Compared with the course I was using previously, Rocket Japanese is first rate. The other one gave no grammar info, only said right or wrong (you had to figure out how to correct something that contained an error) and got worse the more advanced you got. I have been using RJ only a few days, but feel that I am progressing much faster. No complaints so far.

This program is great for new learners and has helped me vastly in learning Japanese. On top of that the voice lessons are great and are downloadable so you can practice and learn were ever you go!

This program also doesn't just teach you words on their own it helps in using it in a sentence, using correct grammar, and counting. Overall I would definitely recommend this program for new and returning learners.

The (new) japanese course #1 was great, it made me buy #2 ... which is a mess. The audio is not good, the japanese accent of the english speaker is wrong, the delay for repeating the word is wrong and the content is sometime the same as #1.
To make it worse, the content is highly specific, like opening a bank account, which is really boring and useless for a beginner.

Great program. Excellent teaching methods. Practical writing exercises. Great audio review to practice.with Rocket I do not need to go to a language classes. I have been learning Japanese for 10 years . Old methods were tedious and expensive. I have achieved a lot with Rocket .

Thank you so much for re-recording the Japanese modules entirely with native speakers so that we can have an immersion experience in Japanese. That is so important. I found the original, non-native Kenny's voice to be very jarring. It is so much more pleasant to listen to the gentle speaking voice of the native male speaker. The format has always been excellent and I'll be devoting more time to Rocket lessons now.

I'm learning much more than I thought was possible online and having a good deal of fun Rocket Languages really gave me the tools to succeed with my new language .I love the way the process tests you not only on your memory but also on your enunciation of the language. Many times my intonation is not what it should be and the system catches it. Thank you Rocket Language

I am a beginner and have only taken a couple of lessons but I found the experience enjoyable (1.1 and 1.2). Very easy to follow along with the speakers. That plus the great discount price made me jump to purchase the first level premium. I would certainly recommend to anyone who wants to learn Japanese.

I highly recommend the Rocket Japanese course.
I'm a Brazilian living in London. So I'm learning a foreign language in English, which is not my native language in the first place. But I'm really enjoying, the content is very clear and easy to understand.
I've seen some other reviews complaining about the "new" Kenny, but I must say I prefer the new one. The fact that he is native helps a lot, even without the whole "enthusiasm" the former one had.
I started last year and had to stop for a while as I didn't have time to continue, but now I've started over and noticed the new narrator and new Kenny as well. I found a good surprise.

My husband and I watch a lot of Japanese television like anime and some regular TV shows and thought how awesome it would be to actually be able to understand what the characters are saying without having to read subtitles. We also would like to take a trip to Japan in the future. We were both reluctant to start learning Japanese because we've heard how difficult it can be and that it takes years to become just somewhat fluent. But, we decided to take the leap and signed up for several Japanese learning tools. We started with Rosetta Stone and after 2 days of being on the trial version, we cancelled it because it wasn't working for us. We weren't retaining anything. Then, we found Rocket Japanese and we couldn't believe that we were actually able to have a short conversation after just 2 days!! Rocket Japanese is the easiest and most intuitive program out there for learning Japanese. It's so much fun and so interesting that I spend hours doing the lessons without realizing that much time had passed. I'd recommend Rocket Languages to everyone trying to learn a new language. Arigatō to the creators of this program, I am forever grateful to have this resource!

Bought all three levels in Rocket Japanese. One of the best courses available in the market. I am so happy with the course. I will surely recommend this course to my friends. Mobile app could be more user friendly. Few more enhancements in the mobile applications like offline reading could have been better. Happy with the website User Interface. Overall, happy with the course.
