Konnichiwa! Rocket Japanese Premium Plus e yōkoso!
Watashitachi to isho ni nihongo wo tanoshiku benkyōshimashō!

We are proud to announce the launch of "Rocket Japanese Premium Plus!" - the ideal next step in your Japanese learning journey! This course also marks the audio debut of my colleagues Taro and Yoshiko, the newest additions to the Rocket Japanese team!

The 31 tracks in "Rocket Japanese Premium Plus!" are an average of 30 minutes in length - that's over 15 hours of audio lessons that you can listen to time and time again!

The course covers everything that you need to know to live, study, and work in a Japanese-speaking country or place, from getting directions to getting a job, from doing your banking to doing your best in a business meeting... or even simply just being able to hang out with your Japanese friends, understand their culture a little more, and connect with them on a better level! With "Rocket Japanese Premium Plus!" you'll be more than just a tourist: you'll find that you're able to fit right in!

Not only do you get the 31 audio lessons, you also get the transcripts of the conversations for each lesson in rōmaji, Japanese characters, and English. In addition, the transcripts provide extra vocabulary and expressions, plus question phrases and verb phrases for every lesson!

In addition, every Interactive Audio Course lesson has a corresponding Language and Culture lesson which include embedded audio clips, invaluable cultural notes and explanations on written Japanese.
As with all of our Rocket Languages courses, as a Rocket Japanese member you also get full access to the Japanese Learners' Forum, where you can find answers to all your burning questions about the Japanese language, or even answer some questions yourself!

More About "Rocket Japanese Premium Plus!"...

The 31 tracks in the Rocket Japanese Premium Plus course cover everything that you need to know to become part of a local Japanese-speaking community... Want to be able to talk about more than just what is happening and learn how to speak about what happened in the past? How about being able to communicate in practical situations like finding your way around an unfamiliar city? We'll do more than show you the way - we'll come along with you for the ride!

The "Rocket Japanese Premium Plus!" course is arranged according to seven themes or topics:

1) The Perfect Tourist
2) Getting Settled in Japan
3) When Things Go Wrong
4) Love and Marriage
5) As the Business World Turns
6) Celebration Times
7) Lifestyle

You simply can't get more practical than that! Every one of the lessons on these topics includes a conversation that you might hear spoken on a Japanese street or in a Japanese household today. You can't learn a language just by studying books. Languages are meant to be spoken. We've created a learning method designed to get you speaking Japanese by using it in the context of real everyday situations.

Our Interactive Audio Courses have already taught thousands of people to speak Japanese like a natural. Now it's your turn!

Introduction (Hajimeni) はじめに
	Audio Track 1 - Senshūmatsu (Last Weekend) せんしゅうまつ - 32 min: In this lesson, you're going to learn how to tell someone what you did over the weekend. Rather than just asking someone how they are and what's happening, you can ask them what they did with the most special part of every week... though, in Taro's case, it might be a whole lot of nothing! This is a great way to open a conversation, so we thought this topic would be a great way to open the course too!
The Perfect Tourist (Kanpeki na ryokōsha) かんぺきな　りょこうしゃ
	Audio Track 2 -Tabibanashi (Travel Talk) たびばなし - 27 min: When traveling you will almost certainly get asked a few questions again and again, like what you have seen so far, how long you've been in the country for and so on. This lesson will help you answer these questions with pitch perfect pronunciation and make everyone wonder - are you really a tourist??
	Audio Track 3 - Ikikata o kiku (Asking for Directions) いきかたを　きく - 33 min: We all know that getting lost is part of traveling. But let me tell you a little secret: when you're lost in Tokyo, you have a much better chance of getting directions from a smiling face when you can speak a little Japanese. In this lesson, you'll not only learn how to ask for directions, you'll be able to understand the reply! What was the Japanese word for "U-turn" again?
	Audio Track 4 - Mitsukaranai nimotsu (Lost Luggage) みつからない　にもつ - 30 min: Discover exactly what to say (and do) when faced with every traveler's nightmare! Here's what you need to know about tracking down your luggage, sorting your luggage insurance, and filling in those pesky forms - and all without losing your cool.
	Audio Track 5 - Hoteru no yoyaku o kyanseru suru (Canceling a hotel reservation) ホテルの　よやくを　キャンセルする - 38 min: We can all use a little change, that much is true. But when a change in travel plans forces you to change your accommodation plans, you'll save yourself some stress when you can do it the quick and easy way - and, yes, in Japanese! (But do take a hint from Taro, and just make sure you call the right hotel...)
Getting Settled in Japan (Nihon ni sumu) にほんに　すむ
	Audio Track 6 - Ginkō kōza o hiraku (Opening a Bank Account) ぎんこうこうざを　ひらく - 34 min: Opening a bank account in Japan can be tricky. But not when you have the team at Rocket Japanese helping you with your credentials.
	Audio Track 7 - Apāto sagashi (Finding an Apartment) アパートさがし - 31 min: In this incredibly practical lesson, Yoshiko discovers that there is much more to finding a flat in Japan than she thought... what will it be, Apāto or Manshon? We'll make sure your conversational powers are at their peak so you'll be able to talk your way into - and out of - any accommodation scenario.
	Audio Track 8 - Sumu tokoro (The Other Living Option) すむところ - 37 min: At the start of this lesson, Yoshiko has nearly given up on her house hunting mission. By the end of it, she is brimming with confidence after discovering another option. Similar to the way you will be brimming with confidence after you can understand her entire house hunting conversation with Taro in Japanese!
	Audio Track 9 - Jitensha o kau (Getting a Bike) じてんしゃを　かう - 33 min: In this lesson you will sharpen your Japanese-speaking survival skills with a trip to the bike shop. You will learn how to communicate in fine detail exactly what you're after, even if you're as picky as Yoshiko when it comes to big soft fluffy bike seats...
When Things Go Wrong (Komatta toki) こまったとき
	Audio Track 10 - Oishasan de (At the Doctor) おいしゃさんで - 36 min: Feeling lousy? Need some medicine or a prescription? Learn everything you need to know in case you ever have to visit a doctor in Japan... just remember to bring your insurance card!
	Audio Track 11 - Yakyoku de (At the Pharmacy) やっきょくで - 34 min: From capsules to strawberry flavored wafers, this lesson will give you a real insight into common Japanese medicine. Just open wide and say kusuri. There, that wasn't so bad was it?
	Audio Track 12 - Bakkin o morau (Getting a Fine) ばっきんを　もらう - 26 min: Beware. Yoshiko is in a dangerous mood. As we find out she has made a very small mistake and now has to pay a big fine. Find out how to state your case in the classic Japanese way (note: we can't promise that we'll get you out of a fine!)
	Audio Track 13 - Monku o iu (Making a Complaint) もんくを　いう - 28 min: Having to make a complaint is hard enough in your own language let alone in Japanese. We will teach you all the ins and outs of complaining while still being super polite, to the letter, as per Japanese culture.
Love and Marriage (Ai to Kekkon) あいと　けっこん
	Audio Track 14 - Hajimete no dēto (First Date) はじめての　デート - 29 min: Even though you might question Taro's choice of venue for this momentous first date, you sure won't question his style, as he says and does all the right things to endear himself to his female company. There are plenty of great new words and expressions to learn in this lesson, regardless of if and when you you'll be on the Japanese dating scene yourself!
	Audio Track 15 - Puropōzu (Proposing) プロポーズ - 28 min: That's right, we've always said that we move quickly around here, and now we've gone from a first date to a marriage proposal in the space of one lesson. Taro has found himself about to drop the question, and you have found yourself talking all about love.
	Audio Track 16 - Kekkon shiki no hi (The Wedding Day) けっこんしきの　ひ - 29 min: Today is the big day and there is so much to consider. But for now, compliments are traded between the betrothed - he in his smart hakama pants and she in her traditional Japanese gown... but wait a minute, what are those horns doing on her head?
	Audio Track 17 - Fūfu genka (The Argument) ふうふげんか - 33 min: Domestic chores are often the cause of arguments. After this lesson your Japanese conversational skills will enable you to avoid an argument at all costs, or win it at all costs! Your choice!!!
As the Business World Turns (Bijinesu no sekai de) ビジネスの　せかいで
	Audio Track 18 - Shigoto no mensetsu (Job Interview) しごとの　めんせつ - 31 min: This lesson will teach you how to answer those prickly interview questions and express your most attractive qualities. You'll become a great job candidate, and you may even get the stone-faced buchō to crack a smile in the process...
	Audio Track 19 - Shokuba de (At Work) しょくばで - 31 min: Now here's a topic we all can relate to... talking shop and looking forward to the 5 o'clock chime. Well, you may not wait for that chime, but Japanese workers sure do. In this lesson, along with learning lots more words and phrases on the topic of work, you'll find out more about Japanese work culture, and why that chime doesn't mean exactly what you'd think it would mean...
	Audio Track 20 - Dengon o nokosu (Leaving a Phone Message) でんごんを　のこす - 31 min: Learn how to answer the phone, how to leave a message, and how to ask for someone in Japanese, plus a uniquely Japanese way of remembering numbers. This is essential stuff...
	Audio Track 21 - Shigoto no kaigi (Business Meeting) しごとの　かいぎ - 32 min: How convenient... Taro and Yoshiko are taking part in an important Japanese business meeting that is chock-full of useful phrases and vocabulary for surviving any event of this kind! After we get through all the formalities - and there is plenty of it - we will see whether or not the big deal goes down...
Celebration Times (Oiwai) おいわい
	Audio Track 22 - Oshōgatsu (New Year's Day) おしょうがつ - 32 min: It's the time of the year when promises are made and, as we find out, quite easliy broken by Taro. We've got all the details for you in this special holiday lesson so you can join in the celebrations and the conversations!
	Audio Track 23 - Sakura no mannkai (Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom) さくらの　まんかい - 29 min: In this lesson we take in all the splendor of cherry blossoms and participate in one of the most glorious cultural events on the Japanese seasonal calendar.
	Audio Track 24 - Kisetsu hazure no nabe pātī (Off-season Nabe Party) きせつはずれの　なべパーティー - 33 min: Extreme weather calls for extreme measures - and in this lesson Yoshiko takes the unusual step of beating the heat by joining the heat. Learn how to do a nabe party in style in this lesson, whatever the temperature may be!
	Audio Track 25 - Bōnenkai (Forget-the-Year-Party) ぼうねんかい - 33 min: Yes, there have been a lot of parties lately, but this Rocket Japanese team is a festive bunch after all. In this lesson, you'll learn about a traditional annual party for the Japanese workplace and all the games that go with it.
Lifestyle (Nihon gurashi) にほんぐらし
	Audio Track 26 - Fuji Rokku Fesutibaru (Fuji Rock Festival) ふじロック　フェスティバル - 31 min: Rock? Classical music? Pop? Country? What do you prefer and why? Talk about your favorite bands and learn about one of the most popular Japanese music festivals along the way.
	Audio Track 27 - Nijyūnen mae (Twenty Years Ago) にじゅうねんまえ - 28 min: In this lesson, talking about your past becomes a breeze - as you learn how to talk about childhood memories by hearing Taro and Yoshiko relive some of their own.
	Audio Track 28 - Nijyūnen go (In Twenty Years) にじゅうねんご - 32 min: Fast forward and our Japanese duo are contemplating what may be... In this lesson you come up against two very different philosophies about the future, and find out how to express your own thoughts on the topic in Japanese.
	Audio Track 29 - Arigatō Sayonara ふくしゅうトラック - 33 min: Yoshiko's about to get more than she bargained for in this most musical grand finale lesson... and for that matter, so are you. One of the most popular and enduring songs in Japanese culture goes a cappela, gets performed, then taught, then performed again with some of the finest backing vocals a Rocket Japanese learner like you can offer!
Review Tracks (Fukushū Torakku) ふくしゅうトラック
	Audio Track 30 - All CONVERSATIONS Role-Play Track Zen Kaiwashū - Yakuwari o enzuru Torakku ぜん　かいわしゅう‐やくわりを　えんずる　トラック 1 Hour: In this super convenient track, we've assembled all of the conversations from the entire course into one streamlined lesson. What's more, you'll get a chance to play the role of Taro and Yoshiko, as you are given three versions of all the dialogues in the course. The first version will include both of their voices in the conversations as you heard them at the start and finish of each lesson. During these conversations, you can relax and immerse yourself in conversational Japanese. The second time around you will be hearing ONLY Yoshiko's voice, and you will have to speak during the pause and try to reply to her with Taro's line. The third time around you will hear ONLY Taro's voice, and you will have to play the part of Yoshiko. Don't worry, it's not cheating to peek at the written transcript if you prefer! ... As you'll discover, this track is the ultimate conversational tool!
	Audio Track 31 - All ROCKET REVIEWS Track Zen Roketto Fukushū Torakku ぜん　ロケットふくしゅう　トラック - 1 hour 10 min: As we're fond of saying here at Rocket Languages, you often have to go back to go forward. So whenever you're ready to go back to review the words and phrases you learned in each of the audio lessons, we've compiled all of the Rocket Reviews into one tidy track! Enjoy it!!
