In my pursuit of trying to study Mandarin, I have tried many, many, many courses, both in-person and online, and never quite found one that helped me stay motivated. In each case, I never felt like I was absorbing anything and would become discouraged really easily.
After trying a few lessons of Rocket Chinese, I can honestly say that this is by far the best course I’ve tried so far! I can not say enough good things about this course! Among the many things I love about it:
1. The price: the price is extremely reasonable especially given it’s a lifetime membership!
2. The course structure: the fact that the overall course initially focuses on oral rather than both oral and written skills. While I definitely want to learn the written portion and the course has more than enough to cover that in later lessons, I really prefer to focus on my conversation skills initially especially given that pronunciation is extremely critical in Mandarin! Many courses focus on both from the start, which ends up overwhelming and discouraging me.

Please contact customer support about the Siri issue. It is probably an easy fix. Also, offline usage on the app is coming soon!
I have bought all three stages of rocket Spanish and it´s amazing. It´s so easy to follow, i am definitely learning a lot. One thing i love about American companies like rocket languages is that they really know how to teach: it's idiot proof which i consider a strength and not patronizing at all. One of the problems i faced with language learning is the speaking aspect and rocket languages covers this so well, a lot more than Rosetta Stone that is more expensive and in my opinion not worth it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone; value for money and a lot of content for you to go over AND there is no expiry date. It's so nice to have this account forever and not on some sort of time share. I think that makes this a million times better than Rosetta Stone as i don't feel pressured to learn and can learn at my own pace, which is still fast but without the time pressure. I actually believe i can reach fluency with Rocket's help and now i'm more determined than ever. I am also thinking of learning Chinese and i'm so happy Rocket has a chinese version too. I have aspirations to be a translator and i definitely would recommend Rocket to anyone so is thinking on the same lines. Clarity over complexity: this is the Rocket experience. 100/100
I love that it uses phrases to teach the vocabulary and doesn't spend hours on learning individual letters. The ability to practice conversations and see how well you are pronouncing the foreign words is a great benefit.
I've enjoyed learning Spanish with Rocket Languages, but delving into Korean proved to be unexpected challenging. Any Korean teaching material that starts from the beginner level should include lessons on Hangul, but that's lacking in Rocket Language Korean. Fine, I taught myself Hangul using other sources. Not being familiar with Asian languages in general, Korean was much harder for me to pronounce and speak quickly. The speaking exercises are way too demanding in terms of accuracy of pronunciation and the speed at which you have to respond and often my responses get truncated halfway because I'm trying to remember the exact wording. From the very first introductory lesson, there are a lot of more complicated phrases and vocab that get thrown in which are tested, and almost impossible for a beginner to get right. It's been a frustrating experience all around. I guess I'll stick to Romance languages, and use other materials to learn Korean.

Hi Mengsha - We took your feedback onboard and now the very first Language and Culture lesson is indeed on Hanguel and Korean pronunciation in general.
I have used other language learning software products in the past, but was a deception. I decided to try Rocket Language because I wanted to learn somethings Language's, because i want travel around the world, is a good form to learn. A friends recommend me this page and i hope the best.
I enjoy the courses because they are well structured and easy to follow. Most importantly, I find the user friendly platform makes it simple to navigate the lessons. I would like, however, some more texts to read for comprehension testing.
Rocket Italian is the most comprehensive Language course, easy to navigate, just easy to use for fastest results. I just wish I had more time to put into it. I would be further along than I am. Thank you Rocket Italian for all of your help in making me more efficient and proficient in learning the most beautiful language which is Italian.
Excellent course. I download the interactive audio lessons and practise in the car as I am driving. The only downside with this is that I do actually see the text. Doing the work on the website is very helpful. It is really helping me improve my German.
I love the way the courses are organized... stimulating interactive conversations (with explanations!) that can be downloaded as MP3s, along with voice recognition/replay, voice-to-text translation (and correction!), role playing on my laptop and even more detailed information for further reading. They did an awesome job with Rocket French!
Loving it. Being a language teacher myself I was very skeptical with the course but decided to give it a try.
I am now so in love with it that even though I have not yet finished the first module, I am already begging you guys to release the Intermediate level!
There is just one thing though, the Arabic letters in the writing tests could be larger as well the virtual keyboard - the writing is so tiny that I need magnifying lenses to read it. Apart from that, perfect.
Thanks Amira and team!
