Rocket japan is great, I haven't finished yet but I can already talk to my Japanese classmates. I had purchased it during a sale and got all 3 levels for 150 which for me made it a good deal but after using it I definitely would have bought it at full price. definitely recommend this if you're on the fence between two different programs rocket japan is just so polished, not to mention they have an app that works amazingly well. 10 out of 10 I recommend.

I am just 14 years old and I've mastered basic Japanese. I am thankful to Rocket Japanese for letting me know so many things about Japanese language. The modules are perfect and easy for everyone. I would suggest everyone to at least try learning Japanese at the website. I love the customer services as well as the information and experience that Rocket Japanese has given me. Once again thank u so much Rocket Japanese for giving free trials with exceptional knowledge. Thank u.

The fact that Keni and Sayaka, native Japanese, do the speaking, and then Sarah, an American, does the explaining, is quite helpful as it allows for you hear what it would sound when spoken by a native, but it is easier to understand when being explained. I am pretty happy with it so far, albeit I haven't really gotten that far in. I purchased all 3 lessons so I sure as hell hope its good all the way through! There seems to be around 200 lessons I have to get through, so it will certainly keep me occupied for a while. Here are my two complaints, I hope these are fixed in the future because I think it would truly be a nearly perfect language learning course after that:
#1. I think a lot of us have this issue. The microphone does not work well, even with headphones. It's often with shorter words, and I understand that's simply because shorter words are harder to pick up with speech recognition. Albeit, when the internet is slow, none of them work.
#2: This is the most important: what would be extremely helpful is text documents going into greater depth on grammar and structure. I know that we're sort of supposed to learn that long the way, but at the beginning you are left feeling sort of lost, and we will have to learn these rules at some point. Having a reference point to study up on would be infinitely helpful in terms of grammar. And this wouldn't even require much, I do not think--perhaps a PDF a few pages long telling the basic rules of Japanese.

Response from Rocket Languages

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Aldrich - Thanks for your review. We are actually at the start of a project to completely redo the Rocket Japanese Language lessons so that they are far more closely aligned with the JLPT structure. We hope to have the Level 1 of these new lessons out within a couple of months. At the same time we will be looking at the voice recognition examples and making those better if need be.

So far its realy good, only having done lesson one. By far better than most of the learning tools i've used so far. The only thing im finding that could do with improving is the time to record your voice and make the time to record longer.

Well, I'm kind of struggling on how to write the words, but other than that, I love it. :]

I want to go to Japan as a study abroad option in college, so I thought I should get a head start on the grammar and vocabulary before starting at University. The grammar and culture lessons are very understandable and all my prior knowledge about Japanese Culture aligns with what Rocket Japanese has to say. It is one of the more expensive platforms out there, but if you are serious about learning Japanese, know that this website has put time into their course to make sure you learn to whatever level you want and at any pace you want.

I purchased Rocket Japanese a few years ago and put it on the back burner. I've recently gotten my interest back up and have been practicing more. Not being an expert on language courses, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. The frustration I have is self inflicted as I have difficulty with sentence structure and conjugating verbs. That is no fault of the program, however. I just have to let go of established norms to understand better what I am trying to learn.
