The interactive audio lessons are so fun, non-stressful, and easy to use. I love the feature that allows me to input translations just by highlighting the words in the conversation and then test myself by going through it on my own. I download the lessons I'm working on and listen to them in the car or at work. I've already recommended Rocket Languages to most of my family and friends! Rocket Languages is nearly perfect but one thing I'd like to see at some point is more audio reviews with different uses of the words from the lesson and a review covering literally everything up to the present point. So if I'm at lesson 1.3, i'd like to see a review covering 1.0-1.3 on it. Or if I'm at lesson 3.2, I'd like to review 1.0-3.2 at some point to make sure I haven't forgotten the basics.

As you are told in the lessons, there is no shame in making mistakes! Then there is always the chance to listen again, or trying writing the answer again...!
Even typing the Hiragana script on-screen is fun!

Overall, a great product. I was able to learn Japanese petty fast with Rocket Japanese. Great interactive audio lessons. They are very helpful when trying to memorize the lesson and understand the meanings. Culture lessons have great content. However, I am a slow reader, I wish the culture lessons had interactive audio lesson along with them as well.

too early to tell, but it seems good thus far! i have learned to accept that at first i may seem a little pathetic and that it is important to persevere. i know from other learning experiences that eventually i will reach a plateau where things make more sense.

I already speak some Japanese and I speak German very well. I am using these as a review through my local library system. One thing I found is a bit off and often is with Japanese is that you ask a person to write in Japanese but have the lessons for writing kana separate and ongoing with the other lessons. Also your keyboard input is slightly off from my foreign language IME...Your basic lessons only accept exact copies of what you have written when the kanji form and sometimes other writings are correct.

Rocket Language incorporates great listening, speaking, and writing practice. Each lesson covers prior lessons so you're always practicing what you've learned earlier. Rocket Language is well worth the investment of time and money!

Rocket languages supply "Translation method" for learning 2nd Languages . It's the same as in the school. There worse has no photos to understand by view , no stroke order .
Too many lessons for beginners .

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Bubill - Did you see the Writing lessons? There are videos in each of those showing you how to draw different characters, with the correct stroke order!

Rocket Japanese is super easy to use, and I would say that I learned better with Rocket Japanese than I ever did with Rosetta Stone. It is super easy to follow the instructions, and the leaderboard they have really appeals to my competitive side.

(Japanese, Level 1 review) Methodically located somewhere between Pimsleur, YesJapan/Japanese From Zero and Japanesepod101, Rocket Japanese provides a strong, content-rich guided learning experience that can serve as a backbone to any serious self-learning effort. Of all the programs I have tried (including Rosetta Stone, Textfugu, WaniKani, Living Language, the Genki textbooks and those mentioned above), this is certainly the most comprehensive and challenging from the start.
Conversation exercises, which are at the core of the program, are very well executed and the speech recognition system ensures that there is a degree of accountability here. For auditive learners such as myself, these work just as well if not better than Pimsleur, which is an old but effective way to memorize phrases and gain some initial conversational skills.
The main weakness of Rocket Japanese comes in the lack of a spaced repetition system. I STRONGLY advise learners to use an external flashcard software (such as Anki) or analogue flashcards for their vocab learning. Since actually creating flashcards is in itself good practice, however, I wouldn't deduct any points for this given the overall strong showing on display.
