Rocket Languages Reviews

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.

There is no functionality to allow you to quickly click on a word that you don't know to figure out what it means. Instead you have to wait through the painstakingly slow audio to hear someone tell you what it means. Very frustrating, especially if you're like me and learn better through seeing.

Your program is fine and efficient. Nevertheless the dialogues are a little boring ("Beijing seems to be a big city" , well, who doesn't know it?) and there is a BIG mistake in lesson 5.5 Places worth checking out in Beijing (the quizz) : the Great Wall of China CANNOT be seem from the moon ! Check it if you don't believe me. It's a myth !!!

In the first time i was afraid to not get the Chinese tunes , but with this awesome Rocket Chinese I've learned a lot.. and am thinking to have the whole course here when i get free =)
to all who are making for us these lesson , zaijian!! :)

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!!!

Very thorough review of each lesson but it starts to move too quick and shove too much in each lesson one you hit the 2.0's. It is hard to add up to 20 new words in one lesson instead of building a few at a time.

This course does a good job of giving a structured set of lessons as well as lots of nice extra material. It gives good basics on pronunciation, writing, as well as some grammar and cultural information. Very useful for getting a good foundation which you can use to start studying more on your own. I will consider getting the second part of the course, but at this point I feel I can begin to branch out on my own as well with the tools I have.

Good but it would be better if you had more help with the pronunciation of the Mandarin words. I know I can listen to your recording and mine but I can’t seem to figure out how to fix my pronunciation to match what is taught

This Program is really well made. I love all the different lesson types. This helps me to learn and memorize. I think the most helpful one is the speaking parts. They are all helpful though. I have had trouble memorizing with other programs, but this helped a lot.

This program is awesome as it allows you to adjust to different learning styles and discover which is best for you! Right now I am living in China and this program is very accurate compared to the real thing. I bought this program because of its many styles of teaching but also because of its accountability!
