Rocket Japanese Reviews

This is so helpful when wanting to learn a new language

The site is very nice and easy to use the Japanese language. Thank you very much

It's really easy to learn in here, it explains well what it means. I love learning in here! Thank you so much!

I appreciate the lessons; I have also hired a tutor to assist me with the Japanese language. I would like to take a trip to Japan someday!!

It is extremely difficult to find a good course for learning Japanese, or any non-european language in general online. Language courses are too often grammar rulebooks where you simply memorize the words. Rocket Languages, or at least the Japanese course is not at all like this. It provides a natural and intuitive learning structure that encourages you to listen and speak the language from an early stage. It is very well paced, so you come away from each lesson with a moderate understanding which you then build on throughout the course. I think this is a far better method than forcing you to know everything perfectly before moving on to the next part. When you do learn grammar, you have already used it in realistic sentences and heard it in conversations, so you have a feel of how it works. This also makes the learning process more enjoyable. Now the negatives. The 'Rocket Reinforcement activities' are great, but I find they are a bit repetitive after a while, I do wish there was more variety in the exercises. They do suggest good practices, such as using the language in books, video games, ect. but don't actually give any resources to do so yourself, something I have found other courses do much better.

I love this site because i get to learn a new language.

I purchased Rocket Japanese a few years ago and put it on the back burner. I've recently gotten my interest back up and have been practicing more. Not being an expert on language courses, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. The frustration I have is self inflicted as I have difficulty with sentence structure and conjugating verbs. That is no fault of the program, however. I just have to let go of established norms to understand better what I am trying to learn.

I love how they don't just tell you what the words mean but show them in conversation and tell you how to pronounce them!

Being able to engage in any kind of dialogue while learning a language is crucial to establishing a sense of comfort with using the words in context and conversation for the future. Pronunciation being checked for accuracy through my mic is a big deal when wanting to use a language outside of casual engagements and I love that Rocket provides a service to hear my attempts at words and catch whether I'm saying things correctly or using the correct words at all. Flashcards are my favorite study tool and having options to customize what info appears on them is a nice benefit. The price is a little steep without a promo code, which is a bit prohibitive for some of my peers, and though understandable, it would be nice to see rarer languages featured like Hawaiian, Navajo, or Gaelic. Great product overall though and I can already tell I'm learning better with it than I did with the 'owl app'.

I really like that it incorporates speaking into a microphone.
