I have found this program very accessible, easy to use and helpful. The learning curve is well paced and the learning resources that are provided to you are plentiful. The audio lessons are also quite entertaining considering that they are a learning tool.

Great so far. It treats you more like an adult than Rosetta Stone. I never liked the one-sided approach in Rosetta Stone that I had to guess at what they were trying to teach you from 4 pictures rather than just telling you some basic concepts as well as some of the culture. It looks like I will get that with Rocket Languages but didn't with Rosetta Stone. So, Rocket Languages treats you like an adult. Reasonably priced.

Rocket Japanese language is very awesome. It cheers me up every day. I use simple Japanese words that I learned from Rocket Japanese. Its very useful for me. My client was impressed how I can speak a little bit Japanese.

I really like this approach.
I am taking Japanese lessons weekly and find that remembering commonly used phrases helps me in class.
Had some trouble with password reset yesterday on my iPhone, so reset it on my desk top.
Will see if it works

I am a bilingual person (translator from English into French) trying to learn Japanese. I've been trying several methods books, on-line, etc., over several years. Even though this method is far more interesting and educational than Rosetta, I feel that it is lacking of grammatical points or explanations, so to be a complete learner, you need to complement it by another mean (books or apps). After saying that, I will still recommend this on-line method, since I believe it is one of the best today.
Improvements:
The testing system: it would be more educational to be testing more than 5 (Japanese 2) or 10 questions (Japanese 2), while the listen and writing, test you on over 30 questions.
Even though the voice recognition improve dramatically over the years, it is still sometimes difficult to use it, especially with long sentence in the Play role section. The system stops before I say half of the sentences. It works fine most of the time with single word.
The first audio is too long and have a lot of unnecessary moments. For example, why practicing to say a word or sentence when it is listed in the vocabulary section in which you can learn how to say it as well? Also, to be honest, Kenny's voice is a little annoying after a while.

I'm learning much more than I thought was possible online and having a good deal of fun Rocket Languages really gave me the tools to succeed with my new language .I love the way the process tests you not only on your memory but also on your enunciation of the language. Many times my intonation is not what it should be and the system catches it. Thank you Rocket Language

After holding it off for many years, I felt inspired to once again try learning Japanese. I heard about Rocket Japanese and decided to try it out. The course is engaging, fun, and well paced, and provides the kind of structure I wish I had when I was first learning. There are several different exercises which help to reinforce the material learned in each lesson, and you can review any past lesson and its accompanying exercises at your leisure. I would highly recommend this product.

This website is quite the learning site! It has very good other reviews, others including what I will say further on. But all of the experience I had over the first couple of days is shown here. I will probably not use this website for long periods of time because of the money included, but it is a good experience if you are new to the language, and had surprising features, such as the kanji and romaji, and previously I had gone on other websites which lacked those features.
I really am enjoying this website and it's features, which also include many known phrases and accurate translations, unlike other websites.
This website is easy to use, and you can include vocabulary in the my vocab section. I really enjoy using this, because it is an easy way to study japanese and any other language.
Although I do not want to use money, I will use this trial for as long as possible, cost-free.
Overall I would give this website 4/5 stars, the 1 star missing would be full free japanese training, although I'm certain after research that it might not exist.
But, even after that, the quality of this website is high, and the website is very intimidating to other ones. Rocket Languages is a very good starting website to learn languages on, and others should give it a try!
