Rocket Languages Reviews

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.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this, It makes learning Japanese so easy, I totally recommend this! <3

Superb program that covers each of the language modalities clearly and thoroughly.

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.

The lessons are very good, the conversations flashcards that let us memorize the words it is very good well made, too bad I can't afford for more courses/

The first lesson was awesome. I already knew most greetings , however the presentation and practice was very good.

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this course.

Maria Gomez is the customer care representative that has been helping me.
I was very discouraged with the difficulty of the Japanese language at first. After writing to your friendly support rep (Maria Gomez) my confidence with the language have improved tremendously. I seriously felt like quitting but she encouraged me to stick to it. Thanks to her I am feeling much more confident with my new found interest in the Japanese language. It's been more difficult than I could express to live in Japan without understanding even the most basic Japanese. I owe her such a big thanks. I won't forget how nice she was to me. This is one of those instances when someone helps (REALLY caring) and ends up being the person to change things for the good- in a life of someone who had nearly given up.
I'll pay it forward. ARIGATO MARIA GOMEZ!

I like learning Japanese here, very happy with my choice.
