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.
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 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.
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 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 !
Nice to meet you and I would like to say thank you very much that I can learn Japanese language through this site. I think it's suit for me as a beginner for learning a japanese language. COmpletely and easy to follow all instructions.
it's awesome and does really help anyone who likes to learn about japanese culture!!!
I have a lot of fun learning a new language on this website because of the little achievements that you can get. Usually I never liked learning another language, like in High School, because it was so boring, but somehow it is more fun and enjoyable on this website. Also, the interface is really easy to navigate, making the experience even better.
I like to listen to the audio lessons on my back to and from work a couple of times each. I find it really sticks only if I listen more than once. I like all the different kinds of tests available, and the language recognition software. This is much more challenging than a class you take in college, I think because of the language recognition. You can get by with terrible pronunciation in class but not with Rocket Record on even Medium mode. The only thing I found lacking was in learning hiragana, which I think can best be taught with mnemonics. I use two free apps for that and I learned hiragana very quickly with just the mnemonic flash cards and games in the apps. I also wish the website worked better in Firefox, my preferred browser. Otherwise, I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others.
This is the best one so far. I have been checking for an app or online tutor to help me in learning new languages but none could satisfy me. Only this rocket language learner attracted me. And I am so happy with it. I have been enjoying this online tutor for months now and would keep looking forward to learn more. I love spending my free time with this tuition and courses. Anyone who is interested in learning other languages must take this online course because this is the best one so far. It is for free...you don't need to be worried about spending extra cash like any other course. This will make you "worry not" and enjoy learning absolutely free. You get all the grammatical helps + Audio help + you can even record your own voice. Amazing, isn't it? You can also save your own vocabulary and voice. I am like " Wow this is it" . You can even improve yourself better by competing on your own score point goals. I love adding up more points. I am looking forward to get as much benefits for myself and complement other friends as I have been doing it. Rocket language deserves to get the best learners. The offers and the rewards are awesome!
