The (new) japanese course #1 was great, it made me buy #2 ... which is a mess. The audio is not good, the japanese accent of the english speaker is wrong, the delay for repeating the word is wrong and the content is sometime the same as #1.
To make it worse, the content is highly specific, like opening a bank account, which is really boring and useless for a beginner.

I found Japanese to be a beautiful and very interesting language, and I'm very excited to be able to learn it.

It’s always lovely to connect with someone as passionate about Japanese culture as we are here at Rocket. We can't wait to see where your learning takes you!
It seems to be working. I've never tried to learn another language but this course has taught me a lot so far and I believe it's teaching me fairly well. I believe there is too much hand holding so far in the beginner course. The translation leans too far on the English side of things and that creates problems. When the English phrase is too far removed from the Japanese translation you end up having to create a middle ground phrase to translate the translation. Some of the phrases translate well to very proper English and would make more sense in my mind, even if that's now how people regularly talk in America. Sometimes a literal translation would do a better job in teaching how phrases will be constructed in Japanese vs English. There are too many instances where I have to figure out how the course is trying to teach something before I can move forward with learning it. Sometimes this takes the form of inconsistencies in the flash cards. I bought the entire Japanese language course on sale and I think that it was pricey but fair. I don't plan on buying any other language courses any time soon, but if I did I would probably buy one from another company simply out of curiosity. I would recommend the Japanese courses to a friend.

Thanks for the feedback! Here at Rocket our translation philosophy is centred on conveying the meaning of the phrase, ensuring that you understand when and how to use the phrase rather than just the literal translation. That said, we know that literal translations are important for the learning process. If you want a more literal translation, look out for the grey lit. button on the top right of the phrases. Remember, our Audio Lessons are focused on communicating, so all the grammar will fall into place once you check out our Language and Culture Lessons. All the best!
Shopping as the 3rd lesson? What an absolute joke!

That's great to hear, Sulabh! Best of luck with your Japanese language learning!
This course really makes sure you get visual learning, audio learning, and spoken learning including grammar. I'm loving it so far it feels like I'm in school again with a strong curriculum to follow unlike other courses that has no curriculum and guidance.
