I love Rocket Japanese. I am able to hear myself speak Japanese. Second, I like the flash cards because it helps reinforce the new words that I've learned. I also like that I have indefinite use of the courses that I have bought.
I have taken Japanese in high school as well as community college, and have even tried staying on the language with another software program but I didn't stick to it and it wasn't as good as formal classes. A few years ago on Busuu I made another attempt at learning the language but once again I didn't keep to it. The classroom setting with an instructor who is Japanese or and American who knows the language and the curriculum of learning to read, write, and speak was more effective. However, I believe things will be different with this time around since I really want to get back into learning the language even if that means going re-going over things I learned before and picking up new words and skills along the way. From what I have experienced so far Rocket is actually I very fun and interactive learning experience that I believe will help me rekindle my interest in learning the Japanese language. ありがとうございます!。
It is teaching me Japanese very well. I already knew some but I am getting better at my pronunciation.
I am really happy with this program! All the different aspects (listening, speaking, writing,...) are helping to really understand the language.
I just started the course and I just can't stop. I´m really enjoying it.
The lesson got me thrilled with excitement, definitely would recommend it to a friend .
Very easy goin course, I do love the method they use to teach
It's really great website. I am learning Japanese then Korean, SUPERB !!!1
Currently using the trial version to see if its something I'd buy and yes it definitely is, though for the asking price even at a discount I am surprised at how buggy the podcast clip is (when i pause or try to skip back/forward the audio completely stops) and the notes tab needs a function to enlarge as there is wasted space and the box given is too small to see the notes properly forcing me to scroll up and down constantly to see what's written not to mention the scrolling does not break properly and skips note lines. Also do wish there was an option to use this offline other than downloading the podcasts, I see no need to be in browser constantly for this unless I was conversing with others online or keeping track of points.

Hi Adol - Thanks for your review. Regarding the audio issue, I am not sure whether you are using the app or a browser, so please contact customer support and they will sort you out! That is a good point re the Notes section, we will look into enlarging that area. And finally, with the iOS and Android apps you can download the tracks for offline use. You can also download the lessons themselves as PDFs.
I hate the points and streaks function and you have provide no ability to switch off!
I am preferring the Pimsleur system far more.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi G - Ha! That's because no-one has asked for it to be switched off before. We can add it to a list of suggestions to look at in the future.
