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.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Aldrich - Thanks for your review. We are actually at the start of a project to completely redo the Rocket Japanese Language lessons so that they are far more closely aligned with the JLPT structure. We hope to have the Level 1 of these new lessons out within a couple of months. At the same time we will be looking at the voice recognition examples and making those better if need be.

Finally, a course in Japanese that actually works for me! After numerous attempts to learn the beautiful but challenging language of Japanese through grammar books, CDs, and various software programs, I finally found Rocket Japanese, and now I feel that I am learning to speak and understand Japanese, instead of experiencing frustration and failure.

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 love Rocket Language. I have been searching for ways to learn Japanese for like literally forever! And when I came across Rocket Language, I could already write a paragraph in Hiragana, and read it! Rocket Language was like the best thing that could ever happen in my life.

The Rocket Language program is great. I used their Chinese and Japanese courses before traveling. I'm now working with their Spanish program. Their conversations introduce useful conversational vocabulary and the supplemental grammar and culture lessons are valuable. I'm really impressed by their user forums which discuss a wide range of topics - I've appreciated the discussions around how words are used in different contexts.

Rocket language is very helpful for me because it helps you understand the meaning of the languages and what it means.

This company has really impressed me. I bought the Japanese language course over 9 years ago, but never invested myself in it. After all this time I thought there was no way I'd still have access to the course, but I did.
This year I finally started studying it, and couldn't be happier with the rate at which I'm learning. I'm also really pleased to be able to check and practice my enunciation with the recording feature. 10/10 would recommend.
