I appreciate the balanced mix of reading, speaking and writing.
Self-tests against native speakers is very helpful too. The learning process is quite flexible, however requires self-discipline to do the lessons frequently, preferably every day.

I appreciate how there is a lifetime membership option for those who hate the headaches and stress related to subscription based language apps. I myself am committed to achieving fluent Mandarin, and needed an in-depth course that would cover all the bases. Rocket Chinese consistently exceeds my expectations in format, material, and professionality. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get serious in their language learning, or even supplement what they are learning with a live teacher, (like myself). It's worth every penny!

Response from Rocket Languages

That's great to hear, May! Here at Rocket, we believe that learning a language is a journey, not a race. That's why we offer lifetime access with our payment model, so you can focus on enjoying the process. Keep up the incredible work!

Let me start by saying that this really is a great program; I never in my life thought I would be speaking and writing (and reading) Mandarin so quickly. The lessons are comprehensive and I love the variation with the different things you can do. I especially love how straightforward and interactive both the audio and writing lessons are. Honestly I could go on about what I like, so needless to say I give it 5 stars.

There is only one negative thing that I can think of. When I decided to purchase the 99.99 online lifetime access, I was offered a ten dollar reduction in price coupled with a little bonus "survival kit". Upon clicking the appropriate button to make my purchase, I was then offered a slightly reduced price on the second level (premium plus), but I declined the offer. Upon declining, I was then offered the same upgrade for a whopping half off what it originally was. Now I'm very happy that I got both levels for a greatly reduced price, but I can't help but feel sorry for the people who got so caught up in the hype that they missed out on the even better deal. Aside from that, it really is a great program and I can tell by how quickly I'm already learning that I made the right choice.

Rocket Languages seems to be a way to help a learner to developing a courant vocabulary and sentences of daily usage structures of the Mandarin language.
I enjoyed working with the sound tracks during the time I have free for my language study. I am also happy that I have my lessons so that I may go over all of them once or twice again, when I fell the time to do so.

I like the Chinese course. It is thorough and challenging especially if you go through all the exercises from the 20 to 30 minute speaking presentation and continue to the last - the quiz. I like the speaking the best. Even thou I can't seem to pronounce the second tone or the vowel u. But I am learning. I would recommend it to my friends. I do wish the comments from people in my course would follow the same as the reviews. That is the latest comments come first and not at the end! I also find the writing part really challenging. There is a keyboard to write in pinyin and you get instant feedback.

I signed up for the whole package. I am loving it. I get to test my pronunciation and I LOVE the life-time. Sometimes I can do ten minutes at a time only, but 3-5 times a day I squeeze in brings it to an hour. I got so excited I spent about 3 hours on lesson 1. I plan on making the most of it, and the best part I can do it on my own time. As I am well disciplined, I need to get those 10000 hours in. Very excited!

Very thorough review of each lesson but it starts to move too quick and shove too much in each lesson one you hit the 2.0's. It is hard to add up to 20 new words in one lesson instead of building a few at a time.

This app is like building Noah's Ark. It's hard at first, but eventually the work bears fruit. This forces you to practice everything that is studying the language. Speaking, writing, reading comprehension, naturally connecting associations.

Response from Rocket Languages

You've hit the nail on the head with that metaphor, Jaakko! While language learning can seem challenging in the beginning, for those willing to put in the time and energy, the payoff is really exciting and allows you to connect with people and cultures you never would have experienced otherwise. We can't wait to see where your language learning takes you!

The interactive audio is excellent however I struggle with the writing component. I am not sure what would be the best way to learn written Chinese over the internet, but I know I struggle with the way it has been presented to me here. However I purchased this product to learn the spoken language which it is great to learn from.
