Rocket Languages Reviews

I just signed up and started learning Japanese about a week ago and really love the tutorials. Listening to the pronunciations and then recording and grading how you speak it is brilliant. Wasn't sure I'd be able to learn Japanese, but since I started this it has really made things easier. Immerse yourself as much as you can. It works!!

Compared with the course I was using previously, Rocket Japanese is first rate. The other one gave no grammar info, only said right or wrong (you had to figure out how to correct something that contained an error) and got worse the more advanced you got. I have been using RJ only a few days, but feel that I am progressing much faster. No complaints so far.

I've been looking for learning programs for months now, and Rocket Languages has been the easiest to use and learn from. I was able to speak and understand words and phrases almost immediately. Unlike other programs, this one has actually made it easy to learn to also read and write in the target language. I can't recommend this program strongly enough.

I've been wanting to learn a new language for the longest time and could never really settle on one. I took two years of French in high school but found it wasn't for me and never pursued it further. I've always thought the Japanese language was very beautiful and since I do follow a lot of current trends of Japan as well as being enthralled in the deep cultural history, this made my choice very easy.

At the time of this writing I have completed the first 5 lessons having listened to each lesson multiple times. I generally follow the lesson by scrolling through the conversation text while it is being spoken. Then I'll listen to the lesson on my drive to and from work. On average I listen to each lesson 4 times. The greatest thing about learning is that I actually feel like I'm learning the language. I'm recalling words and phrases and was even able to order myself sushi comfortably.

I have been extremely impressed with the Rocket Japanese course. I do know I have a long way to go but I promise you, that if you put in the effort and time you will succeed at this.

I like how the course gives you instant ability to say full sentences, and doesn't just focus on vocabulary or grammar separately. Everything is integrated. The phrases are also very relevant and useful. I also enjoy the mix of culture and language that is taught.
There are some aspects of the course that I don't find as useful, such as the 'Write It' and 'Flashcard' components, only because I don't feel they are benefiting me and I feel they are sort of tedious and a chore. I like the quizzes and the ability to practice saying the phrases in the 'Know It' section.

Rocket Japanese: it's been two (April 14.) months since the Rocket Language app for iOS has been updated and since I am not able to use it anymore as it is not possible to write in hiragana/katakana anymore. I contacted support, got (after days - and weeks) assurance that it will be taken care of - yet the "bug" update 2 weeks ago did not address any of my clearly communicated (screenshots and screenvideo) problems. If you work on iOS (iPhoneX & iPad Pro, latest firmware) do not download this app - it is NOT working as advertised.
A word to the support... promising an update and therefore a working app might "quiet" the user but it is contraproductive to take no action at all.
I'll be happy to re-review my feedback once I am able to use the app again. Until then... 1 star.

I am on my third day of learning Japanese, and so far I am very satisfied with Rocket languages. Before I bought it I researched the best software for learning Japanese, and this was at the top of many lists. I am confident that I will become fluent in Japanese through Rocket Languages! If i were to say something constructive, it would be that I wish there was a written version of the audio lesson underneath each recording. I like to take notes while listening, and being about to visually see the lesson would make that easier.

this feels like it actually teaches you how to learn the language if you put for the effort and do what it instructs. ive tried other language learning sites and they feel like theyre just teaching you words while this site teachers you sentences and their structer.

Rocket languages certainly gives such in depth lessons into Japanese, and really helps it stick into your brain like no other program can do. The interactive audio lessons help you learn pronunciation and some of the cultural aspects of the language as well.

I love this app. I have tried many other apps and they don't compare to Rocket. I had taken one class in Japanese at a local college and couldn't continue because of scheduling conflicts. Rocket Japanese has allowed me to continue studying Japanese. It is the next best thing to being in class. I have found the lessons to be extremely informative and, most importantly, relevant. The lessons are real world examples of conversations that I might actually have. I highly recommend this program.
