I was pleasantly surprised by Rocket Japanese, I had tried other language learning websites before. But, none of them gave me the feeling of control that Rocket Japanese gives. With this website I can choose what I want to learn: when, for how long, and how much I want to cover. I think anyone serious about Rocket Japanese should at least give it a try.

This is a great product at a great price. I am impressed with the layout of the dashboard and the voice recognition. It has exceeded all my expectations.

I like the unlimited access online and I can practice anywhere, anytime.

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.

At first I thought that Rocket Japanese was a great course. However, I became very disappointed with the way they structure things. The conversations are very limited and the grammar is poorly explained. Japanese is a very structured and logical language and Rocket Japanese does a poor job of conveying the structure. I am overall very disappointed with the course.

I bought the entire Japanese course, yet Rocket continues to send me marketing and promotional emails telling me to buy their japanese course when I already have.

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback and thoughts however, we know that many of our learners are just starting out with Japanese or learning a second language for the first time. That’s why we focus on keeping our courses accessible by starting with simple conversations and grammatical explanations and gradually moving on to more advanced topics.

As someone who's been using Rocket Japanese for years and generally liking it, I'm writing this review to express my frustration. AGAIN you have redesigned the app in a way that seriously hurts the functionality! Why do you keep doing this? (Especially with no option to switch back?). Why did you decide to make the kanji suddenly very small, forcing me to zoom in on phone? Makes the kanji lessons a huge pain! Change it back! Im getting tired of you guys constantly screwing up your own app!

Response from Rocket Languages

Thank you for your feedback, Brion! We understand your concerns and that updates can interrupt your learning. However, please know that all our updates aim to improve the usability of the course and, therefore, your language learning experience. As was the case prior to the update, font and script sizes can be enlarged in your phone settings. If you have any further feedback, we'd love to hear it, so please reach out to [email protected]!

I'm very satisfied with my purchase of Rocket Japanese, especially with the voice recognition so that pronunciation can be practiced. The one glaring downside seems to be the ghost-town of a forum. Sometimes I'll post a question or feedback and not receive a reply for days, and so it's not as user friendly as the forums on Duolingo or WaniKani. Perhaps more staff/tutors could be hired to at least make sure every new thread gets a response? Overall I would still recommend Rocket Japanese, especially with the 60% discount codes (which make the price "just right" IMHO). Cheers!

Rocket languages is great. I am now studying Japanese with this course. The content is awesome and it is all relevant and practical material. It isnt random vocabulary that I would never use, for that reason i think it is great. It provides many exercises to drill your learning and commit the language to memory.

I love how the lessons are all grouped in their respective categories together, but if I could offer a recommendation, it would be to have a comprehensive learning path that bridges the categories together. Right now the lessons are in an order that starts with all the Audio Lessons, then into lessons that are reading based, then lessons that are cultural based. These are all grouped together. I feel having them combined in a way that would spread them out so that you dont have to be stuck without audio lessons or cultural explanations for things for a long period of time because you have to go through all the modules in that section. I hope this makes sense. Of course this may just be a preference of mine, but could be a great addition to the course. :)
