Rocket Languages Reviews

I decided to try Rocket Japanese because I wanted to learn some Japanese before a trip to Tokyo .I just returned, and the Japanese I learned with Rocket Japanese was not only extremely helpful, i want to learn more.

I was hesitant to purchase it due to the cost but it is worth it. This course includes Speach, Reading, and Writing. The part that gave me the push to buy it was the lifetime access and future upgrades. If all the courses are the same, I will be purchasing more later.
I got all the levels. If you are going to learn a language it might at well be all the material; there is no point it only getting one level.

love it! Makes learning a language fun and enjoyable. I was very hesitate to go with the program. But found it to be better than Rosetta stone and others out there. Not only are you able to learn new language, but you are able to practice them in different ways...

A good product to get started with the basic conversation.
Every sentence is broken into pieces and every word is explained in great detail.
As long as someone wants to start conversing then its good but if the emphasis is on taking exams such as JLPT then it may not be very useful as its purpose is different.

I am a bilingual person (translator from English into French) trying to learn Japanese. I've been trying several methods books, on-line, etc., over several years. Even though this method is far more interesting and educational than Rosetta, I feel that it is lacking of grammatical points or explanations, so to be a complete learner, you need to complement it by another mean (books or apps). After saying that, I will still recommend this on-line method, since I believe it is one of the best today.
Improvements:
The testing system: it would be more educational to be testing more than 5 (Japanese 2) or 10 questions (Japanese 2), while the listen and writing, test you on over 30 questions.
Even though the voice recognition improve dramatically over the years, it is still sometimes difficult to use it, especially with long sentence in the Play role section. The system stops before I say half of the sentences. It works fine most of the time with single word.
The first audio is too long and have a lot of unnecessary moments. For example, why practicing to say a word or sentence when it is listed in the vocabulary section in which you can learn how to say it as well? Also, to be honest, Kenny's voice is a little annoying after a while.

I really like this approach.
I am taking Japanese lessons weekly and find that remembering commonly used phrases helps me in class.
Had some trouble with password reset yesterday on my iPhone, so reset it on my desk top.
Will see if it works

Started Rosetta Stone at first and did not like the structure of how they want you to learn to how I ACTUALLY learn. I purchased this after a trial because after 10 minutes of Rocket-Japanese I learned 5 useful phrases that I still haven't forgotten. With Rosetta Stone I was just confused because there is no explanation of anything you're seeing or saying. Rocket-Japanese tells you the word in English/Japanese and writes the word in English, Hiragana and Katakana. Being able to hear accents and pronunciation has helped how I sound greatly. I will continue to use this as well as supplement another useful tool.

Great stuff!

I fell in love with Japanese through Anime. The Japanese Grammar is so different from all the other languages I speak. One really has to learn to think like a Japanese person and I think Rocket Japanese really has the best approach to it. Explaining Grammar where it is necessary and leaving it aside where it isn't. Their program is also the most pragmatic one. You really learn relevant stuff for every day life. Other programs make you speak like a lifeless robot, not Rocket Japanese. It also is the most comprehensive language course for Japanese I know of. The price may be a little bit high but it seems to be worth it. The reason why I probably won't be buying any other courses is that I already bought the 3 levels for Japanese. It already is my 5th language and I don't want to add another one.

I absolutely love Rocket Language System. I wish I could be on it more but work prevails most of the time. I love the way the process tests you not only on your memory but also on your enunciation of the language. Many times my intonation is not what it should be and the system catches it. It helps me a lot to improve my communication skills and I also i would like to recommend this site to all my friends.
Thank you Rocket Language!

Rocket languages really gave me the tools to succeed with my new language. It brought me to a level where I was finally comfortable speaking with native speakers and I was able to take off on my own after that...i love it...Rocket was the only one that combined pronunciation, conversation, reading, writing, and grammar into one solution. So far, I love the way the lessons work...
