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 .

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.

Been living in Japan for a year and a half now but I have difficulty picking up the language since I have no background. I read about rocket by googling best online Japanese courses and I did the trial and was disappointed when I couldn't do anymore so I decided to purchase it. I have been on it for a few days now and I must say I like it. I have not had it enough time to give a raving review but I really like the layout and the explanations that come with the course. I will definitely return and give another rating after using the course for a while and trying to practice with the natives. So Far so good.

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.

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!

The Rocket Japanese course is simple to use at the earlier levels, but with increasing level of detail and complexity needed for such a complex language.

Audios are clear and enjoyable. Unfortunately the mobile apps don't always seem to work as well as the web based programme - particularly for recording - otherwise I would rate higher.

I am still in the first lesson, but so far I am very pleased with the Rocket Japanese program. I really like that, from the very first lesson, you are learning complete sentences that you can use in a conversation versus just vocabulary words.

Fantastic software, easier to use and relatively cheap compared to other online courses out there. Constantly being updated with plenty of new helpful and cool new tools. One addition I would like to see is the option to download to a computer/laptop so it can be used offline, would be great for flights and waiting in the airport where you only get 30 minutes of wifi!

It won't let me put more than five stars but I'd rate Rocket Japanese 10/10 for everything.

I really like that the program puts a strong emphasis on writing from the very beginning. That really helps me wrap my head around pronunciation and word order. Having both a native Japanese speaker and a native English speaker speaking in the audio lessons helps to overcome the anxiety that comes with trying to learn a new language.

started using Rocket Spanish about 6 monthsago, when I spoke almost no Spanish. I first visited Japan in 2014, with maybe 10 words. Thanks to Rocket Japnese, I was able to move to Japan and I can now speak with people every day...
