Rocket Languages Reviews

this was the best tutorial ive seen around bar none. it's so easy, its a decent pace for those who don't know japanese at all. and its challenging enough to peak my interest constantly. I already knew a little japanese but this proved to me that i didnt know nearly as much as I thought. with such a complex language such as this I have so much more to learn.

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!

I like to listen to the audio lessons on my back to and from work a couple of times each. I find it really sticks only if I listen more than once. I like all the different kinds of tests available, and the language recognition software. This is much more challenging than a class you take in college, I think because of the language recognition. You can get by with terrible pronunciation in class but not with Rocket Record on even Medium mode. The only thing I found lacking was in learning hiragana, which I think can best be taught with mnemonics. I use two free apps for that and I learned hiragana very quickly with just the mnemonic flash cards and games in the apps. I also wish the website worked better in Firefox, my preferred browser. Otherwise, I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others.

I think that rocket languages is the best site to learn a new language .
I'm new here . But I hope to develop my level of language with your helps.
I love to learn new languages so rocket languages is the best way.
Thank you very very very much.....

Rocket languages really gave me the tools to succeed with my new language. It brought me to a level where I was finally comfortable speaking with native speakers and I was able to take off on my own after that. I highly recommend Rocket Languages to all my friends trying to learn a new language. Learning with this system felt practically effortless.

So far working through the Rocket Japanese lessons I am learning a lot slowly when I have time, It's very easy to pick up from where you left off and to review previous material. The speakers on the audio lessons are very clear and easy to understand which makes learning better as you can hear the proper pronunciation.

I spent ten years studying Mandarin Chinese and learned a fair amount about language learning in the process. I'm studying Japanese now using Rocket Japanese and have found it to be an efficient, effective platform for language self-learning. One small area for improvement would be to cut out the intro music and unnecessary banter in the downloadable audio lessons. They're nice to listen to the first time but get in the way while reviewing lessons. The other area that needs improvement is the Write It! lessons. The keyboard is too small and the main Hiragana keyboard only contains 45 of the 46 Hiragana characters, repeating the tsu character instead. The final Hiragana character, wo, is on the Alt keyboard rather than on the main keyboard in place of the redundant tsu character. It would also be very helpful if a Romaji keyboard was provided as it takes considerable hunting to find the right Hiragana characters for someone unfamiliar with them.

I love this! This help's me so much, me and my friend's are headed to Tokyo, Japan and other parts and this is perfect! Rocket languages really gave me the tools to succeed with my new language. It brought me to a level where I was finally comfortable speaking with japan speakers and I was able to learn about the history and language!

Well, I would be happier if I could do it for free longer because I'm only 15 and I dont have any money to pay for it, but it has been extremely helpful in the lessons I can do. I can now say greetings (basic ones), and know that Atatakai is hot in japanese, which is good to know because if I go to Japan, I would like to know how to get a good, hot cup of coffee. So, overall, great for people who can actually pay for it, not for those who can't.

The voice recognition works pretty well. It struggles with very short sounds, but overall very good. I've used other programs that ask you to speak the answers, but the pronunciation analysis makes me try much harder to say each response out loud.

The romaji is good for beginners, but already know hiragana and katakana, so the romaji is very distracting. I wish there was an option to turn off romaji so I can practice reading.
