This is the first time I have tried to learn a language since high school 40 years ago. I am having so much fun, and it's easier than I thought it would be to learn a new language in my 50s. I look forward to 30 min with Rocket Japanese everyday and I feel that I would like to take Sayaka and Kenny out to a sushi restaurant to celebrate the joy that this course is giving me. Sugoi !!

In around a week, I have almost caught up to what I learned in 2 years of my school's curriculum. The up-front price that they ask for may seem intimidating for most people at first but I can assure you that it is worth every dollar. You may as well be saving money by investing in Rocket Languages as it is a one-time purchase as opposed to its' competitors. I've only barely scratched the surface of this learning tool, but if it's as good as I think it is then I have nothing to worry about.

Nonetheless, it's not perfect (for most people) and it shouldn't be your only resource if you're learning Japanese but if it is then I guess it's good if you are an absolute beginner and want to focus solely on grammar/speaking. (I have not touched the kanji yet so I can't say too much about that)

Overall, this is definitely worth checking out if you are serious about learning a language.

I love Rocket Language. I have been searching for ways to learn Japanese for like literally forever! And when I came across Rocket Language, I could already write a paragraph in Hiragana, and read it! Rocket Language was like the best thing that could ever happen in my life.

It is extremely difficult to find a good course for learning Japanese, or any non-european language in general online. Language courses are too often grammar rulebooks where you simply memorize the words. Rocket Languages, or at least the Japanese course is not at all like this. It provides a natural and intuitive learning structure that encourages you to listen and speak the language from an early stage. It is very well paced, so you come away from each lesson with a moderate understanding which you then build on throughout the course. I think this is a far better method than forcing you to know everything perfectly before moving on to the next part. When you do learn grammar, you have already used it in realistic sentences and heard it in conversations, so you have a feel of how it works. This also makes the learning process more enjoyable. Now the negatives. The 'Rocket Reinforcement activities' are great, but I find they are a bit repetitive after a while, I do wish there was more variety in the exercises. They do suggest good practices, such as using the language in books, video games, ect. but don't actually give any resources to do so yourself, something I have found other courses do much better.

Rocket japan is great, I haven't finished yet but I can already talk to my Japanese classmates. I had purchased it during a sale and got all 3 levels for 150 which for me made it a good deal but after using it I definitely would have bought it at full price. definitely recommend this if you're on the fence between two different programs rocket japan is just so polished, not to mention they have an app that works amazingly well. 10 out of 10 I recommend.

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!
