This is a review of Rocket Korean. I have found Rocket German Level 3 to be useful, and would recommend it, but I am very disappointed with Rocket Korean.

I am 71 and in the last few years I have learnt five European languages to a good conversational level. I began to learn Korean a few months ago and have used two well known audio courses, both of which I love, and I am working every day with an excellent app that specialises in Asian languages. So I was not a complete beginner when I started Rocket Korean, hoping it would help. Unfortunately, I have found it much too difficult, with too many new words introduced much too quickly with very little help and reinforcement.

If Rocket Korean had been my first attempt at language learning, I would have given up, believing that I was either too old, or not clever enough, since I find it impossible to retain any of the material covered in its lessons. Fortunately, from my experience with the other methods I know that I can learn languages, even Korean, if the material is presented in the right way.
