Rocket Chinese Reviews

Rocket Chinese is truly exceptional in that it engages all your learning faculties. Consequently, as you systematically work through the lessons (the 3 steps: Interactive Audio, Language and Culture, and Writing) your memory is reinforced, thus facilitating proficiency in such a difficult language as Chinese is for the English-speaking learner.

There are many options when it comes to learning Mandarin and they all seem convincing. I have tried several when I first began some years ago. These included private lessons, online one-on-one, and well known DVD lessons. It was not until I took up Rocket Languages that my learning started to show significant results. I was not just learning words but phrases that could be used in real life situations. The methods Rocket Languages use are most effective by the way they are structured and their native speakers have excellent pronunciation. I have travelled four times to China and have been told that my pronunciation is so good that they assume I am fluent, I am not, but I am confident in almost any situation in mainland China thanks to Rocket Languages.

This is the most comprehensive language learning aid. Easy to access anywhere. I'm learning how the language is spoken, how to write and read the characters, and the lessons are entertaining and engaging. The only other resource I use to complement the lessons is the Arch Chinese website to help dig deep into the details of each character.

Quick learning, and good implementation of knowledge by ongoing repetitions to train ear and memory. This, paired with the fact that the lessons can be taken anywhere anytime makes it perfect for businessmen usually not having the time to take personalized classes, but still in need to learn a language

It's immersive and very educational. A good price for good quality lessons. The audio is clear and interactive, which is helpful in learning pronunciation. Lessons are short enough to provide a sense of successful memorization, but long enough to help solidify the knowledge. I will definitely continue using this.

Excellent way to learn such a difficult language, you just need some discipline and patience and little by little you start to understand and make sense of each word… I listen the course on my way to work or at the gym everyday and i dedicate a few hours on the week end for the reviews…

So far I'm loving it! It teaches me the culture as well as the why behind what I am saying. It is an easy course to understand and get through, and I am well on my way to fluency! Thanks so much :)

awesome-you said it I love the exercises and I find the reviews very helpful. I have also tried the games. I enjoy the tests as well. I think the recording trace for pronunciation is also very useful. had a few headaches with attaching camera and microphone.

I had used Living Language's NOOK tablet app, which opened my eyes to just how helpful computer-based language learning could be. I also tried Rosetta's app. As I researched available systems, I discovered Rocket Languages Chinese (Mandarin). After only a few weeks' study, using Rocket Chinese, I was able to greet,and exchange pleasantries with ,Dr Paul Lam,in his native Mandarin! He even complimented me on my correct use of tones, then asked how I learned. Of course, I was thrilled to tell him about Rocket Chinese. The Rocket Chinese course really brings the language alive ;while allowing the learner to progress at their own pace. I wish the Premium Plus level had more exposition of grammar; but overall, Rocket Languages provides unbeatable "bang-for-your-buck". Using Rocket Chinese, I have reached a level where I can now start to use more- traditional, book based grammars,and make sense of the material- whereas, before , the books were just mute, and cryptic, and I just was not absorbing the lessons. Rocket is the way to go!

I'm really happy with the way Rocket Chinese structures the lessons with lots of repetition. I also look forward to Rocket review after each lesson! I can definitely say I'm having fun learning Chinese.
