I’ve used Pimsleur Chinese for over a month now, and I love how I can learn while commuting or doing chores around the house. The one thing I wish they had is being able to read the Chinese characters or at least the pinyin of the dialogues while listening. But overall it’s been a pretty decent investment.
I was considering Chinese and now I’m a little more confident that it’s possible for me. Thanks for another great review. I started following your channel for LSAT prep however everything has been great !
Nice, I’m trying Chinese on training wheels (Duolingo). Pimsleur seems like it would work well but I think Rocket may be the platform best suited to me. Great video as always, thanks!
Heyo! It's been a minute. Saw this video drop last month and forgot to watch it. I've read a lot of review stating that Pimslear is a very good all-round app for Chinese(Mandarin). I'm not a fan of the subscription model though .
How would you compare it against Rocket? I find the rocket app is very clunky but the audio lessons and exercises after are really good, if they improved their UI they would probably be head and shoulders better.
Yep, very well said. I actually think Rocket offers superior lessons and exercises, but they just need to up their game when it comes to user experience. Head to head though, substance wins out IMO
