Luke’s Rocket Chinese Review

Hi (Ni Hao)

As you know I decided to learn to speak Chinese with The Rocket Language Course as the name Rocket Chinese is not just branding!

If you follow the course and want to learn quickly then it is possible to go from a novice to intermediate Chinese speaker in around two months, in fact you will be speaking Chinese the very first day you start the course, cool yes?

How impressed will my girlfriend be with me when I start chatting to her in her own language later that day I thought? So I checked it out and well, I was very happy I did, here’s why…..

• It had good reviews, good brand and an all-round quality product with many happy customers

• They offered a free introduction; you can get a 6 day trial, click here for details

• It had various learning methods that are proven to work quickly
• They say you can learn Chinese very fast, in two months

• It suited my busy schedule meaning I could pick up the course and progress in my own pace at my own convenience

• My girlfriend (who is Chinese) checked it out with me and said it was good, especially the interactive quiz’s, tests, and sample audios to perfect your pronunciation

• You can redo each lesson until you have it perfect

• For me I am more comfortable learning from my own home in my own time

• You can get family and friends involved and make it fun and educational for everyone

• Plus it was very low cost, I mean compared to enrolling at college and some of the other methods available.

I am very happy with my Rocket Chinese learning experience so have set up this site to share my knowledge with you, so you can make up your own mind if Rocket Chinese is the right method for you.

I will first cover the course contents so you know what is involved then I will share my actual learning experiences with you in timely blog posts like a learning diary or journal.

Rocket Chinese Course Contents

Ok I will begin by saying that Rocket Chinese is a fun and easy to follow course with interactive fun quiz’s and learning games that will speed up your learning curve and get you speaking Chinese very quickly.

The course is also very comprehensive and covers a lot so you need to take it easy and work through the modules in your own time to get the most out of each one.

The Rocket Chinese Premium Course

The lessons are organised into practical topics with easy to managed sections with clear recommended stages and structure, for example…

Stage 1 covers the basic language skills to survive in a Chinese-speaking environment.

• Greeting, Meeting, Food, and Drink

• Making Plans

Stage 2 you will build on the Chinese you’ve learned so far and test out your new language skills in a variety of different situations you’re likely to encounter.

• Out on the Town
• The Perfect Tourist
• Getting Around the City

Stage 3 involves more challenging conversations to really get you talking Chinese plus it also covers extra tips on the language and culture.

By the time you’ve completed these 3 stages of Rocket Chinese you’ll be able to speak Chinese freely and confidently and be ready for more advanced learning if you want to.
