I was a little hesitant with purchasing a language software but after trying out several company trials, Rocket Languages really took a stride and stood out and bridged the gap between just repetition and putting context into reality. I am just starting but I am pleased with how much smoother the learning process is going.

I absolutely love Rocket Languages, or in my case Rocket Japanese! I’ve had an account since 2011 and I just love the way it enables you to actively practice speech even if you don’t have a person to practice with. Since learning Japanese to me is a hobby, it is something that gets put on hold more often than not, however whenever I want to get back into it I start with listening to Rocket Japanese audio lessons. It’s puts me right back in the action of the language, something that would be neither as easy nor as fun if I were just using a book. I do combine the Rocket course with a book for better grammar and more hands-on practice in addition to a Kanji book, as I prefer more exercises, but it would not go as smoothly without your lessons, which are enjoyable even after the so-manieth repeat. just want to add that I appreciate all the upgrades that you do :)

Rocket Japanese gave me the opportunity to learn Japanese in the comfort of my own home and in my own pace. The lessons are so user friendly that you always feel confident of your progress after each lesson. 10/10 Rating experience! Would recommend Rocket Languages to anyone.

It's a really good site and as high as the prices are in comparison to other sites out there, it's definitely worth the money and it isn't a monthly payment like most other sites. It's also a really fun course to work your way through which helps. Their deals, especially the Black Friday deals exceeded my expectations and cut down the prices by a LOT which I commend the site for. I would highly recommend you give their course a try even if it's only for the free trial.

Best Language learn program, I have ever bought. I've gone to college and bought other language learning programs but none have come close to the detail and extensive information like "Rocket Languages". Truly the "BEST" program ever invented.

I absolutely love the layout of Rocket Japanese. The read and response questions as well as the pronunciation practice really helps to nail down such a complex language. I often listen to the lessons when it's not busy at work or when I'm driving so there's never a lot of downtime between lessons.

I do recommend that you use another learning app along with this one. With Japanese being the complex language that it is (especially for English speakers) it's recommended to learn the language from multiple perspectives, or even focus on something that you find is weaker than other aspects of the language (like Kanji or Pronunciation).

That being said, you can absolutely get by just by using this program. It is on the more expensive side, but if you're serious about learning the language it's an investment that should absolutely be considered.

I used to really enjoy these lessons (taking the Japanese course). The banter between tutors Sayaka and the original Kenny made lessons enjoyable and fun. Since I had returned from my trip to Japan I had taken a short break from practicing, but I recently jumped back on only to learn that the original audio lessons have been replaced with a super boring monotoned narrator. While the program did initially help me impress all of my Japanese friends, it no longer feels like I have lifelike tutors to encourage me to keep up my studies, just a robot with choppy cut and paste vocabulary being lectured at me. The enthusiasm of the lessons is gone and sadly so is mine with learning from this program.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Christopher - We are sorry that you feel that way. The decision was made to replace the non-native speaker (Kenny's) parts with a native speaker. The decision basically came down to answering "what provides the best and most authentic learning experience for the majority of learners?". While Kenny has been a big part of Rocket Japanese we just thought that his accent compromised the voice recognition functionality.

I highly recommend the Rocket Japanese course.
I'm a Brazilian living in London. So I'm learning a foreign language in English, which is not my native language in the first place. But I'm really enjoying, the content is very clear and easy to understand.
I've seen some other reviews complaining about the "new" Kenny, but I must say I prefer the new one. The fact that he is native helps a lot, even without the whole "enthusiasm" the former one had.
I started last year and had to stop for a while as I didn't have time to continue, but now I've started over and noticed the new narrator and new Kenny as well. I found a good surprise.

The "Dictionary" or Basic form of japanese verbs. The basic form of all japanese verbs ends with "u" . This is the form listed in the Dictionary, and is the informal , present affirmative form of the verb. The form is used among close friends and family in informal situation.
