I am surprised to be enjoying learning Japanese. It IS challenging and takes effort, but the (literally) infinite patience of the instructors and light-hearted nature of the instruction keep it enjoyable. Teaching with conversations initially seems daunting. but it's broken down so well, that you will feel accomplishment by lesson's end. 4 stars on the service only because I haven't needed it yet.
My fiance got this for me as an early valentines day/anniversary present. At first I was skeptical because I've tried learning Japanese so many ways for about 2 years now and I couldnt find anything that I could use on the go that would also let me practice vocally. I even took a college class that was tough, mostly just writing, and hard for my busy schedule.
At first I didnt realize all the lessons had writing and speaking and then I started playing with the app more and I noticed all the awesome features it comes with, including almost 400 hours of lesson time in the 3 levels! I have the app on my phone and I use it during breaks at work and durring my long commutes.
The only complaint I have is that the voice recognition has trouble when I'm driving on the highway and other times it stops before I'm done speaking. Otherwise Rocket Japanese has been perfect for my lifestyle this far!
I am very determined to speak Japanese fluently with Rocket Language methodology and am well on my way. The set up is incredibly user friendly and well constructed to give you the optimum ability to learn a foreign language very easily. I recommend Rocket Language as the best method to learn a foreign language. Domo Arigato Gozaimasu!
I studied Japanese in college over ten years ago and was looking for a program to get me back into learning this language. Although its only been a short while, I have to say that this is a great program. Having used other language learning programs in the past (Pimsleur), I can say that this one is more comprehensive, giving you multiple methods of learning in order to cement each lesson into your brain. I would recommend to my friends and family.
Rocket languages is great. I am now studying Japanese with this course. The content is awesome and it is all relevant and practical material. It isnt random vocabulary that I would never use, for that reason i think it is great. It provides many exercises to drill your learning and commit the language to memory.
I love how the lessons are all grouped in their respective categories together, but if I could offer a recommendation, it would be to have a comprehensive learning path that bridges the categories together. Right now the lessons are in an order that starts with all the Audio Lessons, then into lessons that are reading based, then lessons that are cultural based. These are all grouped together. I feel having them combined in a way that would spread them out so that you dont have to be stuck without audio lessons or cultural explanations for things for a long period of time because you have to go through all the modules in that section. I hope this makes sense. Of course this may just be a preference of mine, but could be a great addition to the course. :)
I researched several programs before deciding on Rocket Japanese. After only a week I can have basic conversations and understand bits of conversations. I'm very excited to see where I am in a month. So far this has been a great experience and has really helped my understanding of the language.
During the six day free trial, I have been extremely impressed with the user interface as well as the teaching techniques offered by Rocket Japanese Premium. The sections are well-written and the audio is very clear and concise. I absolutely love the fact that I can speak Japanese and review my pronunciation immediately. Five stars all around for an amazing e-learning tool for learning Japanese.
A really fun way to learn the language and gain an understanding of the culture at the same time! Love it that I can learn at my own pace (with closely monitored learning progress) and see myself picking up speaking, listening and writing skills concurrently. The program is very user-friendly, and I find the recording function particularly useful in helping me converse like a native speaker.
Rocket Language is a great learning tool. I had put it down for a while but just picked it back up again and I am loving the changes. It is teaching me conversational Japanese and writing which is very important. I do it in conjunction with podcasts from japancast.net and it has been great.
I like the mix of writing speaking, etc. And I like that it is all online and I can do it at my own pace. I am hoping to be able to read and write well in a few months and I feel like I am making great strides to get there.
Thank you ROCKET LANGUAGE!!!
Started Rosetta Stone at first and did not like the structure of how they want you to learn to how I ACTUALLY learn. I purchased this after a trial because after 10 minutes of Rocket-Japanese I learned 5 useful phrases that I still haven't forgotten. With Rosetta Stone I was just confused because there is no explanation of anything you're seeing or saying. Rocket-Japanese tells you the word in English/Japanese and writes the word in English, Hiragana and Katakana. Being able to hear accents and pronunciation has helped how I sound greatly. I will continue to use this as well as supplement another useful tool.
Great stuff!
