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... !
This would very helpful to my new career as online English Teacher for Japanese Students, the materials are navigation friendly and categorize depends to the learners , I learned a lot for my first use to the words to correct pronunciation.
I would say Rocket Japanese has been the best self study aid for teaching myself Japanese . I have tried other Japanese learning aids like Books , audio files and other software , I can say for that Rocket Languages has a clear advantage , Its clean and simple layout with easy to follow instructions has been making it effective and comprehensive and user friendly .
I would highly recommend this product to others .
started using Rocket Spanish about 6 monthsago, when I spoke almost no Spanish. I first visited Japan in 2014, with maybe 10 words. Thanks to Rocket Japnese, I was able to move to Japan and I can now speak with people every day...
I have tried a number of different courses and approaches in my quest to learn Japanese. Books (Genki course), online resources (such as Busuu and Duolingo), purely listening based (Pimsleur) and software (Rosetta Stone). Together with the Genki course books, Rocket Japanese is by far the most comprehensive of them all. One gets to train different modes, like listening, speaking, writing and so on. The voice recognition seems to have some minor glitches, the overall impression is still very positive.
Been living in Japan for a year and a half now but I have difficulty picking up the language since I have no background. I read about rocket by googling best online Japanese courses and I did the trial and was disappointed when I couldn't do anymore so I decided to purchase it. I have been on it for a few days now and I must say I like it. I have not had it enough time to give a raving review but I really like the layout and the explanations that come with the course. I will definitely return and give another rating after using the course for a while and trying to practice with the natives. So Far so good.
Rocket languages supply "Translation method" for learning 2nd Languages . It's the same as in the school. There worse has no photos to understand by view , no stroke order .
Too many lessons for beginners .

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Bubill - Did you see the Writing lessons? There are videos in each of those showing you how to draw different characters, with the correct stroke order!
Rocket Japanese is super easy to use, and I would say that I learned better with Rocket Japanese than I ever did with Rosetta Stone. It is super easy to follow the instructions, and the leaderboard they have really appeals to my competitive side.
(Japanese, Level 1 review) Methodically located somewhere between Pimsleur, YesJapan/Japanese From Zero and Japanesepod101, Rocket Japanese provides a strong, content-rich guided learning experience that can serve as a backbone to any serious self-learning effort. Of all the programs I have tried (including Rosetta Stone, Textfugu, WaniKani, Living Language, the Genki textbooks and those mentioned above), this is certainly the most comprehensive and challenging from the start.
Conversation exercises, which are at the core of the program, are very well executed and the speech recognition system ensures that there is a degree of accountability here. For auditive learners such as myself, these work just as well if not better than Pimsleur, which is an old but effective way to memorize phrases and gain some initial conversational skills.
The main weakness of Rocket Japanese comes in the lack of a spaced repetition system. I STRONGLY advise learners to use an external flashcard software (such as Anki) or analogue flashcards for their vocab learning. Since actually creating flashcards is in itself good practice, however, I wouldn't deduct any points for this given the overall strong showing on display.
I've tried rosetta stone, duolingo, memrise, etc, and none have even come close to the comprehensive experience rocket languages has provided me with. It blows my mind that I leave the audio lessons with a sense of confidence that I accurately remembered everyword that Kenny and Sayaka had us repeat. Really well done.
Cheers!
