Rocket Languages Reviews

This reviews Rocket Languages' Chinese Premium and Premium Plus. The program is well organized in its audio and website. Audio lessons use a typical conversation to teach new words and basic grammar lessons. Lin Ping, the teacher for the course, has a good clear Northern Chinese accent and speaks the majority of the time. It is peculiar that she converses with Dave, an Austrailian with a good accent, but not one I'd try to imitate if I was trying to blend in while visiting. This is fixed in the Premium Plus section. There is some English to introduce the subject and context, but the majority of the lesson is repeating words while you can follow a written transcript in Pinyin and I think Simplified characters. Then you practice memorizing by repeating sections of the conversation, hearing and identifying words, and speaking the words in Chinese knowing their equivalent in English. (hard!) The only major complaint is a lack of a translation dictionary to double check if the words you are adding to your vocabulary have the right definition (the audio tapes breeze through definitions only once); when looking up a word you will most often find it used in other lessons/sentences.

i tried 6 days free trail and instantly i wanted to keep studying and eager to see my future result.
once i studied 2 day of trial i found myself repeating by myself what i learned.
there must be some kind of scientific resource that i missed to read from instruction. but i could tell it worked. i am very happy to purchase this program. can't wait to study!!!!

Super good fun. Easy to learn and lots of helpful dialogue. Easy to understand and follow and a good background story to the characters talking to you makes them relatable. I have lots of laughs with my friends who learn french with me and I will be purchasing rocket Spanish also because I enjoy it so much.

Just started learning but seem to be retaining what I'm learning. Love the fact that I can go at my own pace (slow down or speed up) depending on my particular comprehension of the specific material. Not sitting in a class looking stupid while everyone else gets it is PRICELESS!

It's a good program and easy to follow so far. The free trial is a great way to introduce what the program is about and allows us to have a taste of what the structure is. I have been learning grammar from Duolingo and this program helps me with conversation and pronunciation. After many hours on Duolingo, I found this program reinforces what I already learnt and I hope it will help me speak French in the near future.

THIS REAL GREAT AM LEARNING JUST FOR 5 DAYS AND I HAVE BECOME USED TO IT AND I LOVE ROCKET SPANSIH BECOZ IT IS NEVER BORING ESPASHILY WITH MARIOSCI AND AMY THANK YOU VERY MUCH YOU MAKE SPANISH YOU MAKE LOOK EASY GRASSIYAS

I was told about Rocket Languages by friends of Orange County Library, California. What a privilege to be able to study French using Rocket Languages !! I have been very pleased and have even higher motivation to study French, one of my favorites languages.I recommend Rocket Languages for those who want to learn a language seriously.

I was eager to learn French Language as my third language to improve my ability to speak in this romance language. I did some browsing on online learning and found Rocket French. I signed in for the trial immediately after that. I found out that Rocket French is very useful for online learning and decided to buy with a great price offered. The best of all, I able to speak in French after 7-8 weeks of learning! Highly recommended! Il est superbe!!!!!!

Having just recently started Rocket French, am very satisfied! Myself, I also have used two other programs: Rosetta Stone and the Pimsleur Method. Neither come close to Rocket French: the interactive audio lessons, games, vast amount of very interesting and engaging resources - the other two programs are far more expensive, require monthly membership fees for anything beyond your initial purchase as far as furthering one's learning, and are more difficult..... they do not compare... period.

This is an outstanding portal if you want to learn French online. In the last four weeks, I could complete four exercises from the section 'Meeting, Greeting, Food and, Drink' and I really enjoy the conversations between Paul and Claire - these conversations actually ring in my year in the middle of night.
Before making this purchase, I had studied on the net and with a little bit of apprehension I had made this purchase because I had heard about the other competing products - Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur's French - and wanted to make the right choice.
I think I have made the right choice.
I must state here that the bonus lessons do need improvements as John and Julie are not in the same league with Paul and Claire.
