Rocket Chinese is really a fantastic way to learn Chinese. No matter where I am I can always work on a lesson. I think it is helping me a lot. I recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning Chinese.
I love that I can come back to this any time I want with no time pressure to finish the course. A valuable tool to add to my self guided learning of Mandarin. The audio is so useful, like having my own teacher 24/7.
Super motivating and very easy to understand. Lin Ping and Dave work great together- providing a lower and higher voices to attune your ear to a variety of possible sounds when listening to Chinese, as well as giving different accents. It's fun to practice and I can't wait to get further into the lessons. Loving it so far :D
After loving the Spanish rocket language and purchasing it, I tries to Chinese trial. People have said my language skills are improving - it's definitely more effective than Rosetta Stone. Thanks rocket!
I feel very comfortable with this course. It's no-pressure learning at its finest. I look forward to the future lessons with much anticipation! I need 200 characters, so I'm going to finish up by saying some random things, such as . . . .
This reviews Rocket Languages' Chinese Premium and Premium Plus. The program is well organized in its audio and website. Audio lessons use a typical conversation to teach new words and basic grammar lessons. Lin Ping, the teacher for the course, has a good clear Northern Chinese accent and speaks the majority of the time. It is peculiar that she converses with Dave, an Austrailian with a good accent, but not one I'd try to imitate if I was trying to blend in while visiting. This is fixed in the Premium Plus section. There is some English to introduce the subject and context, but the majority of the lesson is repeating words while you can follow a written transcript in Pinyin and I think Simplified characters. Then you practice memorizing by repeating sections of the conversation, hearing and identifying words, and speaking the words in Chinese knowing their equivalent in English. (hard!) The only major complaint is a lack of a translation dictionary to double check if the words you are adding to your vocabulary have the right definition (the audio tapes breeze through definitions only once); when looking up a word you will most often find it used in other lessons/sentences.
So far I like that method better then the pervious I have tried. It is simple and interactive. I like the voice recording revision. I would suggest to give a choice of traditional Chinese as well.
This program is awesome as it allows you to adjust to different learning styles and discover which is best for you! Right now I am living in China and this program is very accurate compared to the real thing. I bought this program because of its many styles of teaching but also because of its accountability!
I started using the Rocket Chinese program, only used three of the lessons so far. However this product is phenomenal, its perfect for starting to get to know the basics and then can move on to the advance stuff.
I liked how they allow you to come back and do the Hanzi, or you can do it together. This depends on the level of Chinese you are at.
