Rocket Chinese Review

Chinese is without doubt one of the hardest languages to learn, and up until now learning to speak Mandarin to a level of proficiency outside of a classroom environment was almost impossible. Mandarin is a language that is easy to become frustrated with, and learners notoriously become disengaged and quit without much success. However, with the introduction of Rocket Chinese, learning Mandarin has been made into an interactive and enjoyable experience.

What To Expect From Your Rocket Chinese Learning Experience

Rocket Chinese incorporates a plethora of training exercises designed to help the student through the learning process. The program fuses fun and interactive tools such as quizzes, games, performance tests and cultural lessons to provide a complete Mandarin experience. There are 31 language and culture Lessons in total that comprise easy to follow videos and step-by-step explanations on Chinese writing. Also included are over 300 audio clips that help you master pronnounciation. Each conversation is broken down into easy to manage parts, with written transcripts of each conversation in Mandarin Chinese (Pinyin - Romanized Chinese writing) and the English translation. Language certificates are awarded as you progress through the levels to provide a “classroom sense of achievement".

The course moves through a number of subject matters that will prepare you for visiting and living in China, including Greeting, Meeting, Food and Drink, Travel, Making Plans, Out on the Town, The Perfect Tourist, Getting around the City, Points of Discussion and more. However, the Rocket Chinese approach isn’t to simply teach you words and basic phrasing, but to help you understand the linguistics and to gain a thorough understanding of the culture. The cultural lessons are especially important because they allow the learner to understand why and how certain words are used in sentences. These lessons incorporate helpful everyday phrases and common Chinese conversation, but also teach the learner how to avoid cultural faux pas that can cause embarrassment.

Rocket Languages has taken into consideration that as adults we have limited time to dedicate to learning a language, and as such the program is designed to be recreational and fun, and to fit in around a busy lifestyle. This ensures you don’t feel like you are leaving work only to go to work again! Rocket Chinese is multi-platform compatible, enabling learning on the go. The lessons can be transferred to an iPad or android device, and the audio used on a standard mp3 player. This is useful for those who don’t have hours to burn sitting at the PC and want to learn on the go, in the gym or at the airport.

Rocket Languages is extremely confident of providing a satisfying learning experience. So much so in fact that they offer a 60-day no risk money back guarantee.
