Rocket Japanese (Official Site)

Rocket Japanese is my favorite study book that fits all personal study needs perfectly. At first, the price is only 100 bucks, but the quality is much worthy. This course covers from beginner level to advance level with all necessary culture notes. It is unlike traditional teaching tools which allowed you to download it to PC. More conveniently, you can even download all audio courses from the PC to a mini Mp3 player, carry on personal study whenever you like.

This dynamic course could enable you to learn Japanese rapidly, effectively, and easily. You will master general topics in everyday life right way, such as speak at a restaurant, at a train station, with new friends, ask for help or directions... basically every situation you can imagine in a foreign country.

Comprehensive interactive audio courses give you confidence to speak in Japanese naturally and fluently in 8 weeks. Detailed grammar lessons and examples plus invaluable cultural notes let you adapt the natural way to speak like native Japanese. Additionally, 3 more learning game software provide a lot of fun along to remember over 1000 useful vocabularies, recognize the sound of tons of Japanese words, and even writing in Japanese characters.

If you aim to do well in reading and writing, then you shouldn’t miss the MegaHiragana software. This specially designed study tool will leads students to high standard. Hiragana is the character to represent the sounds of the Japanese language, and is essential to the writing system. Though MegaHiragana I easily recognize and memorize writing completely painless.

Therefore I strongly recommended the incredible Rocket Japanese to everyone want to be bilingual in Japanese. It is just easy to master Japanese!

Rosetta Stone Japanese Review

Rosetta Stone Japanese

Rosetta Stone Japanese is an award-winning program that ever used by NASA and the Peace Corps. This powerful 2-CD set of learning courses satisfy your study needs and imparts a strong foundation in Japanese.

This program initially starts from apple, boy, girl and basic words through pictures of objects. The immersion approach helps you learn vocabularies and pronunciation easily and fast (if you like the learning style). You can practice all listening, reading and speaking exercises by attach headphones or microphone to your PC. Of course, the study procedure require certain time sit in front the computer, basic knowledge of using PC and software, steady eyesight can tolerate long hours of watching monitor. I am quite disappointed that I couldn’t access the CD other than computer.

However, I suggest that you should have additional books or sources to gain basic understanding of the language because there is no English in the program. Furthermore, this course didn’t explain well the difference of certain important words, such as “mother” – in Japanese the words of mother is different to your mother or someone’s mother. So I think this product is seriously over priced for the quality.

If you get Rosetta Stone Japanese (which you shouldn't) you shall absolutely need additional sources to guide you learn better. Thus why do you spend more money and effort instead of make Rocket Japanese as your first choice?

Pimsleur Japanese Review

Pimsleur Japanese

The Pimsleur language course was designed by Dr Pimsleur and first published in 1999. It’s quite long ago so you’d better limited your exception. Although it was the best study program, and till now is also popular.

The current 3rd edition of Pimsleur audio book come in three level, and each book cost you over 300 plus. The book includes 30 lessons of essential grammar and vocabulary to help you able communicate in simple topics, for instance, car, money, direction, time, date, numbers and not much.

When I finished level one, I already quite fired up with the book. The book is very basic in communication, less choice of topics, and few hundreds of vocabularies. Personally, I feel this course is easy to lean but too basic to someone serious want to master Japanese.

If money is not a problem to you, and you just want the basic, then it is right for you!

What level do you wan to achieve in your Japanese study journey? Aim your goal and choose the right learning program! All the Best!
