Rocket Languages Reviews

The learning experience is very good and the website lay-out and functions are easily understandable. The voice recognition doesn't work as well as with other programs (P. or RS), but well enough. Some of the best features are that I learn to write the words in Pinyin with the accents in the proper places, and that there's a transcript. I tried learning Chinese just by listening (P.) and I was not satisfied, the learning experience was somehow incomplete. It's only my second day with Rocket Chinese, but I've already learned more relevant content than with other programs (P. and D.) in the same time frame.
The price is appropriate for the content and service, but I would prefer a monthly subscription for all languages (like with P.).

Just getting started. Problems with motivation and memory are addressed well by this program. Still finding difficulty setting aside specific time(s) to practice. Appreciate weekly emails and short programs.

Makes it easy to stay on track! There is a lot of speaking practice integrated in this program, which uses novel technology to help assess your pronounciation, and you can set it to various levels, which helps a lot! Great way to save vocabulary also!

you guys helped me a lot and i Learned many different languages and it really works.

So far so good, quite pricy though. And maybe it would be fun with something for visual learners. Overall it is very good but still has potential to improve. I have no experience of the customer service so that one is neither good or bad.
How likely I'm to buy it again depends on if I get a big discount on another language.

The voice recognition technology is very inconsistent. It kills the experience because the lesson is based on the use of voice to qualify your speech.

Good but it would be better if you had more help with the pronunciation of the Mandarin words. I know I can listen to your recording and mine but I can’t seem to figure out how to fix my pronunciation to match what is taught

I'm currently only halfway through the second lesson, but it seems good so far. You should be aware that the main reason I'm writing this review, is because they'll give me $10 cash back if I do.

Note that there are a lot of special offers, and the one they email you may not be the best one available at the time. Also, if you're paying by credit card, and you're not in the US, you will probably get a better deal if you pay in USD, and let your bank do the currency conversion, instead of taking the option to pay in your local currency.

Honestly though, it does seem pretty good so far, and seems to be very good value.

Rocket Review has been a great review for my oral midterm coming up in Chinese. The speaking aspect is especially helpful as that is currently my weakest area. I am also able to get an idea of where I stand, and the rating system helps me to figure out what else I need to work on.

Quick learning, and good implementation of knowledge by ongoing repetitions to train ear and memory. This, paired with the fact that the lessons can be taken anywhere anytime makes it perfect for businessmen usually not having the time to take personalized classes, but still in need to learn a language
