the learning is good but the price is unnecessary.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for the feedback, Callahan! At Rocket, we believe that language learning is a lifetime journey. That's why we offer permanent access to our courses for a single purchase. However, we do understand that this means an upfront cost, and we want to make language learning as accessible as possible. If you would like to discuss different options we'd be more than happy to see what we can do to help you out. Just contact our friendly support team at [email protected]!
I have tried a few different apps and ways electronically to improve my Japanese. This is the most comprehensive. I am also happy to see that is transfers seamlessly between my desktop website and my mobile apps. The best so far. ありがとうございます

Thank you for your review, Ronald. It's great to hear that Rocket Japanese is helping you learn on all your devices. All the best with your Japanese journey!
Helps me remember what I learned especially with the lessons that have audio files so that I can learn how to say it
Response from Rocket Languages
It's great to hear that you are taking advantage of the Audio Lessons to practice your pronunciation. With more practice, you'll be speaking Japanese perfectly in no time!
the kanji test in the first lesson is a little too advance
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Tony, we don't expect beginners to Japanese to know kanji right away, but we still feel it's important to include these tests so that our users can go back at a later date once they have learned some of the kanji. As such, these tests do not count towards completion, and you can simply skip them if you have not yet learned the kanji. All the best!
I really enjoyed the structure of the lessoon. I hope it is more affordable
This is an amazing cource but on the shorter words you should speak a little louder it doesn't understand if you dont

Good to hear, Kimberly! Remember, we're always here to help. If you need any tips for getting the best results with the speech recognition, feel free to reach out at [email protected].
Out of all the Japanese courses I took, Rocket Japanese is the only one where I'm actually learning and retaining what I learn. I could not recommend it more.

Thanks, Derek! We're excited to hear that Rocket Japanese's comprehensive approach has truly enhanced your language learning. Keep up the great work!
Classroom Japanese brought online - with room for improvement.
It's a well structured language training with actual Japanese speaking and good explanations of vocabulary and the language in general. The spoken Japanese really helps with recognition and pronunciation, great to listen to Sayaka and Shota. Having Rocket languages is like having your own language course online.
It is also where I find Rocket languages to be missing opportunities as it focus on providing classroom experience instead of supporting exploring the language trough individual self study.
There are many limitations on what you are allowed to do, for instance when you start a practice you cannot reset it nor show all vocabulary, you are forced to complete it. It would be better if everything would be available all ways.
The text-to-speech is also limited (Google based?), short words are often not understood (adding a random です helps), and longer sentences pronounced wrong is often corrected (saying 今日はいい天気です。でも、明日は雨です。without the rain is magically corrected).
The biggest limitation is there is no system to help recalling. Vocabulary may be learned but then forgotten again. A Spaced Repetition System is missing although it is recognized as the best way to remember tings long term. All the kanji, kana, sounds and explanations are there, missing are pictures and the SRS itself.
At least there should be a simple way to export it all to e.g. Anki to make up for the limitation.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review, Peter. We’re delighted to hear that you’re enjoying the structured lessons, as well as the recordings with Sayaka and Shota. At the same time, we appreciate your thoughtful feedback on areas for improvement, such as the flexibility of the testing activities. While we do not offer a spaced repetition feature per se, I would recommend checking out the Favorites system; this should allow you to build your own custom activities for those words that you find particularly challenging. Of course, this does not allow you to randomly revisit course content; for that, I would recommend the Module Certification Tests, located in the Tools section. We’ll make sure your comments are shared with our development team. Thank you again for helping us grow and improve!
