Rocket Japanese Reviews

I have recently finished all the RJP lessons and I would like to leave some feedback about this wonderful site !

This website has managed to create an excellent environment for language learners and has adopted an interesting learning method through which one can practice all the essential skills for learning a new language: reading, listening, writing and speaking, not to mention all the wonderful lessons about the culture and traditions of the respective language. Everything was made easy to understand and comprehend, thus making the language learning process quite enjoyable .

For me, Rocket Japanese was a powerful tool for taking up the Japanese language and has given me the courage and power to keep it up. The forum has many knowledgeable and charismatic members which have helped me very much throughout the language learning process.

If it weren't for Rocket Languages, I wouldn't have managed to pass JLPT N3 exam just through self-learning as there are no Japanese language teachers in the vicinity where I live.

As always, the website seems to be growing larger and larger, new features being introduced every year. I would like to thank Rocket Languages for everything that it has offered us and also to thank Sayaka-sensei here at Rocket Japanese for making us understand how fun it can be to learn this delightful language.

I am more than happy to recommend this web application to anyone who wants to start learning a new language !

I love this app! I chose this over duolingo, and here is why:

1).Duo always pressures you to do your lessons and even takes away your streak if you miss a day which is completely unfair. But with Rocket languages, you can miss a few days and it won't send you continuous messages to do it, as duolingo does. It will sometimes reset your streak, but it doesn't pop up in your face

2). Rocket languages doesn't only have text-to-speech lessons, but you can actually repeat what it says, and the AI will check your accuracy. Duolingo can't do that.

3). Instead of waiting to complete the overall course for each stage of talking the language you want to speak, you can choose if you are ready to start a new course or not WITHOUT having to complete a test.

That concludes my opinion of why I think rocket languages is more relieving than Duolingo. You can get the full learning experience and not have to worry about being pressured!

Rocket Japanese is an excellent resource - highly recommend

I love this site! I have learned a lot more in japanese here than duolingo!

The fact that Keni and Sayaka, native Japanese, do the speaking, and then Sarah, an American, does the explaining, is quite helpful as it allows for you hear what it would sound when spoken by a native, but it is easier to understand when being explained. I am pretty happy with it so far, albeit I haven't really gotten that far in. I purchased all 3 lessons so I sure as hell hope its good all the way through! There seems to be around 200 lessons I have to get through, so it will certainly keep me occupied for a while. Here are my two complaints, I hope these are fixed in the future because I think it would truly be a nearly perfect language learning course after that:
#1. I think a lot of us have this issue. The microphone does not work well, even with headphones. It's often with shorter words, and I understand that's simply because shorter words are harder to pick up with speech recognition. Albeit, when the internet is slow, none of them work.
#2: This is the most important: what would be extremely helpful is text documents going into greater depth on grammar and structure. I know that we're sort of supposed to learn that long the way, but at the beginning you are left feeling sort of lost, and we will have to learn these rules at some point. Having a reference point to study up on would be infinitely helpful in terms of grammar. And this wouldn't even require much, I do not think--perhaps a PDF a few pages long telling the basic rules of Japanese.

Very good. Easy to understand.

It would be good after the audio, that we are able to download in writing what was in the audio

Hi! So many success stories here....And then there's me. haha. (Through no fault of Rocket Japanese!)
I ordered Rocket Japanese back in 2008 I think it was, so I should have learned a lot of Japanese by now - but I'm a horrible self-motivator, and often slack off on projects I start. I don't actually have a pressing need to learn Japanese - so it's hard for me to make myself buckle down study like I should... (Maybe someday I'll meet a cute little 'reason' to need to learn Japanese...haha)
I'm glad I ordered the course. I remember a lot of what I learned when I was studying. The course is effective - it works! I do want to get back to it and continue to learn more.... (^_^) Thanks!!

started using Rocket Spanish about 6 monthsago, when I spoke almost no Spanish. I first visited Japan in 2014, with maybe 10 words. Thanks to Rocket Japnese, I was able to move to Japan and I can now speak with people every day...

I really like this program, it helps me to learn everyday about how to talk in Japanese hopefully I'll do more of this program and maybe one day talk to someone who is studying the same language as I am.

I could not be more pleased with a language learning program! Rocket Japanese is comprehensive, detailed and easy to follow! I have been struggling to study Japanese for years, but now I have a clear goals and the tools necessary to meet them. Rocket Japanese has given me new inspiration and passion to study Japanese. I highly recommend this program to anyone and everyone looking to learn a new language.
