The learning experience is very good and the website lay-out and functions are easily understandable. The voice recognition doesn't work as well as with other programs (P. or RS), but well enough. Some of the best features are that I learn to write the words in Pinyin with the accents in the proper places, and that there's a transcript. I tried learning Chinese just by listening (P.) and I was not satisfied, the learning experience was somehow incomplete. It's only my second day with Rocket Chinese, but I've already learned more relevant content than with other programs (P. and D.) in the same time frame.
The price is appropriate for the content and service, but I would prefer a monthly subscription for all languages (like with P.).

We're glad to hear you are enjoying the comprehensive nature of Rocket Chinese. Happy learning!
It is a good site for survival if you are moving to China but it doesn't teach you the traditional Chinese and it doesn't really help with reading and writing because the pinyin always gets in the way and the audio lessons feel kinda long during the parts for the pronunciation and I am from Taiwan so the simplified Chinese won't kina help (no offense).

Thank you for your review, Nathan. We're thrilled to hear that you're finding the Audio Lessons helpful and would recommend Rocket Chinese to other language enthusiasts. Keep up the great work and happy learning!
The voice recognition technology is very inconsistent. It kills the experience because the lesson is based on the use of voice to qualify your speech.

Hi Michael, thank you for your review. We know that it can be very frustrating when technology doesn't cooperate. Our Customer Support team has emailed you, in order to ascertain the issue you are experiencing and to work with you to resolve it. We wish you all the best with your Chinese language learning!
A very clever format that takes the learner through rote learning deep into Chinese before he/she realises it.
Very intense and rewarding.
I am very old and use nonsense words to make pictures which I can remember. eg speak = ciao, hello in Italian
Gaoxing = happy, Gaussing means magnetising a ship.

It's great to hear that you are enjoying the course and finding it rewarding to learn Chinese. It's also awesome that you are making up reminders in your head to remember certain words - this is a great way to learn!
The app kept giving a pop up asking for a review and interrupting my study so here it is.
