Rocket Languages Reviews

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.

So far, it is an excellent investment. I like the variety of study materials provided for each lesson. As well as giving a little bit of cultural insight into things. There are times when the audio detection seems a bit off and doesn't pick up what you're saying accurately, and it assumes you're saying something totally off. I don't mind repeating myself to get scored correctly; practice makes perfect anyways. Just one minor flaw that I have seen thus far.

Great course I came from Duolingo and I'm really enjoying it, I'm really picky about resources as you can see and this is definitely the best by far, this course has good challenges and that's what I'm about, so recommended!!!

Excellent course material, covers all the reading/writing/listening and speaking components of learning a language. Progresses very smoothly and plenty of ways to brush up on older material with flashcards or listening and translating.

I'm an engineer and reviewed many competing products like Pimsleur (too audio oriented), Rosetta Stone (no English explanations, just clicking on pictures), Duolingo (not sophisticated enough) and others and finally decided on Rocket Chinese. I was pleasantly surprised with this product because it explains everything I'm learning in English and has wonderful tests, flashcards, and other tools to help me learn. The first lesson started with Ni Hao which is what I expected, where as other applications did not. Highly recommend Rocket for learning any language.

they have a microphone that you can speak

After seeing many different sources to learn Chinese I am glad I chose Rocket Chinese. I got a great deal during Christmas which was definitely worth its price, and there is a huge amount of material to explore. The best feature that makes the difference is the voice recognition that motivates you to speak and practise pronunciation. Obviously, it is not 100% accurate, but it is much better than expected compared with other voice recognition software. The dialogues are really useful too, and the mini-games are pretty good at helping you learn the new material. The only part that could be added is some exercises to help you learn the characters as this is a challenging part of the language with not enough attention given. Only the Sort It exercises focuses on the characters but it is far too easy and not enough to help you memorise them or understand their meaning.

This is a well-structured course that emphasizes four skills. I am multilingual and have taught languages. I find this online course to be a "competent teacher."

The voice recognition is not quite as good as with other programs, but the program itself is complete and very satisfying.
I had one contact with customer service about an issue that was of my own making, and they helped very quickly.
The price is appropriate for what you get.

I have only been engaged in the course for a few days, but I am happy so far. I am a professor of English as a Second Language, so I have many years experience in language learning. I believe that this is a good course. I am enjoying it so far, and am fond of the exercises, especially the writing. What is particularly appealing to me is the apparent depth of the course.
