Rocket Languages review criteria
Not as structured as I'd like. Some of the lessons seem unnecessary, as I wouldn't use them in everyday life. I have previously used Pimsleur but thought this was a better deal. I prefer the lessons with the interactive audio kind of like Pimsleur. the other lessons aren't super helpful, but I guess they are nice to have... I wish there was more repetition of phrases instead of single words. Interface on both app and browser are outdated and could use some major updates (especially the app). Kinda buggy, but that is forgiven. I also use the hellochinese app, and it is great. Might go back to Pimsleur if it wasn't so overpriced.
Seeing all the rave reviews makes me wonder if there's something wrong with me. I am not a linguistic novice; I am a native speaker of English but a fluent speaker of Korean, I majored in linguistics in graduate school, and I've studied several languages both in university classes and on my own. But I'm having a hard time making any progress in Rocket Chinese. Eleven- or twelve-morpheme sentences are just too long for a beginner in the language. And while Lin Ping's spoken examples are very clear and easy to understand, David always sounds like his mouth is full of food and everything runs together. (I'm sure his Chinese is very good, but Chinese itself tends to sound like that to start with. It's just really frustrating.)
I bought the complete premium course and am wondering if I made a terrible decision.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Warren - Thanks for your feedback. We have actually just released ( Dec 2019) new Language & Culture lessons for Rocket Chinese that start out in a more straightforward way. Not only that, we have replaced Davids parts in the audio with a native speaker!
Rocket Language is the best language learning program and I know from experience having most of them. My favorite part of Rocket Languages is ease of use.
I want to learning a language of Chinese or others language to I am interested .
It's hard to think how Rocket Chinese could possibly be improved. The content is just amazing, everything from the language itself through to very helpful culture tips as well.
The hosts are delightful, easy to understand and a pleasure to learn from. Obviously Chinese is not the easiest of languages to learn and progress would be impossible without a very well thought out and executed training program such as this.
Well done to everyone involved, I'm thoroughly enjoying my language learning and I certainly appreciate all the hard work that must have gone into developing, improving and running the course.

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 love the multiple different ways/techniques they employ to make sure that you understand it by reading, writing, listening and having conversation. By the end of the lesson I really am familiar with the words. The work bank also helps break down all the meanings if you still are having trouble after the audio. I am very happy so far.
I initially loved the course because I used it in my mobile driving back and forth to work.
But once I got to level 3 I found the explanation of the dialogue to be very lacking. Essentially it required me to sit down in front of a computer. It was no longer a course I could do while driving.
One of the most awesome programs available online to help individuals learn and practice other languages. You’re investment will not be wasted with their programs and the benefits are exponentially sound in the opportunity this program will provide you as a second language learner!
