Rocket Japanese Reviews

Rocket Languages is essential for anyone who is serious about learning a new language. The course is designed to help us start having real life conversations from the very first lesson. Instead of wasting time learning useless vocabulary, Rocket Languages teaches words and phrases that we are likely to use to everyday. So, if you want to immerse yourself in a new language, ditch those other language apps that are gimmicky and flash card based and instead invest in learning a new language with depth and understanding.

I'm extremely satisfied with Rocket, I have been studying Japanese for about a month and already know more than 100 words and have gotten some clue about the grammar. I mostly know 'survival phrases' at this point but could probably get by in a simple Japanese conversation. It has really been the fastest progress I've ever made with learning a language.
It is good at making you learn through repetition, by reading, writing, and listening, but not nearly as agonizingly repetitive as something like Duolingo.
It is good at encouraging you to keep going by showing your streak and having reminders that tenacity is key and you're making good progress.
I think the fact that it is a one-time payment rather than a subscription makes it worth it.
I appreciate how in-depth the lessons are and how they walk you through each and every word and their nuance. I also appreciate the culture lessons.
One complaint I have is that the vocabulary lists in audio lessons are often incomplete, or only include a word within a sentence and don't provide a definition for the word itself.
Also, words and phrases from previous lessons are often brought up again in later lessons very rarely.

I found Japanese to be a beautiful and very interesting language, and I'm very excited to be able to learn it.

Rocket Japanese is an excellent, affordable way to learn Japanese. Sayaka and Kenny work together quite well, though sometimes their interactions seem a bit fake. This program is great for those who know next-to-nothing about the language they want to learn, like me.

I really like Rocket Japanese! The lessons are fun and you can listen to them over and over. I have printed many of them out so I can study them when I'm not at my computer. I have also memorized a lot of the conversations.

Rocket Languages has put a lot of work into their website. They have a lot of tools to help you monitor your progress. The lesson-rating system gives you a good overview, there are lots of tests to evaluate how well you know the lessons, there are motivational articles and forums. And it's available wherever you are!

Rocket Japanese has to be one of the easiest ways to learn a language I have ever found, as I can pick up and pause lessons as my schedule demands as opposed to trying to work around traditional lesson styles which require me to set aside hours at a time to achieve any progress.

This program has only gotten better as the years have gone bye. I have loved the updates on the site. It is easy to use, and easier to learn. The lessons are not too long, so it doesn't ever look overwhelming. There are games too, which make learning even more fun.

As you are told in the lessons, there is no shame in making mistakes! Then there is always the chance to listen again, or trying writing the answer again...!
Even typing the Hiragana script on-screen is fun!

Overall, a great product. I was able to learn Japanese petty fast with Rocket Japanese. Great interactive audio lessons. They are very helpful when trying to memorize the lesson and understand the meanings. Culture lessons have great content. However, I am a slow reader, I wish the culture lessons had interactive audio lesson along with them as well.

Rocket Japanese helps me alot. The speaking exercises are fantastic, because you can practise speaking on your own. You don't get the pressure of saying it correctly at the first try. You can do everything in your own pace.
