I am enjoying the lessons so far but is a bit difficult to understand why the same word has different translations. Specifically "Hajime mashite". It is a bit off-putting. The rating on customer service can be ignored, I have not had the need to contact them. I am happy with the price but mainly because I got it at a 60% discount. Not sure I would have bought it otherwise. I also wish that there was a notification in the app that the voice recognition is much better on PC. I found that on the app it didn't recognize a difference with me ending in "masu" or "mashita" even though it wanted the latter.

I am a beginner and have only taken a couple of lessons but I found the experience enjoyable (1.1 and 1.2). Very easy to follow along with the speakers. That plus the great discount price made me jump to purchase the first level premium. I would certainly recommend to anyone who wants to learn Japanese.

When I first began studying the Japanese language, I didn't know anything or how to read or write.
Thanks to great teachers Sayaka san and Kenny San, I learned how to construct an effective way to listen and talk and enjoy learning the Japanese language. In my learning, I aim to evoke the same excitement of discovery and achievement that I felt, I hope to get your video learning lesson soon. You deserve 5 stars for sure.

I really love how the explanations are in depth on grammar and vocabulary. It is a bit expensive, but I am satisfied with the experience so it was worth the price. I also like how you can practice conversation and perfect your accent via recording. Overall I am happy and satisfied, I only wish writing practice/lessons were included in each lesson.

I'm really loving rocket languages, I've used it on and off for awhile and I'm determined to make it a part of my routine to learn Spanish and Japanese. I'm so glad that it's available through my local library, because it's free to use and it's super helpful.

I studied Japanese in college over ten years ago and was looking for a program to get me back into learning this language. Although its only been a short while, I have to say that this is a great program. Having used other language learning programs in the past (Pimsleur), I can say that this one is more comprehensive, giving you multiple methods of learning in order to cement each lesson into your brain. I would recommend to my friends and family.

My fiance got this for me as an early valentines day/anniversary present. At first I was skeptical because I've tried learning Japanese so many ways for about 2 years now and I couldnt find anything that I could use on the go that would also let me practice vocally. I even took a college class that was tough, mostly just writing, and hard for my busy schedule.

At first I didnt realize all the lessons had writing and speaking and then I started playing with the app more and I noticed all the awesome features it comes with, including almost 400 hours of lesson time in the 3 levels! I have the app on my phone and I use it during breaks at work and durring my long commutes.

The only complaint I have is that the voice recognition has trouble when I'm driving on the highway and other times it stops before I'm done speaking. Otherwise Rocket Japanese has been perfect for my lifestyle this far!

I am surprised to be enjoying learning Japanese. It IS challenging and takes effort, but the (literally) infinite patience of the instructors and light-hearted nature of the instruction keep it enjoyable. Teaching with conversations initially seems daunting. but it's broken down so well, that you will feel accomplishment by lesson's end. 4 stars on the service only because I haven't needed it yet.

My husband and I watch a lot of Japanese television like anime and some regular TV shows and thought how awesome it would be to actually be able to understand what the characters are saying without having to read subtitles. We also would like to take a trip to Japan in the future. We were both reluctant to start learning Japanese because we've heard how difficult it can be and that it takes years to become just somewhat fluent. But, we decided to take the leap and signed up for several Japanese learning tools. We started with Rosetta Stone and after 2 days of being on the trial version, we cancelled it because it wasn't working for us. We weren't retaining anything. Then, we found Rocket Japanese and we couldn't believe that we were actually able to have a short conversation after just 2 days!! Rocket Japanese is the easiest and most intuitive program out there for learning Japanese. It's so much fun and so interesting that I spend hours doing the lessons without realizing that much time had passed. I'd recommend Rocket Languages to everyone trying to learn a new language. Arigatō to the creators of this program, I am forever grateful to have this resource!
