Rocket Languages Reviews

Great way to learn another language, very helpful recordings which train you to remember. I've been studying for 2 months and already many of my friends who speak natively are shocked at how much I can speak.

Pretty good course, has a lot of exercises to help you remember everything

A very clever format that takes the learner through rote learning deep into Chinese before he/she realises it. Very intense and rewarding.
I am very old and use nonsense words to make pictures which I can remember. eg speak = ciao, hello in Italian
Gaoxing = happy, Gaussing means magnetising a ship.

Even if the cost scared me, I have walked through just to try to follow a friend suggestion (and furthermore because it is explained that you have six months to get back your money if you are not convinced by the method).
Sincerely I don't regret for the moment. The lessons are easy to understand and we really feel a quick progression of our langage level.

If I just have a recommandation for the Rocketlangages teachers, I would appreciate to have a chinese Dictionnary which one countains all the words we saw, and a second dictionnary more complete.

Best wishes and good continuation.

Sincerely,

Jeremy

Excellent way to learn such a difficult language, you just need some discipline and patience and little by little you start to understand and make sense of each word… I listen the course on my way to work or at the gym everyday and i dedicate a few hours on the week end for the reviews…

I've used Rosetta Stone for other languages including Arabic and nothing matches Rocket Arabic. Rosetta Stone was completely unusable. Rocket languages is the best method I've used to date for learning a language.

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.

Rocket Chinese is a great learning tool where you can learn Pinyin (Chinese Alphabet), Chinese characters, and audio. I found the price extremely reasonable compared to other programs of equal quality. My only concern is their translation from Chinese to English. They present a rough translation to what the sentence means and sometimes a very loose translation. I would like to see in addition to their translation, a word to word translation so the student can grasp what each word actually means. I find when I look up each word, my translation may not coincide with that of Rocket Chinese. Not that one is better than the other, it just provides me with another interpretation of the sentence.

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!

It is awesome. I learned so much. I am still just a beginner, but learned so much sense we bought it. Thanks I love it so much. I hope a lot of people learn stuff through it. Rocket Chinese is the best.
