I've been wanting to learn a new language for the longest time and could never really settle on one. I took two years of French in high school but found it wasn't for me and never pursued it further. I've always thought the Japanese language was very beautiful and since I do follow a lot of current trends of Japan as well as being enthralled in the deep cultural history, this made my choice very easy.
At the time of this writing I have completed the first 5 lessons having listened to each lesson multiple times. I generally follow the lesson by scrolling through the conversation text while it is being spoken. Then I'll listen to the lesson on my drive to and from work. On average I listen to each lesson 4 times. The greatest thing about learning is that I actually feel like I'm learning the language. I'm recalling words and phrases and was even able to order myself sushi comfortably.
I have been extremely impressed with the Rocket Japanese course. I do know I have a long way to go but I promise you, that if you put in the effort and time you will succeed at this.
I've been looking for learning programs for months now, and Rocket Languages has been the easiest to use and learn from. I was able to speak and understand words and phrases almost immediately. Unlike other programs, this one has actually made it easy to learn to also read and write in the target language. I can't recommend this program strongly enough.
Compared with the course I was using previously, Rocket Japanese is first rate. The other one gave no grammar info, only said right or wrong (you had to figure out how to correct something that contained an error) and got worse the more advanced you got. I have been using RJ only a few days, but feel that I am progressing much faster. No complaints so far.
I just signed up and started learning Japanese about a week ago and really love the tutorials. Listening to the pronunciations and then recording and grading how you speak it is brilliant. Wasn't sure I'd be able to learn Japanese, but since I started this it has really made things easier. Immerse yourself as much as you can. It works!!
I could not be more pleased with a language learning program! Rocket Japanese is comprehensive, detailed and easy to follow! I have been struggling to study Japanese for years, but now I have a clear goals and the tools necessary to meet them. Rocket Japanese has given me new inspiration and passion to study Japanese. I highly recommend this program to anyone and everyone looking to learn a new language.
With a hungry passion to learn japanese for years I started off using only duo lingo pro. I quickly discovered I was going to need more than Duo if i really wanted to learn Japanese in a year. I downloaded a few more apps and I was burning through them as well, but still discovered I needed more to satisfy my hunger. Why? Because though these apps were good i was constantly questioning grammer and how i was being taught. I searched online and discovered rocketjapanese, but the price made me raise a eyebrow. At first I wasn't even going to try it, but I really wanted to learn japanese so i decided to give it a shot. I used the trial and knew right away this was what I needed. I bought it and have been using it everyday for at least 2-3 hours while still staying up on my duo and other apps if I even still have time. The fact i get to speak, speak with, and be spoke at while learning was beautiful to me. Sounds crazy, but i will actually look at a object and away from the screen on talking parts to make it feel more realistic when practicing. This is great, but i feel like should only be purchased/used by people who truly want to learn the language because though i'm a rookie at speaking japanese even I know consistency is probably the biggest factor into learning. It's worth every penny and you'll see if you decide to get it with all the lessons you'll probably go "wow, this is going to take some time" but it's totally worth it, if you're dedicated and motivated.
I Really enjoy how the lessons are set up, and they are really easy to repeat if you need some extra help with certain lessons, its something easy and fun to do. I think its really going to help my comprehension of the Japanese language.
I’ve been wanting to learn Japanese for a while now. I’ve tried trial versions ofDuolingo, Rosetta Stone, and others. Rocket Language has provided great instruction and explainations so far. (Lesson 1.4)
Assuming that I can stick with it and get some friends and family to learn with me I intend to purchase the other two modules.
I am hoping that within a year of this program I will be able to Speak Japanese to my co workers. Its much better than Rosetta Stone. I just wish this program explained at very beginning why certain words are used in the sentence like ga, wa, no, imasu, desu and masu so it can be applied instead of just memorized.

We agree! There is a new lesson on this topic being created. It will be added to the course soon!
Very helpful Customer Service and the course is better then the tour indicated!!!! After the first few lessons I was more impressed than I thought I would be and more comfortable with the lessons (Japanese).
