Rocket Japanese V1 was great a good balance between the conversations and grammar. But Japanese V2 seems to have far too much grammar content and this is resulting in very slow progress learning and relearning the same grammatical rules . Rocket Japanese V1 was much better . This focus on grammar is reminiscent of learning French when I was at school (in the 1960s ha ha!) and I fear will have the same effect... a French qualification but with only tourist level French conversational skills. A shame ...
Response from Rocket Languages
Response from Rocket Languages: We're sorry to hear that you are finding the course too heavy on grammar. In our most recent review, we aligned Rocket Japanese to the JLPT requirements so that our course covers the standard topics a Japanese learner needs. For learners who are working towards JLPT, they have a more complete resource that they can use in their studies. For those who are not, aligning our courses simply means that you have a more concrete view of what your lessons cover. We have tried to introduce the heavy grammatical concepts in a digestible way, by splitting them up across the lessons and keeping things simple. We're confident that these updates are much more useful for all our learners, serious or casual!
The designers of this course seem to have thought of everything: practice in understanding with clear, lively speakers, practice in speaking, checking pronunciation with voice recognition recording, cultural and grammar tips, many different ways to practice and reinforce learning, videos to teach writing, lots of support. I'm enjoying the course very much.
this is awesome website i ever had for learn japanese, thank you so much. unfortunately i cannot afford to buy the package so I only use free trial, but event using free trial it can help me learn japanese well and give the basic of japanese language for daily life.
this is very good I like it a lot
Great expirience ) Thanks! I love listening to the lessons in my car on the way to work!
So far so good. This is my first language learning experience and I'm very new to it. I like the way the practice sections are set up and the repetition. I believe its been worth the investment given my limited experience with it so far.
Hi, First of all I would like to thanks Rocket Japanese for fulfilling my childhood wish of learning Japanese language. It's my childhood wish and today I have somewhat satisfied by learning free trial package. Really, its awesome and amazing site to learn Japanese Language accurately and too with diff. modern technique. It's really superb. Kudos for Rocket Japanese Learning site.
Pretty happy with this programme, and I've already recommended it to a few other people who were interested in learning some of the available languages. Having tried other programmes, including "the biggie" in the computer language-learning market, I must say that I like this better.
If I had more available time, I would really like to work on another language, but... !
I really love how the explanations are in depth on grammar and vocabulary. It is a bit expensive, but I am satisfied with the experience so it was worth the price. I also like how you can practice conversation and perfect your accent via recording. Overall I am happy and satisfied, I only wish writing practice/lessons were included in each lesson.
I am really enjoying my Rocket Japanese experience so far. You all have really created a very well rounded system for learning a new language. I love the diversity of information and mediums of teaching.
