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'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.

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 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've just completed a weeks trial and already I am speaking some Japanese! The language feels really approachable and familiar to me now after this week of introduction. I have no doubt that given my commitment, motivation and drive, together with the Rocket Languages program, I absolutely WILL be having a conversation with my Japanese friends in 8 months.
I'm really glad that I found this site. The lesson are very easy to understand and Sayaka-san's voice is really beautiful. As a Romanian native speaker is not really simple to learn such a hard language like Japanese,but the Rocket Japanese team makes everything simple.
I'll recommend this site to all my "otaku" friends and Japan-lovers :]
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.
So far so good. This is my first language learning experience and I'm very new to it. I like the way the practice sections are set up and the repetition. I believe it's been worth the investment given my limited experience with it so far.
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 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 love it...Rocket was the only one that combined pronunciation, conversation, reading, writing, and grammar into one solution. So far, I love the way the lessons work...
