Thank you, Sreeya, for taking the time to write a review. We are thrilled to hear about your progress with Japanese. Keep up the great work!
I'm extremely satisfied with Rocket, I have been studying Japanese for about a month and already know more than 100 words and have gotten some clue about the grammar. I mostly know 'survival phrases' at this point but could probably get by in a simple Japanese conversation. It has really been the fastest progress I've ever made with learning a language.
It is good at making you learn through repetition, by reading, writing, and listening, but not nearly as agonizingly repetitive as something like Duolingo.
It is good at encouraging you to keep going by showing your streak and having reminders that tenacity is key and you're making good progress.
I think the fact that it is a one-time payment rather than a subscription makes it worth it.
I appreciate how in-depth the lessons are and how they walk you through each and every word and their nuance. I also appreciate the culture lessons.
One complaint I have is that the vocabulary lists in audio lessons are often incomplete, or only include a word within a sentence and don't provide a definition for the word itself.
Also, words and phrases from previous lessons are often brought up again in later lessons very rarely.

the kanji test in the first lesson is a little too advance
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Tony, we don't expect beginners to Japanese to know kanji right away, but we still feel it's important to include these tests so that our users can go back at a later date once they have learned some of the kanji. As such, these tests do not count towards completion, and you can simply skip them if you have not yet learned the kanji. All the best!
Love the ease of use and how fun it is to learn. The lessons are easy and make me want to come back.

Overall, as someone who struggles to organise myself this course is perfect for me as the modules are very well structured and cover most aspects - listening, vocabulary, writing, grammar. I didn't purchase the course full price as there were discounts, making it even more worth it for the price especially as it is a lifetime subscription!
The classes are easy to follow and progressive, repetitions of vocabulary or grammar are very well incorporated in lessions so it's not annoying and it helps memorize better the information. The flashcards and other tools are also very helpful to complete the learning.
There are a few things I think can be improved though, like the application as it doesn't have some features that the browser version has (especially the saved vocabulary flash cards, which I personnally think are more useful on the go to revise). In the audio lessons, the dialogue transcript is in romanji which I think is good to start but it would be nice to have an option to change it to hiragana/kanji to get more used to it, or to slowly progressively get rid of the romanji as the lessons go on.
