Rocket Languages Reviews

Impressive site layout and audio pronunciation of words and phrases. Downloadable lessons are a real plus and are great for training on the go or while working out or riding my bike. The survival kit is a real bonus for focusing on specific areas or themes. Rocket will be a definitely be "value-added" in helping me to prepare for my move to Shanghai next year.

I'm currently only halfway through the second lesson, but it seems good so far. You should be aware that the main reason I'm writing this review, is because they'll give me $10 cash back if I do.

Note that there are a lot of special offers, and the one they email you may not be the best one available at the time. Also, if you're paying by credit card, and you're not in the US, you will probably get a better deal if you pay in USD, and let your bank do the currency conversion, instead of taking the option to pay in your local currency.

Honestly though, it does seem pretty good so far, and seems to be very good value.

I never thought I could have so much fun learning a language! I actually wake up with it on my mind and I can't wait to learn more. Your program has placed a passion within me that I can't extinguish. I am hooked! Thank you so much for helping me identify this passion. My dream is to learn Mandarin and because of your program I am confident that I can accomplish the task and enjoy it at the same time.

Let me start by saying that this really is a great program; I never in my life thought I would be speaking and writing (and reading) Mandarin so quickly. The lessons are comprehensive and I love the variation with the different things you can do. I especially love how straightforward and interactive both the audio and writing lessons are. Honestly I could go on about what I like, so needless to say I give it 5 stars.

There is only one negative thing that I can think of. When I decided to purchase the 99.99 online lifetime access, I was offered a ten dollar reduction in price coupled with a little bonus "survival kit". Upon clicking the appropriate button to make my purchase, I was then offered a slightly reduced price on the second level (premium plus), but I declined the offer. Upon declining, I was then offered the same upgrade for a whopping half off what it originally was. Now I'm very happy that I got both levels for a greatly reduced price, but I can't help but feel sorry for the people who got so caught up in the hype that they missed out on the even better deal. Aside from that, it really is a great program and I can tell by how quickly I'm already learning that I made the right choice.

Of the three online Chinese courses I use. Rocket Chinese is by far the best. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn a language. The easy of usage. The way the courses are laid out all lend toward a pleasant learning experience.

It's AMAZING!!!! Hen BANG! I wish i knew about this website 5 years ago. I would have saved $2000 for impractical Chinese vocabulary AND 5 years worth of time. I even used to be rejected by a boyfriend's family just because I don't speak Chinese. In this country, people really take background very seriously when it comes to marriage. Many men only accept women who speaks Chinese to marry. I guess I would have been married to him now if I knew this website 5 years ago. Thank you so much Rocket Chinese!! I love you!!!

Really impressed with the software. Am still daunted at trying to learn very basic mandarin, but it's a question of "how do eat and elephant: a bit at a time" and Rocket will provide the tools to do that.

I have so many things to say about Rocket Chinese I don't know where to start. How about the beginning...

I have been interested in learning Chinese for a year now. I have five programs, three I obtained for free and two I paid for. Of the three I found for free, one came from my local library, I didn't feel bad about making a copy because they are public domain, two I downloaded from the Internet and there was no charge.

They are all good programs, I know because I am very critical and skeptical due to the numbers of programs available, I felt I could go broke trying to find a good teaching program for learning Chinese. Of the two programs that I bought one was from a University and one is the Rocket Chinese language course.

The one from the University is good, but I expected much more form a University language course and it is no where near as comprehensive as Rocket Chinese, but to keep things honest, I paid less for the University course.

I liked using the program during the 6-day trial, but I am a little upset. I started to purchase the premium package, but I changed my mind. I closed the purchase window before finalizing the purchase. However, Rocket Languages billed my credit card anyway. Now I will have to dispute this as an unauthorized charge.

I loved the course!! Ms. Lin Ping did an outstanding job and so did David Lewis. I would definately recommend it to my friends. It is a fabulous experience. I would definately give it a good try. Thanks again for introducing rocket Chinese! It was great..
