Rocket Korean Reviews

It is such a shame. Rocket has the potential to be really good, but lack of attention to detail and poor explanations mean that it fails to reach its potential.

I have almost finished my Rocket Korean course. I have benefited from it, but only because I have a Korean wife, who has been able to explain things that Rocket have left vague, not explained well or just got plain wrong. First, the good things. The reinforcement process (Flashcards, oral repetition and so on) is excellent and has helped things to stick in my mind. The voice recognition software is also pretty good. It is weak on short words of one or two syllables, but in general works well. The audio conversations and reinforcement within them are also decent. There are three big problems with Rocket, however. Firstly, it’s explanations of grammar are not very clear and sometimes contain errors. Secondly it illustrates concepts with sentences that are far too complex and contain sections which are not explained. This is incredibly frustrating, because it means that you end up rote learning a lot of phrases rather than learning how to construct your own sentences. Finally the reference material and structure is very weak.

I love this they help me speak korean in 1 week!!!!!!!

Looks like it's so fun to learn here how to speak and understand Korean language. I've been wanting to learn this so I can watch my Korean drama without it's subtitle.

I love it because I can easily learn. have enjoyed the Rocket learning platform! The way they have their lessons outlined, really helps me out. I like how I control what gets checked off as completed and learned so I know I can move forward. I also like how I can go back and review. Each day I go through 4 lessons and at the end of the week, I start a new one and complete one that I have been at for 3 weeks. For me repetition is the key! My wife and I plan on going back to visit family in Italy, in about a year, so I hope by then I will be able to understand and maybe respond a little bit more than the last time.

I was looking for a good resource for learning Korean and came across this one. When I searched for external reviews, the course came highly recommended by Donovan at mezzoguild.com When I tried the course, I was impressed with the format, the native speakers and the exercises that are great for reinforcing the lessons learned. Apart from obsessively watching KDramas, this is my first attempt at learning Korean and the experience has been so much smoother than my attempts at learning other languages by more traditional methods. Love it!

It's really nice to have an app like this ,it is helpful to know new languages and it's easy to learn in this app . Just loved it ❤

Awesome Korean learn website thank you so much nice

Rocket Korean helps me learn Korean in a systematic, organised and fun way. I love the lessons and explanations, they're very helpful! The flashcards and other course activities allow me to speak and improve my pronunciation. Not only that, with the help of the flashcards, I am able to remember the vocabulary very well. Thank You!

I am 2 weeks into learning Korean, and still in the first module of 7, but am immensely enjoying it so far. The audio lesson is followed by 4 different "tests" that can be redone with a focus on phrases or words you did not know, as well as has those phrases and words to parse through on your own time following the lesson.

Rocket Languages essentially gives you all the tools to work at this in the way that best suits you, including the ability to turn off the Romanisation of Korean words if you would prefer to learn their writing style instead. While I find the course is very good at letting you set your own pace and approach, I do think the focus on Korean writing is a bit weak. You can access all the writing guides out of order to prioritise this, but this course focuses on speaking first, writing second. I am sure with time I will be able to do both, and this is based off of personal preference, but bear in mind that being able to read Korean phonetically before speaking it in this course may include using outside resources or taking lessons out of order.

I am really enjoying this course so far. I like that you can skip a lesson if it may not pertain to you or your current goal and then come back to it later. I also love being able to listen to the Interactive Audio lessons again later on my phone to reinforce the lesson I did for the day.
One thing that would be better, is if it asked you to write a review at the end of a lesson to not interrupt your learning.
