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!

I'm a beginner and I'm two months into it at the moment and am very satisfied overall with Rocket Japanese. I've purchased all three levels and the Play the Part product and I believe it's money well spent. The program is comprehensive in content and well-thought out and works well for me as the core of my Japanese language learning. I am supplementing the writing
lessons with other material that involves more paper and pen repetition to help hard-wire hiragana and katana in my brain, and I'll do the same with the kanji. I think Rocket is awesome as it is and realize that no one method can cover every possible base, but I will suggest that Rocket Japanese would be even more effective if it provided links to real world audio or video featuring native speakers, or written material suited to a particular learning level in the program. Otherwise, I'm only on the 3rd Module or Level 1, and have along way to go, but so far so good.

It's been a great way to review and practicing listening and speaking skills. It's a great starting point too. I live in Japan and have been picking up Japanese very slowly. Rocket Japanese does a good job balancing all elements of learning the language. It obviously isn't the best for learning kanji...BUT kanji isn't my goal right now. There are some great kanji apps out there to supplement that that too, such as kanji garden. This site is also very user friendly.

In around a week, I have almost caught up to what I learned in 2 years of my school's curriculum. The up-front price that they ask for may seem intimidating for most people at first but I can assure you that it is worth every dollar. You may as well be saving money by investing in Rocket Languages as it is a one-time purchase as opposed to its' competitors. I've only barely scratched the surface of this learning tool, but if it's as good as I think it is then I have nothing to worry about.

Nonetheless, it's not perfect (for most people) and it shouldn't be your only resource if you're learning Japanese but if it is then I guess it's good if you are an absolute beginner and want to focus solely on grammar/speaking. (I have not touched the kanji yet so I can't say too much about that)

Overall, this is definitely worth checking out if you are serious about learning a language.

The most I like about the Rocket Japanese is the early and frequent use of conversational lessons. I have only started the program a week ago, and so far it is has been an enjoyable experience.
I hope the platform can add links to shows to watch and songs to help learn and practice the language.

I came to Rocket Japanese as a refugee from Duolingo. It is so good to use such a well thought out and "grown up" programme. I am especially pleased to have so much listening and speaking practice. I guess it would be very challenging to start as an absolute beginner; I'm glad I already know hiragana, katakana and a few kanji.

I indicated I would be likely to buy again because I didn't want to give a negative response, but it's a one off subscription so I don't need to, Great!
I've been using Rocket Japanese for 38 days.

I have now completed over 100 days and have to say I am even more pleased with the course now. In addition to the excellent course materials if you do have a query you get a very prompt and helpful reply. Very encouraging.

265 day update: I'm now finding the course quite challenging, which is a good thing. The language has become more complex. I like the way vocabulary and grammar you have already learned keeps cropping up again to help reinforce what I have learned.
