I love this site because i get to learn a new language.
I've been using this course for two years plus now, and that I still continue to use it daily demonstrates that it does a good job of keeping me motivated.
Ultimately, with learning any language, it's good to use as wide selection of different sources, which I still do, and you should definitely do anyway - healthy way to learn.
The strength of this course is that lessons are broken up in a very logical way; lesson length and difficulty is scaled up at a good pace; the desktop and mobile experience content-wise is the same, though presented accordingly; and the tests give you good motivation to go back and improve and correct your mistakes.
Most importantly: there is a feedback option, so if you spot inconsistencies or mistakes you can inquire, and I have found the customer service side of things to be constructive and positive - they certainly tolerate my pedantry!
With the great help from this application, I can understand more and more Japanese through my daily study
learning is a lot easier here, japanese seem really easy to learn from here......
Out of all the courses I've used, I've easily learned the most from this one.
Some of the other resources I've used have been heavily focused on trial and error, and they leave you with only a vague understanding of the language. They'll pair a sound with some pictures or a rough translation of what the words mean and you're supposed to just repeat the sounds and hope that you kind of understand them. This may work especially well for romance languages if you're coming to it as an English-speaker, but not for something as far-removed from English as Japanese.
This course does something I haven't seen any other course do, and it explains exactly why sentences are structured the way they are. This makes it much easier to learn the language because it gives you room to experiment with the words you're learning. Just knowing how particles work and how sentences are usually structured makes a big difference in how much information I end up retaining, because I'll actually know how to use a word I'm learning in a sentence.
This is a great course, and I highly recommend it even if it's not your first, but especially if it is.
I'm very satisfied with my purchase of Rocket Japanese, especially with the voice recognition so that pronunciation can be practiced. The one glaring downside seems to be the ghost-town of a forum. Sometimes I'll post a question or feedback and not receive a reply for days, and so it's not as user friendly as the forums on Duolingo or WaniKani. Perhaps more staff/tutors could be hired to at least make sure every new thread gets a response? Overall I would still recommend Rocket Japanese, especially with the 60% discount codes (which make the price "just right" IMHO). Cheers!
I am delighted with the program so far! It appears to be well-designed and relatively easy to use. I'm very encouraged!
This is the first time I have tried to learn a language since high school 40 years ago. I am having so much fun, and its easier than I thought it would be to learn a new language in my 50s. I look forward to 30 min with Rocket Japanese every day andI feel that I would like to take Sayaka and Kenny out to a sushi restaurant to celebrate the joy that this course is giving me. Sugoi !!
