Rocket Japanese Reviews

The voice recognition feature is so useless for "Kenny's" in the Japanese lesson. Some of the so easy phrases but couldnt be picked up by the software while it could be for tough, long sentences by Sayaka?

I would say Rocket Japanese has been the best self study aid for teaching myself Japanese . I have tried other Japanese learning aids like Books , audio files and other software , I can say for that Rocket Languages has a clear advantage , Its clean and simple layout with easy to follow instructions has been making it effective and comprehensive and user friendly .
I would highly recommend this product to others .

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!

I have tried a number of different courses and approaches in my quest to learn Japanese. Books (Genki course), online resources (such as Busuu and Duolingo), purely listening based (Pimsleur) and software (Rosetta Stone). Together with the Genki course books, Rocket Japanese is by far the most comprehensive of them all. One gets to train different modes, like listening, speaking, writing and so on. The voice recognition seems to have some minor glitches, the overall impression is still very positive.

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.

Great program. Excellent teaching methods. Practical writing exercises. Great audio review to practice.with Rocket I do not need to go to a language classes. I have been learning Japanese for 10 years . Old methods were tedious and expensive. I have achieved a lot with Rocket .

Thank you so much for this site.
I'm enjoy learning Japanese.
It's only been a month since I casually use this site. The only problem Andriod App. needs a UI fix.
But I would rate this website a 5 star!! Arigatou gozaimashita.

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.

A good product to get started with the basic conversation.
Every sentence is broken into pieces and every word is explained in great detail.
As long as someone wants to start conversing then its good but if the emphasis is on taking exams such as JLPT then it may not be very useful as its purpose is different.

This is a very good site. Other sites do not present the language in an organized fashion like this site does. I am very impressed. It is the best that I have seen so far. The way the language is presented is very effective.
