Rocket Japanese Reviews
Find out what actual users have to say about our courses through their Rocket Japanese reviews.
I've been studying Japanese for seven years. That included a couple of on-line courses, and several of the major apps. I've concluded that the best combination of speaking, listening, writing and grammar comes from using a combination of Rocket Japanese and Japanese from Zero.
The pay-once-and own model is a welcome change from the subscription model so many apps use. My one regret with Rocket is their decision to remove the typing component. The "composing" aspect of clicking on blocks of characters is, for me, less useful than typing in my response on a Japanese keyboard.

It’s great to hear that Rocket Japanese has become such a valuable part of your learning journey, especially alongside other resources, Doug. We're glad you appreciate the lifetime access model. We offer this because we know that learning a language takes time and consistent effort, and we want to make sure you have the freedom to learn at your own pace without the pressure of a subscription. Regarding the typing component, the Composing activity is still available. If you're having trouble accessing it, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@rocketlanguages.com, and we’ll be happy to help. Wishing you continued success with your Japanese studies!
The teaching medium is very interactive. Commendable!!

Thanks, Birhanu! We appreciate your being a part of our community of German-language learners.
It's boring. There is no picture to help me connect with the phrase or words. They throw a sentence at you and have you repeat it, hoping you remember. It's no different from when you just Google Translate phrases and remember them yourself. Maybe throw an interactive game or something. I wanted a refund, but there's no refund button either. I guess I'll just take this as my loss.

Sorry to hear that, Chalampol. Please know we take our 60-day refund promise very seriously, and our support team has reached out to you to initiate the refund process. Wishing you all the best with your language learning!
This has been so far the best option for me to learn. I think is easy and you can adapt to your own needs and timeline.

It's wonderful to hear that you're appreciating the flexibility of Rocket Japanese, Lorena. Continue the excellent work!
I'm loving the approach to learning Japanese with Rocket.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you very much; that's wonderful to hear!
For my very first lesson, I found it to be too easy since I have prior training in recognizing the Japanese alphabet and Kanji. However, for most people who have no knowledge of Hiragana and Kanji, it would be quite difficult. I understand that the lesson is conversation-focus but an introduction to the alphabets would be necessary for beginners.

Thank you for the review, Li-ping! It's great to hear that you've already acquired some Japanese language skills. I suggest navigating to Rocket Japanese Level 2 via the panel on the left side of your dashboard. There, you'll find a few lessons available in the free trial that might be more suitable for your ability level. All the best!
I like this I enjoy learning different languages and this makes it easier thanks so much for rocket languages!

That's what we're all about, Nova. Keep up the excellent work; we can't wait to see where learning Japanese will take you!
I found Rocket Language through my library resources and thought, "Why not?" I am not disappointed. So far, I've only done three modules but I am learning Japanese in more ways that I never could before! Even with my years of taking French academically, it never stuck like learning Japanese through Rocket Language does. It's interactive, you get to have conversations and you get to learn some stuff about Japanese culture! I'm having so much fun with this I can't wait to practice in Japan. I'm looking forward to completing all of it and kickstarting my journey to Japan. Thanks, Rocket Language!

Thank you for being part of our Japanese language-learning community, Nandra! It's wonderful to hear that the comprehensive course structure is helping the new vocabulary stick, and we can't wait to see where this journey takes you!
Out of all the Japanese courses I took, Rocket Japanese is the only one where I'm actually learning and retaining what I learn. I could not recommend it more.
