This is a great program that uses a mix of audio, text, and quizzes to help you learn a language. I'm trying to learn Japanese and I was very relieved when I saw the program has all the writing methods of Japan (Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, and Romaji). I am also glad that they incorporated a way for me to record myself speaking the language. This way I can compare myself to that of the native speaker. I am currently using the Rocket Languages iOS app for my iPhone and it works perfectly (except for some audio files that won't play 100% of the time).

I would recommend this to my friends and family. Actually, I've already recommend this program to my husband, who wants to learn Spanish.

I encourage anyone, who is motived to learn a new language, to use Rocket Languages.

I've been using Rocket Japanese for a couple of years, and I honestly never thought I'd be able to speak as much Japanese as I can now- let alone any!

Each lesson is fun and the cast of different instructors across the courses make it enjoyable to learn the language, which is a great help especially if you have a busy lifestyle. It's great how the interactive audio courses put what you're learning into context, and then the language & culture lessons go into more detail on what you've learnt from those lessons, as it means you're revisiting what you've learnt before to keep it in your memory.

The culture lessons are a big bonus with Rocket Languages, because it means you're learning about the culture and the way of life in the country that you're learning the language of, which helps to understand some of the countries customs, which in Japan's case can be quite 'different' sometimes!

I can't recommend Rocket Japanese enough; it really has changed my life for the better and opened up new paths for me to take in the future. Thank you Rocket Languages!

I love this app! I chose this over duolingo, and here is why:

1).Duo always pressures you to do your lessons and even takes away your streak if you miss a day which is completely unfair. But with Rocket languages, you can miss a few days and it won't send you continuous messages to do it, as duolingo does. It will sometimes reset your streak, but it doesn't pop up in your face

2). Rocket languages doesn't only have text-to-speech lessons, but you can actually repeat what it says, and the AI will check your accuracy. Duolingo can't do that.

3). Instead of waiting to complete the overall course for each stage of talking the language you want to speak, you can choose if you are ready to start a new course or not WITHOUT having to complete a test.

That concludes my opinion of why I think rocket languages is more relieving than Duolingo. You can get the full learning experience and not have to worry about being pressured!

As you are told in the lessons, there is no shame in making mistakes! Then there is always the chance to listen again, or trying writing the answer again...!
Even typing the Hiragana script on-screen is fun!

I had actually done the Rocket Spanish and I was a bit disappointed with Rocket Japanese. I do not feel that there are enough lessons to get an understanding of the material. I also do not feel that verbs were covered enough.

Like many other members Rocket Languages is helping me achieve my dream of being a fluent speaker of a new language. I've always had a fascination with Japan, its culture and its language and it is a truly fulfilling experience to see how quickly I can advance - I can read, write and say so much!

I have been using Rocket Japanese for two years and found the site to be easy and exciting to use. It's so important to me to be able to hear a native speaker of the language because if I'm going to speak in it, I'm going to sound right; no half measures with me!

What I truly enjoy and appreciate is the culture lessons. Japan is so intact with its history and traditions it is truly fascinating - and very, very different to Europe. It is important to be able to feel like you have got to know the country a little bit and not feel like you are at risk of inadvertently causing offence. This is especially if you are aspiring to live (or even visit) there one day, as is the case with myself.

The lessons provide quite complex sentence structures straight away which I couldn't truly appreciate until I had had some classroom lessons which built a solid foundation for grammar and syntax.

A really fun way to learn the language and gain an understanding of the culture at the same time! Love it that I can learn at my own pace (with closely monitored learning progress) and see myself picking up speaking, listening and writing skills concurrently. The program is very user-friendly, and I find the recording function particularly useful in helping me converse like a native speaker.
