Rocket Chinese Reviews

I have been living in China for a year now and have not had the time to learn Chinese. But when I started to make time to learn. I began looking online to see what there was out there. I looked at many other sites and none of them compared to this site. They really are the best that I have found. I like the fact that I can take the lesson anywhere I want to. Whether that be in the car or on my phone. They make it so easy to learn by slowing the words and sentences down and explain them word for word.

I like the coverage in Rocket Chinese III in terms of vocabulary and grammar. The conversations between Lin and Tao are sometimes a little corny, but mostly cover relevant and useful situations. I wish there was more connectivity across lessons. Much of the vocabulary introduced in one lesson will never appear again; it would aid learning if more words were repeated over time. On the other hand, occasionally a word that has been introduced before will be introduced again as if it's brand new. I also wish the course would more often ask me to construct sentences based on what I've already learned, rather than simply repeat a sentence that I have just heard.

Rocket Languages seems to be a way to help a learner to developing a courant vocabulary and sentences of daily usage structures of the Mandarin language.
I enjoyed working with the sound tracks during the time I have free for my language study. I am also happy that I have my lessons so that I may go over all of them once or twice again, when I fell the time to do so.

I am excited about starting this program. I feel I can actually learn Chinese and attain a level of proficiency that will allow me to work and visit China. I like the Pinyin. I like the audio and interactive lesson. I am starting this program with a very positive attitude.

The ability to download the interactive audio and listen to it offline is great for making use of my time commuting on the London underground, then practicing with the Hear-It / Say-It / Know-It when I get home in the evening.
I hope they make the mobile-app have an offline mode too one day so that I can do the hear/say/know-it practice off-line too.

I've used Rosetta Stone for other languages including Arabic and nothing matches Rocket Arabic. Rosetta Stone was completely unusable. Rocket languages is the best method I've used to date for learning a language.

What I like about Rocket Chinese are:

+Writing part: Makes you understand the strange writing system which the Chinese people use. Video recording on how to write letters makes you visualize how you are going to do this, instead of only knowing the theory.

+Audio lessons: Its like a good conversation. Good mood. Nice personalities. Possible to upload to mobile.

+Design: Simple. Progress is showed at the top and give you a little bit more motivation.

+Culture: Interesting reading throughout the learning. Makes you understand China a little bit more.

In the first time i was afraid to not get the Chinese tunes , but with this awesome Rocket Chinese I've learned a lot.. and am thinking to have the whole course here when i get free =)
to all who are making for us these lesson , zaijian!! :)

I'm just starting but feeling quite confident! The website is nice, seems well organized and clear. Let's rock and speak Mandarin!!! I'm already thinking about learning Korean and Hindi in the near future!!!

I decided to try and learn Chinese just for the challenge of it.
It is only a few days I started Rocket language method and I am very satisfied. I have already recommended it to all my friends! The small dialogues are very helpful. The phonetic exercises are great to help improve pronunciation. The Practice and level section is also excellent. I only wish there were some more games. Hope that we can soon have it on tablets.
