I have had this course over 2 years. I just keep plugging away at it and reviewing it. I am pleased with the hear your own voice feature. I have my money's worth. Eventually I will speak Mandarin fluently.
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.
Thanks to Rocket Chinese, now I'm looking forward to heading back to China, and impressing all my friends in Dong Guan with all that I have picked up in such a short time, Its got brilliantly laid out lessons which really help you grasp the language in a shorter span of time! EXCELLENT tool to learn a new language. If anyone talks to me about learning a new language, I am quick to recommend Rocket Languages, Its better than enrolling into an institute, I say! Especially if you don't have the time to travel and find time to study only at odd hours of the day!!
Rocket Chinese makes learning fun. The writing modules are help in learning to recognize and write characters. The addition of the new modules that let me record myself and compare my speech to the ideal is a real help in getting the tones and pronunciation just right.
Tried so many chinese language books in the market but can't still seem to grasp the Mandarin language, I have trouble particularly in the confusing tones. I'm just in the first 3 lessons but I can feel the competency of this module as compared to others.
I tried many commercial self-learning languages in the market. But for Chinese, Rocket Chinese has it all! It's on-line, so it is at the same time a light and available from everywhere software. I can practice my Chinese with my work-PC, my personal laptop or my spouse's computer. It's simple perfect! The lessons are well guided and very encouraging when you see the progress you already made. Also, because you can compare you score with other's people score it is also encouraging to see that you are not alone. I love Rocket Chinese, I would never dream that someday I would learn Chinese.
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.
Rocket Languages is a program designed for beginners to easily comprehend how to pronounce the words. You might have to run through the lesson a couple of times though, but that's to be expected from any form of learning.
Much better than Rosetta Stone.. I just came back from Asia and from what I learned from Rocket. it helped a lot. Plus, the price and ease of usage...unbelievable. If you put in the time and effort, it will pay for itself.
I usually have a difficult time with most language learning methods (like a certain one that rhymes with "Bobetta Fone"!), but Rocket's method fits my learning style perfectly! As a foreign language teacher, I highly recommend it!
