I started learning Egyptian Arabic with a teacher, however only learning from a teacher does not satisfy me, I had to do more! My problem was, I could not find an application that could help me with Egyptian especially, all of them were for Modern Standard Arabic. Thanks to Rocket Languages I am able to enjoy the experience.

I am really enjoying learning Arabic with Rocket Languages. The program is both engaging and fun, and I can learn on my computer, tablet or iphone. I highly recommend Rocket Languages for language learning.

Couldn't be happier with the Chinese course I recently bought. Only got it a few days ago, but I've sunk hours and hours into it... it's surprisingly engaging and I'm normally not so studious. And a big shout-out to Margaret, the CSR who helped me with an issue earlier. Honestly her customer service was the stimulus that brought me to the reviews page.

I was somewhat reluctant to spend money on a Chinese language course as there are so many free resources available online. However, I decided to invest in Rocket Chinese so that I could follow a clear, structured course, to help me learn useful Chinese before I move to China to study later this year. I am so glad I did, as the course has been great. I love that I can download the audio lessons to practise when I have no internet access. I also like how each lesson contains not only the interactive audio, but also writing and speaking exercises, with the ability to record my speech and hear it back to compare it to the native speaker. I have already recommended Rocket Chinese to others who will be moving to study in China at the same time as myself.

I will be travelling to China in August to study Mandarin and attend an immersion course for 4 weeks. Rocket Chinese has helped me progress so much over the last month as I have committed to a daily routine of 30 minutes, consistent study and I can really notice the improvement in my knowledge and understanding. The great thing about Rocket Chinese is that I can listen and practice the Audio conversations while I'm driving! This will definitely give me a great foundation to work from for when I commence further mandarin studies in China!!

I started learning Chinese two months ago, I used at the time Apps Duolingo and Memrise. In both apps I made some kind of artificial progress, but in the fact, I could not understand the structure of sentences. There is a difference between them: Duolingo gives you some sense for the nature of the sentence building, but there is no grammar explication on it. Memrise makes you tired through repeating words and their meaning, in the same way as reading some huge vocabulary. Human being cannot learn in this way. Both apps work with multiple choice questions: so, you learn to be able to choose the best answer between several alternatives, but you don't' learn the words and sentences themselves.
The Rocket Chinese has in the fact a classic approach to the learning process: you read a little text, then you can see the translation and then you make some exercises with the words you met. It is a very nice feature to exclude all known words and to repeat the exercise again with the difficult words only.

Response from Rocket Languages

We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying learning Chinese with Rocket Chinese. We wish you all the best with the rest of the course!

I have been a calligrapher of chinese brush for 10 years, and NOW I am learning the language! I knew that whatever I found had to fit my “not so beginner, but very beginner” status. Rocket Chinese does the trick! I really like learning the grammar this way. It isn’t so daunting. I also have to study grammar as well, since I translate what I write, but this has really increased my confidence. Thank you! Xie xie!

The more I go through the course, the more frustrating it gets. Instead of learning and practicing individual words, I'm supposed to memorize incredibly complex sentences without understanding the meaning of how all the words work together in the sentence. There is no logical progression from learning words to forming sentences. As a result, I forget everything immediately and feel demotivated. And I stumble over the pronunciation because I have to say ten new words at a time. There is no daily reinforcement of previous lessons, which makes the course meaningless over time.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thank you for your review, Daniel. If you are finding the Interactive Audio lessons quite challenging, then we would recommend going through the Language and Culture lessons first. Once you have a better understanding of how the language works, you may find that the sentences make more sense. If you continue to find yourself feeling demotivated, please don't hesitate to reach out to the customer support team on [email protected].
