Rocket Japanese Reviews

I am so happy with this product! I've learned so much over the course of several months. It is well worth the price, especially if you can get it on sale. Customer service deserves much love as well! Both times I've contacted them and they were able to fulfill my requests no questions asked. Thank you, Rocket Language!

I have been studying Japanese through various methods for about 2 years. Having completed most of the first level of Rocket Japanese, I am impressed with the format used. Everything is broken down nicely, and appeals to multiple learning styles. I like that fact that I can go back, and review the dialogs, and practice them in real time, with grading on pronunciation. This is a key feature for me, as it greatly improves my conversational flow. The only thing that I see as a detractor is that the speed of the dialog is still rather slow in comparison to actual spoken Japanese. It is still fast enough to leave me tongue tied if practicing conversation, though. Overall, this is one of the best. I have tried multiple other methods, and Rocket Japanese ranks as my number 1/2!

I've taken up to the Advanced II level of Japanese classes at my university. I made the decision to stop taking classes and self-study so that I would graduate sooner. For someone with ADHD like me, Rocket Languages is perfect! There's much more structure that Rosetta Stone or JapanesePod101, and it's more accurate than Duolingo. As long as you purchase during one of the sales, it's a great deal for the price and perfect for self-study or supplementing classes!

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.

Having completed the Level 1 Japanese course I feel confident saying that is a great value for the price. This is a solid course that does a good job of teaching basic grammar, vocabulary, and the hiragana and katakana writing systems. A decent amount of practice material is provided as well. My only major complaint is that the voice recognition software used to grade pronunciation is not reliable, which can be frustrating as it is used for graded assignments. However the course is constantly being improved and I believe it's only a matter of time before that final wrinkle gets ironed out. Even if it doesn't, this is still a great place to start learning the Japanese language.

I started recently, so far so good. Very complete, very entertaining. The explanations and examples are so easy to follow. Love to use it on my computer, on my ipod. Have the capacity to download the audio and listen to it while driving and practicing is so convenient. Even going to sleep listening to it.

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 app is the best for Japanese. I would Definitely recommend it... great for learners.!!!!

I have tried different online courses so i might say I have seen quite a bit but so far this is the best. It explains in details structure, grammar and also emphasizes the important things to remember which a lot of other programs lack and are focused only on the vocabulary. The dialogues are also well written and in a funny way which makes it easier to concentrate and remember.
Definitely the best online course so far!

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 it's been worth the investment given my limited experience with it so far.
