Good but it would be better if you had more help with the pronunciation of the Mandarin words. I know I can listen to your recording and mine but I can’t seem to figure out how to fix my pronunciation to match what is taught

Response from Rocket Languages: Thank you for your review. If you haven't checked it out already, you will probably find lesson 1.5 Pronouncing Chinese and Greetings helpful. Other than that, just keep listening to the words and phrases, and recording yourself, to really help tune your ear to Mandarin pronunciation. All the best!
das ist gut fur unsere germen spreschen, horen und schreiben.
The app is very helpful i have been able to understand more anime and some of my friends, thank you.
我以前很喜欢学习汉语但是没有机会来学习 所以到现在我也很想来学习中文，中文是很重要有很多人也很喜欢学习，我也是那一个，谢谢!!
I'm very happy with the format and tools provided. It's always good to approach learning from multiple angle, and super important in language learning to have conversations. Rocket is providing all these things. The one thing I don't like is that the early lessons are teaching the "familiar" form of you, and not teaching the "formal" at all. I'm learning for the sake of speaking to my father's caregiver, and I know she prefers Usted. I've also gotten horrible stares when I accidentally used familiar conjugation when trying to practice Spanish with Spanish speaking acquaintances. I know there are places that don't use the formal, but in places that do, I believe survival Spanish (ordering from a menu, etc) would be much better used with the formal, which is always respectful with people you don't know. And would be understood as meaning to be respectful even in places it's not commonly used.

Response from Rocket Languages: Thanks so much for your review. We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the Rocket teaching method! As for formal vs. informal forms of address in our lessons, we do start out with informal conversations in the first few Interactive Audio lessons, but if you keep going, you will find formal conversations as well, as early as Lesson 1.4! And if you're looking specifically to practice ordering formally in a restaurant or at a bakery, you can find conversations on those topics in Module 4. You can also find both the formal and informal forms being taught right from the very beginning in our Language & Culture lessons. I hope that this is helpful!
Honest review
The voice recognition could use some work, but it's fun to use and definitely gets you speaking out loud. I haven't really seen any features offered yet that's worth the price. I'm basing that off of what's offered for free on the internet already.
Another feature though that deserves praise is the 'Play as' feature where you take the role of someone in a conversation. It's honestly a 5 star feature on its own.
Thinking about this in depth is making me realize how much is actually offered and how much I'm paying for it... I could only think of a couple good things (and they're basically the same thing). I can't recommend this to a friend while I'm thinking about discontinuing use of it myself. Wow
the lessons are really, but I would prefer more time left in the intro to repeat the sentence after Claire, instead of that time used to make "jokes" by Martin
Nice conversation planned especially for beginner level .
so far so good getting to grips wish the quiz was slightly more than 5
