Rocket Japanese Reviews

Japan always has fascinated me & when I visited it, I was spell bound. The people, the culture, their politeness, i.e. in one word 'Everything'. The Empire of the Rising Sun, states exactly how Japan is. I never thought in my life, that one day I might get the opportunity, to learn Japanese. Thanks to my business, I got Japanese clients & to honor them, I wanted to learn Japanese. Domo arigtou guzaimasu "Rocket Japanese", that means to you Kenny San & Sayako San. The hard work you have gone through, has blessed my business in so many ways & shall these blessings be with you two as well. My life has changed entirely because of your honest dedication, which gave me a lot of hope & strength. I will further purchase & tell anyone who wants to learn Japanese about "Rocket Japanese" to buy it, because it is more than worth it. Aishi the i masu. Sharmila Ray!!!

I really liked rocket languages when i first started using it for japanese. They replaced one of the voice actors (kenny) with what im assuming is a native speaker (who also goes by kenny) who sounds like he has a frog in his throat. they also added the worlds most monotone woman to narrarate the course. These changes have made listening to the interactive courses almost unbearable and i really hope they change the voice actors back.

My feelings with this course are quite mixed. On one hand, there is a lot of material and you pick up useful phrases from the very start. On the other hand there are several issues which in the long run are quite frustrating especially in the testing part

1) Apart from the Quiz section, everything else is clearly automatically generated from the material. This means you can have the same word repeated 2 or 3 times. In the "Know it" part there are cases where you cannot know what to say because two words have the same english translation (tourist).
2) Speech recognition is frustrating. It stops listening while you are talking, sometimes it doesn't want to recognize what you say no matter what (I even tried playing back the native audio from my phone near to the computer microphone, and it didn't even recognize the native speaker!) and sometimes it says 100% even if you mess up a few syllables.

The free trial was very good. Elected to purchase 1st set based on the free trial. Had some issues with unlocking the purchased due to my error. This was pointed out by a very helpful customer service person, however, it did take sometime for a response. Got very frustrated waiting for a response after several emails, / customer help calls.

Once unlocked my account works really well. The lessons are on point and user friendly. Strongly recommend.

i like the rocket japenese learning system because i have learned so much and i want to go to japan when i grow up and there is a great video game company that i want to work for and i want to be a missionare.

I really like this product. I've tried several others over the years and this is the best. I'm especially impressed with how every year the site is improved with updates that actually improve the product. I love how much the writing section has improved, much easier to learn Hiragana and Katakana as well as to learn how to speak the language (with feedback, you are rated plus you can listen to what you actually sound like).
I own Rocket French and Rocket Japanese, all three levels for both languages and am very happy with the results. If you work steady, you will get excellent results.

I purchased the entire Rocket Japanese set (beginners, intermediate, advanced) for an amazing deal offered on Thanksgiving. I really, really like the way it's organized and the flow of the lessons from one to another. For the first week, I made the mistake of not learning the characters in tandem with learning the spoken word - you really have to learn them both together. People on the forum (which is very friendly with very helpful posts/responses) talked me into studying the characters at the same time. I thought it would be overwhelming, but it wasn't at all!! In fact, within 3 weeks, I will have learned all the characters - much less intimidating than I thought. I feel very confident that when I visit Japan towards the end of the year, I'll have a great grasp of the language, both spoken and written.

The only negative is the support. It takes days for anyone to get back to you. The first time I submitted a question, I think it took 5 days for a response. Luckily, my question are associated with profile questions, not support for the product, otherwise I'd find that very irritating.

When I first started University back in 2017 I decided to take on the Japanese language and looked at so many resources. Rocket languages came up back then but I passed on it because of the price (poor student life). I tried many other resources but none of them really teach the language more than show you some phrases and make you memorise stuff.

I decided to try learn the language again and after finishing all the free lessons I figured I should make use of the discount and took the dive to purchase the course. I have only been learning for 4 days so far but in that time I have learnt more that I did in 2 weeks back when I first tried.

Everything is covered from written language, spoken language, grammar, you name it!

Highly recommend Rocket Japanese to anyone looking to give it a try. I'm sure the other languages are great too!

I am so happy with this product! I've learned so much over the course of several months. It is well worth the price, especially if you can get it on sale. Customer service deserves much love as well! Both times I've contacted them and they were able to fulfill my requests no questions asked. Thank you, Rocket Language!

This program is helping me learn Japanese, along with living in japan right now it is very helpful. It's also a fun language to learn and the lessons will help you along if you mess up on some words or phrases.
