In my pursuit of trying to study Mandarin, I have tried many, many, many courses, both in-person and online, and never quite found one that helped me stay motivated. In each case, I never felt like I was absorbing anything and would become discouraged really easily.

After trying a few lessons of Rocket Chinese, I can honestly say that this is by far the best course I’ve tried so far! I can not say enough good things about this course! Among the many things I love about it:
1. The price: the price is extremely reasonable especially given it’s a lifetime membership!
2. The course structure: the fact that the overall course initially focuses on oral rather than both oral and written skills. While I definitely want to learn the written portion and the course has more than enough to cover that in later lessons, I really prefer to focus on my conversation skills initially especially given that pronunciation is extremely critical in Mandarin! Many courses focus on both from the start, which ends up overwhelming and discouraging me.

Please contact customer support about the Siri issue. It is probably an easy fix. Also, offline usage on the app is coming soon!

I was looking around the internet where I can learn Chinese, I saw a lot of sites and tried most of their free trial including Rocket Languages. For most of the other sites, I didn't survive using their free trial for even a day, but for Rocket Languages, I survived up to the end of the free trial and now I'm about to buy my own subscription. I liked how Rocket Languages teaches people like Chinese. I hope that in a few months I'll be able to talk with some of my Chinese friends.

Nice software... I don't know if this has character writing for Chinese. For those wondering this is better then Rosetta Stone. Hopefully I will stay motivated and learn Chinese like I've always wanted to do! Take the chance I try this out, maybe you will like it

I've spent years trying to find a language learning program that I can stick with but make real progress on - Rocket Chinese is that program! The price is comparable with a 10 weeks in-person language course - but you get far more material! I love that each piece of information is presented in multiple ways, and there are so many ways to review.

Hi , i am so happy that i had made the decision to purchase this Rocket Chinese course (premium to platinum) .I had tried seüeral other online language courses prior to purchasing this one and i got to say that Rocket Chinese win them all.It is so comprehensiüe and üery structured learning that i am motiüated to learn .
I feel that for the price that i had paid for this course ,it is worth eüery cent .A lot of effort and thinking must haüe been put into the construction of this course.Other courses pale to this Rocket Chinese course.A thousand thanks to those who had put the effort in this course.I encourage those who had not tried this course to do so or you will really miss a lot.
I had made significant progress in my Chinese since i started weeks ago.Eüeryday , i had to at least spent an hour on the course else i feel that i am missing something.iN SHORT ,this is really a wonderfuland great course.Thank you.

I looked into different options, from intensive Chinese lessons to online applications like Rocket languages. Ultimately, I realized that I was going to get the same learning without spending thousands of euro. This application is superbly done and the voice recognition is simply amazing. I strongly recommend. I'm making great progress and feel that I'm going to be able to survive on my next trip and more...

It has all the right content, but in all the wrong order. After struggling with the early lessons I realized I had to start each lesson at the bottom, learn the simple words and phrases and then make my way up to the longer stuff at the top/beginning.

Then after struggling with 5 lessons of long, complex multisyllabic structures, they finally introduce you to the endings and tone pronunciations. This means that the lesson structure is in the wrong order too.

Technology seems great, lesson ordering and general approach seems to need a lot of work.

Finally, this is likely a personal choice: but when I'm trying to learn Chinese I really don't want to have an exuberant english guy shouting at me about how excited he is. As I realize some may like this, I'd like an option to filter out Dave and just learn from the native speaker.

A great online tool to teach you how to get the nuances down of the Mandarin language. Topics covered are relevant and assist in everyday conversation. Also, cannot beat the price versus the competition.

This is excellent because Rocket records your pronunciation, which as far as I know, isn't possible on any other program. Also Dave is an encouraging mentor. This is just so hard for an old guy like me, his encouragement is helpful.

It's hard to think how Rocket Chinese could possibly be improved. The content is just amazing, everything from the language itself through to very helpful culture tips as well.

The hosts are delightful, easy to understand and a pleasure to learn from. Obviously Chinese is not the easiest of languages to learn and progress would be impossible without a very well thought out and executed training program such as this.

Well done to everyone involved, I'm thoroughly enjoying my language learning and I certainly appreciate all the hard work that must have gone into developing, improving and running the course.
