Rocket Japanese Reviews

I was pleasantly surprised by Rocket Japanese, I had tried other language learning websites before. But, none of them gave me the feeling of control that Rocket Japanese gives. With this website I can choose what I want to learn: when, for how long, and how much I want to cover. I think anyone serious about Rocket Japanese should at least give it a try.

The game so much it feels like your learning a lot but it cost way to much. Writing is tooo hard but speaking is crazy easy and i memorize it fast. Thank YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH

I'm still very new but I think it's very helpful, especially with a language like Japanese as I can't read the writing - yet! What I didn't know when I started was the Rocket Japanese would help me learn to read it as well!!! AWESOME!!!

Probably the best language tool I've come across. Actually love it more than Rosetta Stone and Duolingo. I will definitely be paying for the full product.

The 6 day free preview is a blast to field languages to see if they will work for you. I strongly recommend everyone consider the ASL which is not what I typically expect to find in language courses. Full immersion with video only. Great for hearing and hard of hearing who are lip readers.

Tempted to overload with multiple languages (looked at Japanese. After one look I have a far better understanding of written Korean)

Absolutely worth it!

The Rocket Japanese course is simple to use at the earlier levels, but with increasing level of detail and complexity needed for such a complex language.

Audios are clear and enjoyable. Unfortunately the mobile apps don't always seem to work as well as the web based programme - particularly for recording - otherwise I would rate higher.

Love everything so far, but I’ve noticed that you are changing the voice actors with the audio files. In my opinion, I’d prefer the original combination of the English Kenny and the ‘Osaka’ kansai-jin Sayaka...especially Sayaka, whose accent, in both nihongo-ga and eigo-ga is very helpful in terms of realistic Japanese phonetics. The new Sayaka is less ‘endearing’ and the new Kenny-san has perhaps a too refined Kanto-style accent.

This app is the best for Japanese. I would Definately recamend it... great for learners.!!!!

My favorite thing about Rocket Japanese is the amount of practice it gives you for each thing it teaches. The repetition is very helpful, as well as the variety of ways it repeats things (listening, speaking, writing, flashcards, etc.). My only complaint is that the content is highly geared towards tourists, which I didn't know before buying. Many of the phrases aren't very helpful for someone planning to live in Japan.

I started learning Japanese for a vacation I was going to take in Japan (That got canceled due to the outbreak), after having taken a year of Japanese in college about 15 years ago. The lessons are good and clear overall. Sometimes they do not give very good explanations of the grammar they introduce, for example using -you in one lesson and -sou in the same and never explaining the difference. The quizzes can also be frustrating, because sometimes a lesson teaches multiple very similar words, and the flash cards do not make it clear which reading they are looking for. It'd be more useful if the quizzes had different combinations of the vocabulary and grammar we learned in the lesson instead of just repeating the exact phrases. That way we'd be learning the concepts and not just memorizing phrases.

Overall though the lessons are very useful and very helpful for learning Japanese when you don't have much time to spend.

An interesting experience and interaction for learning Japanese, a solemn language.
