Da jia hao!
I decided to learn the Chinese language because I've always found it quite interesting and most of the population here speak this language. I did not regret getting the full version of Rocket Chinese because of the extensive content that it has. Since I've started learning Mandarin here, I have noticed improvements in my conversational skills, writing skills, and, from there, I also have manged to recognise some Chinese characters bit by bit as I complete more lessons.

However, I think the structure of the lessons can be better if they had followed the structure of the HSK standards. Although I find the content really good so far, some words that has been taught previously appears again in the "Extra Vocabulary" section, which I think can be replaced with other relevant words like the lesson "Going shopping" did not even mention the word "shangdian" which means "store" as in stores in a shopping centre or even appears on the extra vocab section. Also, the Chinese locals here speak differently and use different words (although the same meaning) in their daily conversation, like we use Huayu (chinese language) instead of Hanyu.

In conclusion, I think Rocket Chinese is good for learning but it requires constant improvements to fill up the gaps that were probably overlooked.

It's challenging, but I hope to learn more each day. This is only my second lesson in the trial but I'm hopeful and excited. So far the lessons seem relevant in context to real life conversations and interactions. I am only on my first month of study but other lessons I've tried did not use any relevant conversation in context. I've read good reviews about rocket to lead me here, so I will make a good review from what i have seen so far. I have a specific language learning goal to be able to communicate with a korean family member in one year. I'm not sure if that is specific enough, but I'm certain that I will at least be able to have a simple conversation with her already when the same time using duolingo didn't teach me anything useful.

Rocket Arabic

This is the third Arabic program I've tried. I was told to learn standard Arabic before the Egyptian dialect, but it is a very hard language and my trip is coming up tooooo quickly. I'm so glad I changed. So many of the words are pronounced differently, yet sentence structure, etc is the same. My Arabic dictionary still comes in handy, my spelling is improving, (slowly), and my Egyptian friends are amazed how much my pronunciation has improved! (Much better than learning from someone from Morocco.) But the way the program itself is set up is awesome. The way the computer shows you exactly what letters you are pronouncing is pure genius! I may never get that Ra, but I used to think the same thing about the Kha, so who knows?? I love it!!

I can't. I have just started some days ago. To say something awesome so soon after starting should be carefully evaluated. Studying Chinese isn't easy. Maybe I have something positive to say at the end of my first course. Thank you.

I've tried other German Language software and nothing compares to the ease of use comprehension as Rocket German does. I will tell anyone who wants to learn a language to try Rocket first. They won't be disappointed.

Rocket Spanish

So this is my third attempt (from different angles) at Spanish. I tried first a podcast (not enough repetition, nothing to read, no motivation to practice, no native speakers), I have been at an in person course (highly motivating, but all at the same pace), and now this.
I like a lot the native speakers, the speed of speech, and the repetition in various learning modes. The voice recognition works better than babble (which I briefly tried as well) but still stumbles sometimes. Good thing - rocket does not make this an issue, I can just progress over it.
I much appreciated the possibility first to try whether this format motivates me - before paying. As a German learner, I am ok with the strong US focus (likely the largest market): I'd love if you considered that there are learners with a different language background and learning experience as well. Like comparing Spanish with French or German.

I previously purchased Rocket Italian and learned quite a bit in preparation for travel. I'm now onto Rocket German as a refresher: many years ago, I learned German. In my experience, using Rocket as a refresher course has been particularly effective. Sometimes the pacing of the lessons can be a bit overwhelming (especially around verbs). For instance, in the Italian course, occasionally, a huge amount of information would be dumped on the learner, and it became a matter of learning by rote. Overall, however, I think Rocket Languages are a very satisfying way to learn languages and feel more a part of the rest of the world. I think the pricing is more than reasonable.

I am very determined to speak Japanese fluently with Rocket Language methodology and am well on my way. The set up is incredibly user friendly and well constructed to give you the optimum ability to learn a foreign language very easily. I recommend Rocket Language as the best method to learn a foreign language. Domo Arigato Gozaimasu!
