Rocket Japanese Reviews

I started about 4 days ago and have put in about 15-20 hours studying because it is so much fun. I have not felt bored or overwhelmed at all even when faced with the thousands of kanji to remember. I love the pace the audio lessons setup to begin with. Although, the third lesson in particular was tough to keep up with but it seems to just be an editing mistake not leaving enough time to repeat the phrases. I have had an amazing experience and have learned so much so far. I even found myself waking up this morning to repeating Japanese phrases as soon as I opened my eyes. It is very refreshing to enjoy learning something new after having been out of school for a few years. My goal with this knowledge is to supplement my chemistry degree and get into an international company working with Japanese businesses.

Love it thus far. But the pace seems to be picking up rather quickly. For example i feel they are not leave enough time in between word or parses for you to repeat when compared to previous lessons. Don't get me wrong i expected it to eventually speed up but i'm only on the third lesson. I've found myself having to review this lesson a lot more then the first two because it was so hard to keep up at first. Even so i still really enjoy Rocket Japanese as you can tell form the start of my review and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn Japanese.

This is by far the best language program I have tried. It's very engaging and very informative. Yes, you can learn phrases prior to learning the grammar but I feel it's easier to hear those phrases and understand what they mean first. Then break it down to no what each is what. From there I can add new vocab I learnt and use them in different phrases to get my meaning across. This allows me to feel more comfortable conversing with others that speak the language. This software gives almost everything you need in learning a new language. From practice conversations (yes you speak instead of just memorizing with no speech practice), to the writing system. This is an amazing program and I'm glad I purchased it!

Rocket Japanese has helped me with my Japanese class in school, and allowed me to catch up because i had fell behind. It is a great system. I highly recommend it to any one wanting to learn Japanese. I'm even having fun with it. Rocket Japanese really can help if you just want to start understanding some anime, because not all of the CC translations are right.

I'm learning much more than I thought was possible online and having a good deal of fun Rocket Languages really gave me the tools to succeed with my new language .I love the way the process tests you not only on your memory but also on your enunciation of the language. Many times my intonation is not what it should be and the system catches it. Thank you Rocket Language

Rocket languages certainly gives such in depth lessons into Japanese, and really helps it stick into your brain like no other program can do. The interactive audio lessons help you learn pronunciation and some of the cultural aspects of the language as well.

this feels like it actually teaches you how to learn the language if you put for the effort and do what it instructs. ive tried other language learning sites and they feel like theyre just teaching you words while this site teachers you sentences and their structer.

Rocket Japanese: it's been two (April 14.) months since the Rocket Language app for iOS has been updated and since I am not able to use it anymore as it is not possible to write in hiragana/katakana anymore. I contacted support, got (after days - and weeks) assurance that it will be taken care of - yet the "bug" update 2 weeks ago did not address any of my clearly communicated (screenshots and screenvideo) problems. If you work on iOS (iPhoneX & iPad Pro, latest firmware) do not download this app - it is NOT working as advertised.
A word to the support... promising an update and therefore a working app might "quiet" the user but it is contraproductive to take no action at all.
I'll be happy to re-review my feedback once I am able to use the app again. Until then... 1 star.

I am on my third day of learning Japanese, and so far I am very satisfied with Rocket languages. Before I bought it I researched the best software for learning Japanese, and this was at the top of many lists. I am confident that I will become fluent in Japanese through Rocket Languages! If i were to say something constructive, it would be that I wish there was a written version of the audio lesson underneath each recording. I like to take notes while listening, and being about to visually see the lesson would make that easier.

I like how the course gives you instant ability to say full sentences, and doesn't just focus on vocabulary or grammar separately. Everything is integrated. The phrases are also very relevant and useful. I also enjoy the mix of culture and language that is taught.
There are some aspects of the course that I don't find as useful, such as the 'Write It' and 'Flashcard' components, only because I don't feel they are benefiting me and I feel they are sort of tedious and a chore. I like the quizzes and the ability to practice saying the phrases in the 'Know It' section.
