Rocket Japanese is definitely worth the money: for the price of one year of weekly language course, you actually get more to learn and practice. I really enjoy the audio courses which are delightful. And the interactive website is well designed as well, except the audio recognition system which still needs some improvement. I really would like to see more interesting learning materials in future, and maybe some recommendations on videos, articles and cultural items that I can go look at.

It's a really good site and as high as the prices are in comparison to other sites out there, it's definitely worth the money and it isn't a monthly payment like most other sites. It's also a really fun course to work your way through which helps. Their deals, especially the Black Friday deals exceeded my expectations and cut down the prices by a LOT which I commend the site for. I would highly recommend you give their course a try even if it's only for the free trial.

I just signed up and started learning Japanese about a week ago and really love the tutorials. Listening to the pronunciations and then recording and grading how you speak it is brilliant. Wasn't sure I'd be able to learn Japanese, but since I started this it has really made things easier. Immerse yourself as much as you can. It works!!

Compared with the course I was using previously, Rocket Japanese is first rate. The other one gave no grammar info, only said right or wrong (you had to figure out how to correct something that contained an error) and got worse the more advanced you got. I have been using RJ only a few days, but feel that I am progressing much faster. No complaints so far.

Rocket Japanese: it's been two (April 14.) months since the Rocket Language app for iOS has been updated and since I am not able to use it anymore as it is not possible to write in hiragana/katakana anymore. I contacted support, got (after days - and weeks) assurance that it will be taken care of - yet the "bug" update 2 weeks ago did not address any of my clearly communicated (screenshots and screenvideo) problems. If you work on iOS (iPhoneX & iPad Pro, latest firmware) do not download this app - it is NOT working as advertised.
A word to the support... promising an update and therefore a working app might "quiet" the user but it is contraproductive to take no action at all.
I'll be happy to re-review my feedback once I am able to use the app again. Until then... 1 star.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Susie - We were having an issue with the length of time that it takes for an app to get approved by Apple (up to a week), which meant that any bugs took a while to get sorted. Apple have been working to reduce this time, especially for minor bug fixes.

Rocket languages certainly gives such in depth lessons into Japanese, and really helps it stick into your brain like no other program can do. The interactive audio lessons help you learn pronunciation and some of the cultural aspects of the language as well.

I have had the opportunity to try the lessons for about a week and I am very pleased. I'm older, so, it may take me a little longer to be able to memorize, but, I am able to track/understand and follow the program. I believe that it is a very good value for the money. I look forward to writing another review in about 6 months with progress results. Thank you!

This course has helped me so much! It's so easy to understand and I look forward to learning more!!! Although I had a slow start it was easy to get back on my feet. The interactive and detailed course helped to motivate me. The audio lessons are convenient and fun! I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn a new language and will continue to be a customer for years to come.
