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.

Thank you for the review, Li-ping! It's great to hear that you've already acquired some Japanese language skills. I suggest navigating to Rocket Japanese Level 2 via the panel on the left side of your dashboard. There, you'll find a few lessons available in the free trial that might be more suitable for your ability level. All the best!
I like this I enjoy learning different languages and this makes it easier thanks so much for rocket languages!

That's what we're all about, Nova. Keep up the excellent work; we can't wait to see where learning Japanese will take you!
I found Rocket Language through my library resources and thought, "Why not?" I am not disappointed. So far, I've only done three modules but I am learning Japanese in more ways that I never could before! Even with my years of taking French academically, it never stuck like learning Japanese through Rocket Language does. It's interactive, you get to have conversations and you get to learn some stuff about Japanese culture! I'm having so much fun with this I can't wait to practice in Japan. I'm looking forward to completing all of it and kickstarting my journey to Japan. Thanks, Rocket Language!

I hate the points and streaks function and you have provide no ability to switch off!
I am preferring the Pimsleur system far more.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi G - Ha! That's because no-one has asked for it to be switched off before. We can add it to a list of suggestions to look at in the future.
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.
It's boring. There is no picture to help me connect with the phrase or words. They throw a sentence at you and have you repeat it, hoping you remember. It's no different from when you just Google Translate phrases and remember them yourself. Maybe throw an interactive game or something. I wanted a refund, but there's no refund button either. I guess I'll just take this as my loss.
Response from Rocket Languages
Sorry to hear that, Chalampol. Please know we take our 60-day refund promise very seriously, and our support team has reached out to you to initiate the refund process. Wishing you all the best with your language learning!
I like how you make us say the words and correct them It is a great time learning with you! Arigato gozaimasu for the lessons and the courage for me to speak up! This is and sugoi website! I hope people will notice you I will tell all my fiends to use it
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 very new beginner and step by step learning method is the best way for me. And it's great being able to learn on my own speed and details information and pronounce for each word. I am happy and satisfied to learn new Language of Japanese.
