Rocket Japanese is a pretty good introduction to Japanese. It's definitely far better than Rosetta Stone and a few other programs I had some experience with (but fortunately never actually wasted money on), but despite how they boast about teaching grammar, it does a woefully inadequate job of teaching even the most basic grammar, and there are some strange choices for vocabulary to teach: for instance, there is an entire survival kit that is more than 80% words that I will never use because I don't drink alcohol or eat pork or shrimp. That being said, when used alongside other resources, it can be a fantastic introduction to Japanese. I especially recommend Tangorin.com (a dictionary) as a vocab supplement and Tae Kim's "Guide to Japanese" for grammar.
I believe that the purpose to Rocket Japanese is to teach you enough of a language to be able to have some level of basic interaction with natives if you go to Japan. To actually be able to learn the language to any real degree of fluency, you'll need a lot more. Nihongonomori.com is a good place to go after completing Rocket Japanese if you want to keep going in your Japanese studies.
Rocket Japanese is definitely worth the money: for the price of one year of weekly language course, you actually get more to learn and practice. I really enjoy the audio courses which are delightful. And the interactive website is well designed as well, except the audio recognition system which still needs some improvement. I really would like to see more interesting learning materials in future, and maybe some recommendations on videos, articles and cultural items that I can go look at.
Rocket Japanese is a comprehensive language course that teaches you how to speak and write Japanese. The conversational section at the end of the lesson puts you in a real conversation situation. There is a real good section on survival kit that will be very practical on my future travel to Japan. The moderators do a great job keeping it light and don't get you stressed out over the learning process. Excellent language learning tool!
Having tried other Japanese learning solutions (Books with audio files and other software solutions), I can say for sure that Rocket Languages has a clear advantage: it is very effective and comprehensive while being user friendly and interactive.
I especially enjoy the Web version, voice recognition and the quality and structure of dialogues which don't make them boring.
Pretty happy with this programme, and I've already recommended it to a few other people who were interested in learning some of the available languages. Having tried other programmes, including "the biggie" in the computer language-learning market, I must say that I like this better.
If I had more available time, I would really like to work on another language, but... !
This would very helpful to my new career as online English Teacher for Japanese Students, the materials are navigation friendly and categorize depends to the learners , I learned a lot for my first use to the words to correct pronunciation.
I would say Rocket Japanese has been the best self study aid for teaching myself Japanese . I have tried other Japanese learning aids like Books , audio files and other software , I can say for that Rocket Languages has a clear advantage , Its clean and simple layout with easy to follow instructions has been making it effective and comprehensive and user friendly .
I would highly recommend this product to others .
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 have tried a number of different courses and approaches in my quest to learn Japanese. Books (Genki course), online resources (such as Busuu and Duolingo), purely listening based (Pimsleur) and software (Rosetta Stone). Together with the Genki course books, Rocket Japanese is by far the most comprehensive of them all. One gets to train different modes, like listening, speaking, writing and so on. The voice recognition seems to have some minor glitches, the overall impression is still very positive.
