Rocket Korean Reviews

I really enjoyed using rocket languages! It was fun and comprehensive especially because of the audio feature. In a span of just 2 days, i was able to speak in Korean in a conversational way! More Power! :D I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

Overall, I understand the structure of the course, but it seems like many aspects, especially in testing, are done by a cookie-cutter algorithm which makes some really critical mistakes.

First, some technical issues. I use Chrome, as recommended, and there are a few things missing. Most notably, the on-screen Korean keyboard is not there. Also, I often do not have the button to mark a Writing lesson as completed. Finally, unlike in the app, there is no way for me to cut a voice recording off if I wish to restart, which often means waiting quite a while for the program to try to sort through gibberish.

Now, for the "cookie-cutter" aspect that bothers me. Frequently in the Audio lessons, the native speakers will say something that was not part of the lesson. This is fine, except that these phrases get put in the testing sections. For example, in the very first lesson there are introductions of the two native speakers. One says that he served in the Korean Marine Corps, then was discharged and migrated to the United States with his parents. He says this in Korean. This is a great way to get acquainted with the sound of the language. However, then this phrase comes up in the testing section of the exam.

This is a very powerful learning tool which allows you to pace your learning. Difficult parts can be repeated easily and it allows you to focus on phrases to practice during time when you are not using the software.

I really like this program for learning Korean. Although I've only been studying Korean for about a week I feel like I am learning a lot. I would recommend this program to anyone who would want to learn Korean or any other language that interests them.

I feel that this is a pretty good intro course for Learning Korean. The saying and repeating of phrases is useful, though the conversations depicted in each lesson I feel, won't carry out the same way in real life. They're not typical conversations you'd have with Koreans you don't know, or even things you'd say to ones you do know, but you need some form of speaking to progress in any language. The testing areas reinforce what's been discussed, so if you're not advancing, you're not trying! Don't forget to buy some kind of computer microphone or you won't be able to perform the speaking part of every lesson. Also, when will there be level 2 and 3 for Korean? I'll likely buy them.

I don't have enough English to explain but I can say that: "Rocket Languages are very helpful, nice and great. If only Rocket Languages are free." I love learning languages so I love Rocket Languages very much...

I love the mixture of easy and more difficult Korean i nthe testing sections. I also like how the different levels of the language are explained and integrated into each conversation. It's sometimes tough to get through every level in a day, but I'm motivated to keep going.

I used to get so bored learning in a classroom, but with Rocket Korean I can log on whenever I feel ready to learn and it's incredibly effective! It's interactive and fun, and I feel myself becoming more knowledgeable. I can't wait until I'm fluent in Korean and I know with this program that I'll be able to achieve that someday soon! Thank you Rocket Korean :-)

RocketLanguage Korean is the best that I have found so far--activities that encompass listening, audio analysis, reading, and writing! However, the interface is not completely intuitive, and some of the beginning Korean vocabulary and dialogue are too advanced for a beginner; for example, references to military service and discharge, compound sentences, etc. For the first lesson, a simpler meet-and-greet would have sufficed.

This is a great tool to get started learning Korean, conversation examples are natural and have very helpful detailed explanations. This is the most complete course of basic to intermediate Korean that I have ever tried. Thank you!
