It has been very frustrating having a Japanese wife and not being able to speak much Japanese. When we get together with her friends or her parents I feel a bit lost sometimes. The tipping point was my recent trip to Japan. I decided right then that I REALLY need to be able to speak the language. I researched many programs online and Rocket Japanese seemed to be the best fit for me. I must say I have been extremely happy. I can take things at my pace. I do about twenty minutes each day. I love the banter back and forth between Kenny and Sayaka. It keeps it fresh and interesting. I am confident that I am finally on my way to being able to speak Japanese. Thanks so much!
I just did one lesson, and I knew a few words and phrases already. I liked how I easy and fast learned new words but some more explaining about
ogenki: formal genki: informal
arigatō gozaimasu: formal arigatō: informal
I didn't hear any of this, but everything else was amazing
arigatō gozaimasu
It's a very well thought out progression through the language. And starts in immediately with practically applicable language with the rules of grammar sprinkled in here and there. Enough so that you actually learn the mechanics of the language but not so much per lesson that it becomes overwhelming or dull. All in all it's a very very good course and I'm very happy with it.
Rocket Languages is great for getting into a language right away with phrases you will use often, and then following it up with cultural lessons, which are interesting and important if you plan to visit that country.
I really enjoy the variety of tasks per lesson. While not all are how I learn, it appears that Rocket Language covers a wide variety of learning styles to cover most people's learning styles. I enjoy the audio portions and the text recall sessions. Combined I feel like I'm learning three times as fast as I would with either one on their own.
If you want to start learning a language Rocket Language is a good way to jump in head first.
It's a well organized website with interesting features that helped making learning more fun and interesting. I can say that the content is suitable for anyone looking to learn about japanease culture and language. The excercises are also good so learners must take their time practicing if they want to improve their mastery level.
I have two other Rocket Language programs and am now trying Spanish. Like the others, it's very user-friendly with easy-to-navigate, comprehensive modules. I love that you can go at your own pace without hassle, (which comes in very handy with my slow approach to Mandarin!) The lessons are logically arranged and build on previous lessons. Testing, quizzes, reviews, pronunciation tools, (like record and compare,) make Rocket Languages the best system I've ever seen or used. Most programs simply drill you in vocabulary, but RL teaches you a language AND its culture! They are truly the best!
This program has only gotten better as the years have gone bye. I have loved the updates on the site. It is easy to use, and easier to learn. The lessons are not too long, so it doesn't ever look overwhelming. There are games too, which make learning even more fun.
Enjoy learning it, Very good because you can always return to difficult parts. Had to stop for a while because of moving my home, but it was easy to pick up. From now on, I'll regularly continue. The target is learning the language. Unfortunately, my computer does not allow voice recording. I hope that this does not influence the study results.

Hi Elza - Make sure you try the Android and iOS apps!
I have enjoyed watching Japanese anime shows for years. With just a few lessons of Rocket Japanese, I'm beginning to pick out certain words and phrases without the need to read the subtitles. I look forward to a better understanding of the language by the end of the course!
