I love how immersive it is and the fact that you can see what place you are in on the leaderboard to keep you pumped is awesome. I switched over from Duolingo and trust me, Rocket is much better. Try it out yourself today!

We’re so glad to hear how much you’re enjoying the comprehensiveness of the course and that the leaderboard is keeping you motivated! It’s great to know Rocket Languages is a strong fit after your time with Duolingo. Thanks for the recommendation and for making us part of your language-learning journey!
Rocket Japanese is a great course for structured learning, especially for improving speaking skills. I really like the speaking practice — it helps me apply what I learn and build confidence in real conversation. The voice recognition and dialogue exercises make it easy to practice pronunciation naturally. It fits perfectly alongside my other study methods, like watching anime with Migaku and using NativShark, since Rocket Japanese gives me the grammar and structure I sometimes miss from immersion. Overall, it’s a solid, motivating course that balances fun and effectiveness, especially if you want to actually speak Japanese, not just understand it.

Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, Matthias! It’s fantastic to hear how Rocket Japanese complements your immersion tools and helps you build confidence in speaking. We’re especially glad the structured grammar and pronunciation practice are adding value to your learning. Your dedication really shows; keep going strong!
I've been using RocketLanguages for a few years now and prefer it over any other learning program for speech and conversation. Level 1 of RocketJapanese is superb, though the audio lessons of Levels 2 and 3 lack the same clarity and smoothness. The content of the lessons is great and I have no issue with the Japanese speakers, but the English-speaking hosts in Levels 2 and 3 have distractingly poor delivery: the pacing of their sentences is inconsistent, the editing cuts some words too early, and the speakers' intonation and emphasis is very odd, often quite unnatural. When repeating Japanese words immediately after the Japanese speakers do, the english-speaking hosts' pronunciation is so far off I sometimes wonder if the lessons were recorded without the speakers listening to each other. I still get the practice and review in Japanese that I want from the lessons, but not without difficulty listening to the hosts.
It's a great program, and I do recommend it to anyone who asks. The fact that Level 2 was updated is a good sign for the future; if the hosts of the audio lessons in Levels 2 and 3 can be re-recorded to match the rhythm and clarity of intonation that Level 1 has, it'll be top-notch.

Response from Rocket Languages
We’re delighted to hear that you find the program thorough and effective, Charles. Wishing you continued success as you progress in your learning!
The detailed explanations from early on really help me to understand what I'm saying a lot more, and so I remember the words better. I'm also a big fan of the literal translations, because that is always how my brain has worked when it comes to learning languages.

Most excellent product for learning new languages. Easy to use and very affordable. not to mention its permanent so awesome!
i love this website, this is a great things to learn.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LUV IT
It's been a great way to review and practicing listening and speaking skills. It's a great starting point too. I live in Japan and have been picking up Japanese very slowly. Rocket Japanese does a good job balancing all elements of learning the language. It obviously isn't the best for learning kanji...BUT kanji isn't my goal right now. There are some great kanji apps out there to supplement that that too, such as kanji garden. This site is also very user friendly.
