Rocket Japanese Reviews

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.

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.

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 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

Rocket Languages is so user friendly! Navigation is clear and recommendations for the next lesson are excellent. Being able to speak a new language as well as read/write in it is fantastic as well. I'm hooked!

Best Japanese language learning tool. Worth the price.

Love the ease of use and how fun it is to learn. The lessons are easy and make me want to come back.

For my very first lesson, I found it to be too easy since I have prior training in recognizing the Japanese alphabet and Kanji. However, for most people who have no knowledge of Hiragana and Kanji, it would be quite difficult. I understand that the lesson is conversation-focus but an introduction to the alphabets would be necessary for beginners.

I hate the points and streaks function and you have provide no ability to switch off!

I am preferring the Pimsleur system far more.

This has been so far the best option for me to learn. I think is easy and you can adapt to your own needs and timeline.
