This site is amazing. I'm glad I learned more languages.
The site is very nice and easy to use the Japanese language. Thank you very much
If you're anything like me, you've tried to learn Japanese with Duolingo and bounced off. Rocket Japanese is, in a lot of ways, almost a polar opposite.
Instead of throwing a whole new alphabet at you immediately, Rocket Japanese starts with speaking exercises and lets you pick it up gradually. Instead of random computer-generated sentences, you get a coherent sequence of lessons where each one flows naturally into the next. Instead of having you guess important grammar rules, Rocket Japanese patiently explains them to you in an easy-to-understand way. The audio lessons in particular stand out -- they're fun and kind of kitschy in a way that made me feel nostalgic for high-school Spanish videotapes -- and you can try the first couple for free!
Rocket Japanese V1 was great a good balance between the conversations and grammar. But Japanese V2 seems to have far too much grammar content and this is resulting in very slow progress learning and relearning the same grammatical rules . Rocket Japanese V1 was much better . This focus on grammar is reminiscent of learning French when I was at school (in the 1960s ha ha!) and I fear will have the same effect... a French qualification but with only tourist level French conversational skills. A shame ...
Response from Rocket Languages
We're sorry to hear that you are finding the course too heavy on grammar. In our most recent review, we aligned Rocket Japanese to the JLPT requirements so that our course covers the standard topics a Japanese learner needs. For learners who are working towards JLPT, they have a more complete resource that they can use in their studies. For those who are not, aligning our courses simply means that you have a more concrete view of what your lessons cover. We have tried to introduce the heavy grammatical concepts in a digestible way, by splitting them up across the lessons and keeping things simple. We're confident that these updates are much more useful for all our learners, serious or casual!
