Rocket Chinese Reviews

Thanks to Rocket Chinese, now I'm looking forward to heading back to China, and impressing all my friends in Dong Guan with all that I have picked up in such a short time, Its got brilliantly laid out lessons which really help you grasp the language in a shorter span of time! EXCELLENT tool to learn a new language. If anyone talks to me about learning a new language, I am quick to recommend Rocket Languages, Its better than enrolling into an institute, I say! Especially if you don't have the time to travel and find time to study only at odd hours of the day!!

I have had this course over 2 years. I just keep plugging away at it and reviewing it. I am pleased with the hear your own voice feature. I have my money's worth. Eventually I will speak Mandarin fluently.

Rocket Chinese is very helpful if you are studying outside China. Constant practice of conversation, listening is much harder if you are not in country. Rocket Chinese helps simulate total immersion. Also the testing tools allow focus on the most difficult, nagging expressions.

I love the fact that I can pay once for this product and not have to worry about paying every month. It gives me the flexibility to learn whenever I want without trying to cram as much as I can before something expires. The lessons are great and I love the review process that allows me to grade and compare my voice to the other. This is definitely one of the best and most flexible programs for learning Chinese on the net!

It`s a good thing, i was afraid at first it could give me trouble learning it but hey, here I am i can do good by myself if am left all alone in China thanks to rocket chinese for enabling me understanding chinese

Great way to learn another language, very helpful recordings which train you to remember. I've been studying for 2 months and already many of my friends who speak natively are shocked at how much I can speak.

I highly recommend Rocket Languages. The online courses are excellent and very user friendly. As a beginner in Mandarin, I really appreciated the pace and teaching style of the instructors. I especially appreciated the explanations related to grammar. I was so impressed that I purchased an additional license for Level 1 for a family member and purchased Level 2 for myself. I'm looking forward to continuing on with Level 3 once it's released. Customer service via email was quite helpful and quick to respond. Overall, I highly recommend this program.

Just after one day with this program and the help of flash cards I made to help me study, I feel comfortable greeting someone in mandarin while actually knowing what I am saying, I know this will be a long journey but I feel this program will be crucial in getting me to speaking fluent mandarin!

I am just restarting to learn Mandarin using Rocket Chinese because I had been too busy teaching and building new courses at my current school in China.

Positive:
1. Listening, Reading (in pinyin - latin script and Simplified - chinese script), Writing (initially in pinyin) and speaking is available from the very first lesson.
2. Step by step in a logical fashion based on what would seem to be logical needs of a person new to learning the language.
3. Clear and colourful interface that is easy to follow.
4. There are now cute little incentive badges that give you a sense of your progress. These complement the already colourful interface, but I think this is helpful for both younger and older learners

While I like the course layout very much, there are just a couple of tiny problems that I suspect will be addressed quite quickly on the technical side.

1. I haven't yet figured out how to prevent my browser (Firefox) from asking permission everytime RocketChinese wants to use the camera/microphone. Because I am used to the 7/24 customer service, email is obviously slower, but their responses are usually within 24 hours... so, not intolerable.

This program provided me with the audio I need to feel more comfortable with my Chinese class. I do like it but was a little disappointed that my account did not update when I purchased the premium plus. I hope this will be fixed in a timely manner.
Overall, I think this program is worth the investment I will recommend it to my classmates
