I hate to write this, but the English guide's strange midcentury Boston brahmin accent is so distracting that I cannot hear the Korean being spoken. Aside from the strange English, the phrases used for study are very long and not broken up into memorizable parts, and there is no option to not include the very long and unnecessary "extra vocab" from the audio in the flashcards and other study.
Overall this seems to be teaching canned phrases to be stored in short-term memory, rather than starting out small and forming a true understanding of the language for long-term learning. This might be good if you're visiting Korea for a short period and need to parrot some emergency phrases, but I may have to look elsewhere to actually learn to understand Korean. Pretty disappointed in how much money I spent.

Hi Hannah, I am sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy aspects of Rocket Korean. Did you use the "Play it!" activities? They are designed to get you speaking Korean in conversations. If you turn off the voice recognition then you can "make up" conversations.
Pros:
- Good overall structure
- Gamified
- Lots of content
- Lifetime access
Cons:
- Grammar lessons should be more in-depth.
- Writing section should be taken more seriously instead of the "it's almost impossible for you to learn this so here's some easy random stuff".
Overall this may be the best online package out there. However, in order to be perfect it needs to consolidate its writing and grammar section. I have found the structure to be really useful in obtaining some key phrases or words but there's almost no info regarding phrase construction and rules so it's not that easy to use what I've learned so far as building blocks for new phrases and expanded meanings.
Very interesting lessons. Now can know how greeting are conjugated in Nihongo!
Very excited and recommend many people to join the lesson.

I like this course . It's so convenient for new learner.
My experience with this is satisfied,keep growing rocket language have a great future ahead .
Rocket French's format, utilizing audio and written presentations and including opportunities to test one's progress have made learning French fun and achievable. We visited France when I had be using Rocket for about 3 months, and I wasn't fluent but I was able to speak some and understand a lot! My highest achievement was to ask for and understand directions (in French) to the ladies' toilet at the art museum in Lille! One suggestion: add a jump forward/back 15 seconds function on the audio tracks to allow a skipping or reviewing more easily. Merci, merci, merci, Claire and Paul!
Awesome website for learning languages! I now love German!
The courses itself are well structured and have intuitive user interface. I also like that you often repeat phrases in next lessons.
However the performance of the web site and its responsiveness is not always very good. I had few days when lessons hangs and I also see that while doing speaking exercises it is quite often that it will not catch the phrase I speak even after 2-3 attempts.
This has been so far the best option for me to learn. I think is easy and you can adapt to your own needs and timeline.
