Rocket Language is a great learning tool. I had put it down for a while but just picked it back up again and I am loving the changes. It is teaching me conversational Japanese and writing which is very important. I do it in conjunction with podcasts from japancast.net and it has been great.

I like the mix of writing speaking, etc. And I like that it is all online and I can do it at my own pace. I am hoping to be able to read and write well in a few months and I feel like I am making great strides to get there.

Thank you ROCKET LANGUAGE!!!

I'm not going to sugarcoat this, so don't look for it in any Rocket promotional material. :-)

Had a little bit of an issue when trying to buy this product. Wasn't Rocket's fault and they were very helpful in getting it resolved.

I am currently at lesson 2.4.

This is a good product for learning and practicing speech in Japanese. The exercises are very geared towards that, along with some writing.While it has been great for speech, I use a different product for grammar.

The interface is simple to figure out and use, so you don't have to waste a lot of time trying to figure out how to do courses. Japanese is hard enough as it is without trying to master a weird interface too.

This is really meant to help the student SPEAK the language, not necessarily stressing grammar too much, though it might in later lessons.

I've used a lot of tools for learning Japanese, but Rocket is the best at making you speak the language instead of just listening to lessons. That's why I purchased the whole product.

As for issues with the software, I had a few minor ones. At first, I would either have audio, or I could record my voice, but not both. To resolve this, I had to completely reinstall my browser.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thanks for pointing out the spacing issue when writing reviews. We will fix that asap! Also, it is possible to flag (from within the Tests) phrases like the example you give. We can then look into what is causing that

Hello all,
This is the best inspiration apps to learn all Japanese cultural and language by myself. Many thanks to Sayaka-san and Rocket JP team for the most useful tools on this web. I was premium member of this packages, that I can come back to practices and improve my language skill anytime I want. So, that's great to me every time I launch to Rocket Languages .

Thank you

I was previously on a Rosetta Stone subscription but found the way that the lessons were structured did not line up with real life scenarios. Straight from the beginning, Rocket Languages teaches you introductions and essential phrases.

I plan to live in Japan for a year and find that Rocket Languages gives me the confidence to keep going.

I decided to try Rocket Japanese because I wanted to learn some Japanese before a trip to Tokyo .I just returned, and the Japanese I learned with Rocket Japanese was not only extremely helpful, i want to learn more.

I currently live in Japan and have found this program extremely helpful. It has allowed me to communicate with the locals and for us to actually understand each other. I was actually told by some that I speak amazing Japanese.

I really appreciate your style of teaching, because it's based on quality and effectiveness to the customer. Which should be commended because you didn't sacrifice those qualities for a scientifically unproven way of teaching.

I highly recommend the Rocket Japanese course.
I'm a Brazilian living in London. So I'm learning a foreign language in English, which is not my native language in the first place. But I'm really enjoying, the content is very clear and easy to understand.
I've seen some other reviews complaining about the "new" Kenny, but I must say I prefer the new one. The fact that he is native helps a lot, even without the whole "enthusiasm" the former one had.
I started last year and had to stop for a while as I didn't have time to continue, but now I've started over and noticed the new narrator and new Kenny as well. I found a good surprise.

Rocket Japanese has to be one of the easiest ways to learn a language I have ever found, as I can pick up and pause lessons as my schedule demands as opposed to trying to work around traditional lesson styles which require me to set aside hours at a time to achieve any progress.

This is a great way to learn any language! All the lessons are organized, and it's easy to go to a section you need to practice, or easily pick up where you left off. They talk slow enough so you're able to follow what they're saying, but fast enough to keep you involved. I love Rocket Languages!
