Rocket Japanese Reviews

I have recently finished all the RJP lessons and I would like to leave some feedback about this wonderful site !

This website has managed to create an excellent environment for language learners and has adopted an interesting learning method through which one can practice all the essential skills for learning a new language: reading, listening, writing and speaking, not to mention all the wonderful lessons about the culture and traditions of the respective language. Everything was made easy to understand and comprehend, thus making the language learning process quite enjoyable .

For me, Rocket Japanese was a powerful tool for taking up the Japanese language and has given me the courage and power to keep it up. The forum has many knowledgeable and charismatic members which have helped me very much throughout the language learning process.

If it weren't for Rocket Languages, I wouldn't have managed to pass JLPT N3 exam just through self-learning as there are no Japanese language teachers in the vicinity where I live.

As always, the website seems to be growing larger and larger, new features being introduced every year. I would like to thank Rocket Languages for everything that it has offered us and also to thank Sayaka-sensei here at Rocket Japanese for making us understand how fun it can be to learn this delightful language.

I am more than happy to recommend this web application to anyone who wants to start learning a new language !

I started recently, so far so good. Very complete, very entertaining. The explanations and examples are so easy to follow. Love to use it on my computer, on my ipod. Have the capacity to download the audio and listen to it while driving and practicing is so convenient. Even going to sleep listening to it.

Having completed the Level 1 Japanese course I feel confident saying that is a great value for the price. This is a solid course that does a good job of teaching basic grammar, vocabulary, and the hiragana and katakana writing systems. A decent amount of practice material is provided as well. My only major complaint is that the voice recognition software used to grade pronunciation is not reliable, which can be frustrating as it is used for graded assignments. However the course is constantly being improved and I believe it's only a matter of time before that final wrinkle gets ironed out. Even if it doesn't, this is still a great place to start learning the Japanese language.

I had a great time learning Japanese and I've only been using it for 2 hours! It's easy to learn, and there is no stress of fast paced learning, just steady learning. I love it and I will probably suggest it to a friend.

Prior to starting Rocket Japanese, I studied the Japanese language for 9 years. I learned how to read at a very high level, but unfortunately was never in a situation where I got to practice speaking and listening. Everything I took in college was textbook based and there was little to no actual conversations. In each chapter there would be a very short dialogue and then that was it, off to reading for the rest of the lesson. Where Rocket excels is that it focuses on audio and allows you to say the vocabulary. This is helping me with my listening skills. Now instead of reading the Japanese subtitles in variety shows, I can also understand more of the spoken language. This approach to learning has helped immensely. I only have a few minor gripes with the program: When writing the Kanji for the Kanji writing section, I'll write it perfect, yet the program marks it as bad and then won't even explain why. It does this at least 2 times every lesson. The repeating section can be near impossible at times. When it gets to the last three, they're expecting you to repeat back a sentence with 10 words in it. I honestly don't have the memorization skills to do that. It doesn't need to be that difficult.

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.

I definitely loved it even I just try it for a while. However, the price is so HIGH and EXPENSIVE for a student like me.

I want to go to Japan as a study abroad option in college, so I thought I should get a head start on the grammar and vocabulary before starting at University. The grammar and culture lessons are very understandable and all my prior knowledge about Japanese Culture aligns with what Rocket Japanese has to say. It is one of the more expensive platforms out there, but if you are serious about learning Japanese, know that this website has put time into their course to make sure you learn to whatever level you want and at any pace you want.

This site is amazing. I'm glad I learned more languages.

I have only tried it for a couple of days but I'm already really happy. It is fun, easy, interactive.
