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.

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.

I bought your package several years ago as I was really impressed with the playful and useful way you try to help us learn French. Getting a new job where I have to improve my French was all the incentive I needed to get back to some serious learning - thank you for still being there for me

At first I thought that Rocket Japanese was a great course. However, I became very disappointed with the way they structure things. The conversations are very limited and the grammar is poorly explained. Japanese is a very structured and logical language and Rocket Japanese does a poor job of conveying the structure. I am overall very disappointed with the course.

I bought the entire Japanese course, yet Rocket continues to send me marketing and promotional emails telling me to buy their japanese course when I already have.

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback and thoughts however, we know that many of our learners are just starting out with Japanese or learning a second language for the first time. That’s why we focus on keeping our courses accessible by starting with simple conversations and grammatical explanations and gradually moving on to more advanced topics.

In high school I took Japanese, in college Russian and Chinese, but that was a long time ago. I needed a refresher. I tried other companies' courses, but especially for Mandarin, Rocket is by far the best. Its competitors either go too fast, go too slow, or are simply inadequate. Rocket courses have just the right balance between depth and ease of learning. They also provide plenty of extra learning tools that I'm still exploring, such as flash cards.

After buying the Mandarin course and working with it for a couple of days, I was so impressed that I bought both the Japanese and Russian courses to do after my Mandarin review.

I gave four instead of five stars to "buy again" only because Rocket doesn't currently offer anything else I need. If the company added levels to Russian and Chinese, or offered a Modern Hebrew course, I'd buy those.

I chose Rocket French after trying various other systems to improve my French language. It is a much more efficient and enjoyable experience and I am content with the outcomes. A great advantage for me is that there are no time limitations to complete the course. This gives me the ability to study at my own pace and repeat any lessons, or all of them, if I need to do so. Additionally, writing, speaking and listening as part of each lesson, maximises my learning experience and the quiz provides the means of testing how I have performed

It took me a long time to get going due to a hectic schedule. Really like the package, and the considerable thought put behind understanding the students' mind. The audio quality is excellent, the language script in devanagari is well done. Nice package.
