own selves, of course (;)! That's also why I appreciate your method so much; I'm not afraid of lacking things I would find important or anything in that sense, because everything is in here! Also; when one could get the feeling not to be efficient enough for her/his expectations considering her/his-self, there are no external reasons at all feeling ashamed about what other people could say about us.

I am so grateful to have come across this website. Even though I do not do the lessons on a regular basis I still have learned a lot thus far. I really enjoy the mic feature. My pronunciation is not the best so this feature really helps me with this. I also recommend this website to all my friends who are trying to learn a new language.
