Rocket Japanese Reviews
Find out what actual users have to say about our courses through their Rocket Japanese reviews.
With a language like Japanese, there are a lot of little things that aren't obvious but the lessons progressively show you how each little thing works. I really feel like by the end of Level 1, I will be ready for my trip to Japan.
And hopefully once I finish level 2, I will be able to understand shows in other languages!
I have started the free trial for about 2 hours now. So far, it has been good
I love how interactive it is and very straightforward
Being able to engage in any kind of dialogue while learning a language is crucial to establishing a sense of comfort with using the words in context and conversation for the future. Pronunciation being checked for accuracy through my mic is a big deal when wanting to use a language outside of casual engagements and I love that Rocket provides a service to hear my attempts at words and catch whether I'm saying things correctly or using the correct words at all. Flashcards are my favorite study tool and having options to customize what info appears on them is a nice benefit. The price is a little steep without a promo code, which is a bit prohibitive for some of my peers, and though understandable, it would be nice to see rarer languages featured like Hawaiian, Navajo, or Gaelic. Great product overall though and I can already tell I'm learning better with it than I did with the 'owl app'.

My second day onto the Japanese course. I like the product and in particular its ability to hear from my pronunciation and give a rating. The contents are relevant and the hosts voices are pleasant. I can also learnt using my PC as well as mobile.

We so happy to hear you are enjoying Rocket Japanese so early into your course. Remember, with lots of practice, you'll be speaking fluent Japanese in no time. All the best!
I'm liking the way it teaches through audio lessons. I tried Duolingo and hated how it taught and didn't make or let you memorize the words you were "learning". This is so much better. 9/10. (price is steep, but worth it).

at first i was skeptical because of the high price but i am very satisfied with my experience. the dialogue is a bit too cringy at times but overall the exercises is very good i had fun learning new words and phrases using the microphone voice detection and the different quizzes after the audio lesson i recommend the program and will likely try to learn other languages on this site.

Thank you for your review. It's so great to hear how much you are enjoying the course. Our Japanese lessons are currently being rewritten so hopefully you will find this new dialogue more enjoyable. All the best!
So far I really like the amount of speaking in this course. Some of the words are very hard from the beginning and trying to learn the Kanji at the same time is a bit difficult but I'm hoping it repeats a lot over time so that I may get better at speaking and reading the language.

We're so happy to hear you are enjoying the speaking tools we have woven into Rocket Japanese. In terms of repetition, you might enjoy the reinforcement tools that we offer with the course, like "Flashcards," "Hear it! Say it!" etc., they are a great way to get reading and talking in Japanese.
When it comes to learning Japanese as complete beginner, pronunciation, listening and speaking are very important to me. Rocket Japanese provides very good speaking exercises along with microphone input that accepts the speech if pronunciation is correct.

Hi Dana, thank you for leaving a review. It's great to hear that you are finding our voice recognition feature to be a helpful tool for your language-learning journey. When you start learning a new language we also consider those beginning elements such as pronunciation really important to nail, so it's awesome that you have had success in these areas using Rocket Japanese.
