Rocket Japanese Reviews

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

It's so easy to learn Japanese and they cover everything you would see and do. I am very happy with my experience, and I will probably buy the Level 1, 2 and 3 pack as I am on the trial at the moment, and I have learnt so much in a day. I am 50-50 with the price, as it is a lot but so far the quality for learning is great. I would recommend it to everyone on the planet who wants to learn Japanese, it is so easy to use. 100%. I haven't used the customer service just yet, but I have looked at the FaQ sort of thingy and it is very useful, so 5 stars. They go through everything you need to know if you were to go to Japan, so your trip there is going to be easy peasy.

With a language like Japanese, there are a lot of little things that aren't obvious but the lessons progressively show you how each little thing works. I really feel like by the end of Level 1, I will be ready for my trip to Japan.

And hopefully once I finish level 2, I will be able to understand shows in other languages!

The teaching medium is very interactive. Commendable!!

I am happy with my Japanese lessons so far and excited to see how far I go and at what speed. I am really enjoying the lessons
