Rocket Korean Reviews

I purchased Rocket Korean in August of 2016, yet I have just now begun exploring just how many things it can do! I absolutely love it and get online everyday. I have a 2 hour minimum study goal per day, and with Rocket Languages, it is SO easy to accomplish that! The two hours fly right by!

One thing I don't like is how in the Interactive Audio Lessons, there are TONS of extremely long phrases I've already found just in Module 1. I haven't even bothered studying them because it's 1) irrelevant to me and my study goals, and 2) it's simply too hard for a beginner to learn without knowing the bits and pieces that make up the phrases. In other words, I'd like either the long sentences to go away, be able to select which vocabulary I want to study, or the teacher to break it down to every word in the sentence.

All in all, my Rocket Languages experience has been awesome. As a 15 year old, it's hard to find language learning material I can afford and also be extremely useful and worth the money. And now I know by the amount of Korean knowledge I already have is that Rocket Languages definitely meets my strict criteria as a teenage language learner!

It was quite helpful for a beginner like me! It was quite annoying when I said something and it marked it as incorrect but if I said the same thing after a few tries then I would end up with a hundred percent. But it really did help me with understanding and sentence structure. I would recommend this site to anyone who would like to learn a brand new language such as Korean.

Amazing, but the understanding my speech could do some work. Sometimes I'll say it the same and get a low grade, but after multiple attempts after I'll get the 100%. And short words aren't understood at all by the computer at times.

it so good, i love it and i wish i realy cou;d learn fast korean... hayss i realy wish so... by the way this is a nice app...awesome... i love to learn any further i want to be fluent in this so that when times comes that i became a director it will nit be hard for me to speak and understand it... i love koreans . i love their culture their language and their natural besuties so that this up could be very helpfull to me..

I tried out Rosetta Stone for a few weeks to try and learn Korean, but I hated it. The learning format was so confusing. I had no idea what I was learning. I looked up more ways to learn Korean and I found Rocket Languages. It is 100 times better than Rosetta Stone and I actually understand what I'm learning. 10/10 would buy again.

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.

The course is excellent and a great value! It is really helping me to learn Korean for an upcoming trip. I plan to purchase other Rocket Language courses in Germany, French, Russian, Spanish and Italian.

As a completely new person to Korean, this course is not what I should have chosen to begin with. To be able to feel like you "completed" the lesson, you have to write things in a language they have not taught you yet! The lessons are too long and having to learn the "extras" to feel like you completed the material they were focusing on is also frustrating. I have no incentive to move through the material, because I feel like I can't even perfect the first few lessons!
The voice detection sometimes is very poor, which means saying the same thing fifty times at lightning speed to get credit for it. I like other programs for learning Korean better than this one. I might come back to it after I have a better foundation.

I am so grateful to have come across this website. Even though I do not do the lessons on a regular basis I still have learned a lot thus far. I really enjoy the mic feature. My pronunciation is not the best so this feature really helps me with this. I also recommend this website to all my friends who are trying to learn a new language.
