Rocket Japanese | Learn Japanese language online
Wednesday, December 5th, 2007Konichiwa!
Japanese is considered a difficult language to learn. This is particularly true for native speakers of English because Japanese is fundamentally different from European languages.
This is where Rocket Japanese comes into the picture. As with the other Rocket Language products, Rocket Japanese is broken into six components:
- An interactive audio course (14 hours)
- Illustrated grammar lessons, cultural notes, written Japanese
- “MegaVocab” software game
- “MegaAudio” audio recognition game (recognise spoken words)
- “MegaHiragana” Learning Game (Hiragana character set)
- Japanese Learner’s Forum (online learning)
My impressions:
The audio course is broken into 25 minute units that allow you to achieve your goals in your own time, whether on the way to work or during your lunch breaks. The software games represent an important part for reading, writing and of cause grammar. To get the full benefit of Rocket Japanese you need to use both the audio and software components daily, if you combine this with the member forum, you have a very strong combination for learning.
This is a modern approach to Japanese language that is easy and fun. The audio is clear and well structured, it manages to put the listener in many realistic situations. The cultural aspects are very helpful. The grammar is thoroughly covered in the games and the members forum is very friendly with lots of other like-minded people to keep you motivated.
