Rocket Chinese (Mandarin) Review
The Rocket Mandarin Chinese course provides you with many different Chinese language learning tools. You get lifetime access to all of the online resources mentioned below.
First is the 31 Rocket Mandarin Chinese interactive audio lessons. Unlike other courses these audio lessons come complete with transcripts in English and Mandarin Chinese (Pinyin and Characters).
NOTE: Pinyin is a phonetic way of writing Chinese so that an English speaker can sound out the words, although Pinyin is used by Chinese speakers as well especially for typing Chinese into a computer. This is of course much more useful than traditional Chinese characters for Westerners learning Chinese.
The transcripts allow you to follow along and learn some written Chinese at the same time as you are interacting with the Audio lessons and learning to speak Chinese. After each audio lesson comes a quiz to solidify your understanding of the material.
Next up are the 31 Rocket Mandarin Chinese online language lessons. They come complete with full written explanations and embedded audio clips. They are highly interactive, and include quizzes and lots of vocabulary training.
A rather unique aspect of Rocket Chinese is the 31 Chinese Culture lessons. While other courses will send you to a Chinese speaking country with no knowledge of how to behave, Rocket Chinese covers all the culture and etiquette details you need to keep the Chinese people you meet smiling with you instead of at you!
Another great learning method available to you with Rocket Chinese are the software learning games:
1. Rocket Chinese MegaVocab: This software game contains over 1000 picture/word combinations and really helps to reinforce your understanding and recognition of the words.
2. Rocket Chinese MegaAudio: This is an extension of MegaVocab that incorporates the audio for each of the picture/word combinations.
On top of all this, there is the Rocket Chinese Learner's Forum, where you can interact with other students and with your Rocket Chinese instructors & other native Chinese speakers. Here you can tackle common problems as a group.
