Rocket Japanese makes it easy and simple to learn and lessons are laid out in a sensible order to reinforce learning through various tools and reviewing techniques.

In addition the audio tracks are lively with a somewhat cheesy humour which i thought made it more of a fun experience :)

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?

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.

Rocket Japanese is a comprehensive language course that teaches you how to speak and write Japanese. The conversational section at the end of the lesson puts you in a real conversation situation. There is a real good section on survival kit that will be very practical on my future travel to Japan. The moderators do a great job keeping it light and don't get you stressed out over the learning process. Excellent language learning tool!

I used to really enjoy these lessons (taking the Japanese course). The banter between tutors Sayaka and the original Kenny made lessons enjoyable and fun. Since I had returned from my trip to Japan I had taken a short break from practicing, but I recently jumped back on only to learn that the original audio lessons have been replaced with a super boring monotoned narrator. While the program did initially help me impress all of my Japanese friends, it no longer feels like I have lifelike tutors to encourage me to keep up my studies, just a robot with choppy cut and paste vocabulary being lectured at me. The enthusiasm of the lessons is gone and sadly so is mine with learning from this program.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Christopher - We are sorry that you feel that way. The decision was made to replace the non-native speaker (Kenny's) parts with a native speaker. The decision basically came down to answering "what provides the best and most authentic learning experience for the majority of learners?". While Kenny has been a big part of Rocket Japanese we just thought that his accent compromised the voice recognition functionality.

Very easy to learn with this program. I really like how it is broken down into sections and you can choose what you want to work on. From everyday greetings, taking a taxi or asking for directions Rocket Japanese is helpful if you are just learning the language or trying to brush up. It is also nice to review a section and then go out to use it. The iPhone app is also very helpful! I use it all the time. Quick and easy way to look up a phrase or review a section. I have Rocket French and Rocket Japanese and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn a new language.

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
