For my very first lesson, I found it to be too easy since I have prior training in recognizing the Japanese alphabet and Kanji. However, for most people who have no knowledge of Hiragana and Kanji, it would be quite difficult. I understand that the lesson is conversation-focus but an introduction to the alphabets would be necessary for beginners.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thank you for the review, Li-ping! It's great to hear that you've already acquired some Japanese language skills. I suggest navigating to Rocket Japanese Level 2 via the panel on the left side of your dashboard. There, you'll find a few lessons available in the free trial that might be more suitable for your ability level. All the best!

I've been studying Japanese for seven years. That included a couple of on-line courses, and several of the major apps. I've concluded that the best combination of speaking, listening, writing and grammar comes from using a combination of Rocket Japanese and Japanese from Zero.

The pay-once-and own model is a welcome change from the subscription model so many apps use. My one regret with Rocket is their decision to remove the typing component. The "composing" aspect of clicking on blocks of characters is, for me, less useful than typing in my response on a Japanese keyboard.

Response from Rocket Languages

It’s great to hear that Rocket Japanese has become such a valuable part of your learning journey, especially alongside other resources, Doug. We're glad you appreciate the lifetime access model. We offer this because we know that learning a language takes time and consistent effort, and we want to make sure you have the freedom to learn at your own pace without the pressure of a subscription. Regarding the typing component, the Composing activity is still available. If you're having trouble accessing it, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected], and we’ll be happy to help. Wishing you continued success with your Japanese studies!
