A laptop may be a notopasacon or nopa or some other shortened version that Japan accepts as normal, but none of them are conputaa. A PC in the desktop variety is likely a pasacon. There are several words for computer in modern popular use but none of them are conputaa. The word conputaa was wrong when I read it twenty years ago and has not become more correct since then. The same goes for the word for computer, which Rosetta Stone insists is the same katakana abomination as my college Japanese textbook. This is a problem because words like sumaho (smart phone) exist and can be super confusing when you've only been taught keitai (cell phone) which isn't really in popular use anymore. The pictures for the units have but not the words themselves. There I found issues with their vocabulary and conversation practice as it would sound if someone actually used those words in Japan.įirst, the vocabulary has clearly not been updated in a bit. Then I started jumping to the reviews at the end of the units. The first time I opened the app, I made the mistake of starting at the first lesson, which was painfully slow. Unless you really don't even have a basic working vocabulary in Japanese, Rosetta Stone's app will not be helpful. If you're in a similar situation, do something else. With this in mind, I chose to make use of a discount for a three month subscription to Rosetta Stone's app with the hopes that the language company's methods would help me gamify the process and get me back into studying regularly. Improving my Japanese level would be beneficial at work as I could better explain finer grammar points to kids who aren't getting it in English and have more consistent conversations with clients. Since I studied the language in college, I had a basic working knowledge when I arrived, but have only managed to add a little vocabulary and a couple of grammar points to that in all these years. One problem I have encountered within myself is a distinct lack of momentum in my studying practices regarding Japanese. Most of us accrue sets of daily use phrases over the course, of time even if we stepped off the plane with no understanding of the language whatsoever. For most foreigners living and working in Japan, speaking Japanese is usually at least a little important for daily life.
