Kam sam ni da.it's very useful.i would like to recommend this to my friend.also keep up your good work .add some more lessons.can you please write a article about korean universities and degrees.please ......finally ...kam sam ni da.
I enjoy the interactive lessons and the encouragement to speak it aloud. I wish you could slow down the speed on the app, some words I need broken down into pieces and had to go elsewhere in order to learn the correct pronunciation.
I use this to listen to when running. It is disappointing that there does not seem to be a way to automatically move from one interactive audio lesson to the next without having to do it manually. Some of your competitors eg korean101, do permit this. A minor issue but one of convenience.

Thanks so much for your feedback. We are planning on adding a playlist option to our app later this year, which will be far more convenient for listening to on the go. I hope that helps!
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.
its honestly a really good program but there should be a feature to let you slow down the audio down just a little, Korean has some completely different nuances so it hard to hear them sometimes when it so fast

Thanks so much for your review, Sabian, it's much appreciated. Regarding slowing down the tutor audio, you can do that by clicking on the settings icon in the top right corner of your members area, and selecting a Tutor Audio Speed of either 0.75x or 0.5x. We hope that helps!
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.

All the program tools are useful to learning Korean

We are glad to hear that you are finding Rocket Korean useful for your Korean skills. Best of luck with the course!
I have been having much more success with this as compared to something like Duolingo and it isn't nearly as expensive as something like Talk to Me in Korean. Plus, Kelly, Sujeon, and Taewoo are all very engaging and work hard to make sure that everything they are saying is understood.
I would say the only sticking point I have is that some of the phrases we're expected to learn take a sharp turn into being very difficult both in pronunciation and just memory. I recognize that that is just part and parcel when it comes to learning this kind of stuff - but it's pretty frustrating when I go from learning things like "Annyeonghaseyo" to trying to memorize a phrase about serving in the Korean military.
I don't think it's bad to include them in the lessons, but making them part of core vocab just throws me off sometimes. Like, let me finish the basics first, you know?
