Rocket Chinese is definitely good value for money because the course appears to continue until you finish it at your own pace. You can take a break and come back to it no matter the timescale and for this reason, it gets a 5/5. I thought the pricing was perhaps a little expensive but still worth it because many other Chinese apps lose out on subscriptions because after a year you don't get any more time and sometimes it can take a while to get into learning Chinese. One can be enthusiastic to begin with and then realise they are not quite ready to learn it within a year's limited period and money wasted. This happened to me with Rocket Chinese, when I subscribed, after half a year, I was not really ready and lost interest and was worried I might lose my money. Well now I'm ready to learn and very enthusiastic and it took me years before it started to make sense and I'm now ready to absorb the teaching. I would definitely recommend Rocket Chinese for the reasons I stated. Other Chinese apps like Chairman Bao etc are excellent but are just way too expensive for just a year's subscription and make it not worth purchasing no matter how good it is.

I think Rocket Languages gives you everything that you need to use as a foreign language learner. Input and output are important to understanding language and being able to produce it, respectively. The lessons are EXTENSIVE, which is great for a beginner who needs all the output and input possible. I'm starting to find the lessons too long; not the recordings, but the entire lessons. This may be because I have just started trying to focus more on my input (reading, listening, and doing both simultaneously), so there are parts of the lessons that make me spend more time than I'd like.

I already get output practice with a tutor two times a week (2 hrs) and with my sentence mines from Anki every day. That being said, Rocket Languages gives you a WHOLE LOT OF USEFUL sentences and phrases to remember (if you choose to remember them); they can be mined in a spaced repetition deck like Anki, Quizlet, or whatever.

All-in-all, Rocket Languages seems to give you the most comprehensive method for improving your language skills ESPECIALLY for the price! So the value is top-notch!

I'd just recommend supplementing your teachings here with your own sentence mines in a spaced repetition system like ANKI and weekly tutoring from a live, native speaker in your target language.

The more I go through the course, the more frustrating it gets. Instead of learning and practicing individual words, I'm supposed to memorize incredibly complex sentences without understanding the meaning of how all the words work together in the sentence. There is no logical progression from learning words to forming sentences. As a result, I forget everything immediately and feel demotivated. And I stumble over the pronunciation because I have to say ten new words at a time. There is no daily reinforcement of previous lessons, which makes the course meaningless over time.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thank you for your review, Daniel. If you are finding the Interactive Audio lessons quite challenging, then we would recommend going through the Language and Culture lessons first. Once you have a better understanding of how the language works, you may find that the sentences make more sense. If you continue to find yourself feeling demotivated, please don't hesitate to reach out to the customer support team on [email protected].

Excelente curso, comienza de una forma básica aumentando el nivel de dificulta y repasando las lecciones, frases y palabras aprendidas a cada paso. Las lecciones están basadas en situaciones y diálogos de la vida real y frecuentes. Gracias Rocket English y OCLS (Orange County Library System)

I'm a beginner and I'm two months into it at the moment and am very satisfied overall with Rocket Japanese. I've purchased all three levels and the Play the Part product and I believe it's money well spent. The program is comprehensive in content and well-thought out and works well for me as the core of my Japanese language learning. I am supplementing the writing
lessons with other material that involves more paper and pen repetition to help hard-wire hiragana and katana in my brain, and I'll do the same with the kanji. I think Rocket is awesome as it is and realize that no one method can cover every possible base, but I will suggest that Rocket Japanese would be even more effective if it provided links to real world audio or video featuring native speakers, or written material suited to a particular learning level in the program. Otherwise, I'm only on the 3rd Module or Level 1, and have along way to go, but so far so good.

The most I like about the Rocket Japanese is the early and frequent use of conversational lessons. I have only started the program a week ago, and so far it is has been an enjoyable experience.
I hope the platform can add links to shows to watch and songs to help learn and practice the language.

This course if very comprehensive and thorough. It gives you the tools to speak, quiz and write out the conversation as it goes.

I couldn't be more happy with a course like this.
