Rocket Japanese Premium
Here at Rocket Japanese we want to get you;
So, whether you're learning Japanese for personal development, to talk to friends or family, or for that trip you have planned, Rocket Japanese Premium is for you.
Exactly how will Rocket Japanese help you speak and understand Japanese in a fun way?
It's well known that the best way to learn something is by doing.
The backbone of Rocket Japanese Premium is the 31 repeatable audio lessons. Averaging 25 minutes in length, these lessons prompt you to speak Japanese out loud along with, and in response to, the fun native hosts.
Using a scientific process called 'chunking', Rocket Japanese breaks down every day Japanese conversations into small segments so your mind can more easily absorb and remember them. The chunking method means that you’ll be able to work on your conversational Japanese in the privacy of your own home and overcome your fear of saying the wrong thing.
And, because you can download all the audio lessons, you can use Rocket Japanese;
REMEMBER; Japanese-speaking people just love it when tourists and travelers speak Japanese to them!
Rocket Record is our voice comparison tool that lets you listen to hundreds of Japanese words and phrases. With Rocket Record you can record yourself and playback or overlay your audio with that of the native speaker.
This is a fantastic way to increase the amount of Japanese words and phrases you know and at the same time massively improve your pronunciation and accent!
Read what Rocket Languages member, Jim had to say about Rocket Record:
“...The instructions are clear and concise and Rocket Record is great for comparing my pronunciation to that of the native speaker's. It is great to watch your pronunciation improve with this part of the program… Well, I could go on forever, but I will stop here. I would just like to say "Thanks for a great product".” Jim
Check out this example...
IMPORTANT! To get full functionality with Rocket Record voice comparison you need to become a member by either purchasing or signing up for the free trial. Once you have done this you can download the Rocket Languages App and get full functionality!

IMPORTANT! You may get a pop-up that looks like this when you click the blue play button. For Rocket Record to work properly, you just right click on the pop-up and select "Settings". Then click "Allow", check the “Remember” box and then “Close”.
Rocket Record; the easy way to a perfect Japanese accent!
There are just 3 steps to dramatically improving your understanding of the Japanese language!
First, the 31 Language & Culture Lessons from Rocket Japanese Premium have made learning the ins and outs of the wonderful Japanese language as easy as it can be. Learn to understand exactly how Japanese works by exploring these lessons.
Designed to make it as easy as possible to absorb the 'dos' and 'don'ts' of the Japanese language, these lessons include;
"The program is wonderful since I have started it and am enjoying it very much and I understand more in the first two lessons than anything I have ever tried." John
Training your ear for Japanese can be one of the things that learners find the hardest to master.
With our testing tool, Hear it Say it!, a randomly selected audio track from the individual words and phrases within each lesson is played. After listening to this track you are prompted to record yourself, compare yourself to the Japanese speaker, and rate how well you understand what the speaker was saying. A very powerful tool to tune your ear to Japanese!
All the training in the world won’t help you if someone is talking to you in Japanese and your mind freezes when it is your turn to speak! That’s why we developed Know it!; our tool for really putting you on the spot!
Know it! randomly pulls English words and phrases out of each lesson and prompts you to record yourself saying the Japanese translation, compare yourself to the Japanese speaker, and then rate how well you did! You really need to know your stuff for this one but the benefits are huge in maximizing how quickly you can come up with the right thing to say when someone is speaking Japanese to you!
"After just two weeks all I can say is its Awesome! I honestly cannot believe I lost my fear of speaking 100%!" Kelly Scali USA
So there you have it, by working through the lessons and rating your progress with My Level, your understanding of the Japanese will grow quickly. And with the power of Rocket Record it’ll be fun too!
One of the fascinating things about the Japanese language is the beautiful characters that comprise their written language. To make your Japanese learning experience as complete as possible Rocket Japanese Premium also includes a Japanese Writing section, where you can:

At Rocket Japanese we understand that your time is precious, and language learning needs to fit into your lifestyle!
That’s why we have some key ways for you to cut your learning time in half and make your Japanese learning easy and enjoyable...
Use Progress Tracking and Lesson Recommendations to Get Your Best Learning Path...
Your Rocket Japanese Premium course comes with a personalized Dashboard that;
Of course you’re always free to choose for yourself what you wish to do based on your own learning goals. That flexibility is a key part of what makes Rocket Japanese great.
Sometimes you need a little support getting the most out of your learning, some techniques, tips and tricks to help you along. After-all everyone’s learning style is a little different. That’s why Rocket Japanese has a section full of Advanced Learning Techniques. By reading and implementing the suggestions in these articles and selecting the techniques that work for you, you can cut your learning time by up to 50%!
For example, it has been scientifically proven that if you set up a Japanese themed study area or room with lots of Japanese pictures, words, souvenirs, etc your recall will be significantly better. The rationale is that if you learn in a Japanese environment, your recall will be improved in a separate Japanese environment like Japan itself.
In many ways, learning a new language is like learning anything new in life...
You shouldn't be afraid to ask for help when you need it, and you should take the opportunity to share your experiences and enthusiasm with fellow learners.
When you learn Japanese with Rocket Japanese Premium, you'll have unlimited 24/7 lifetime online access to My Forum, the Rocket Japanese online space, where our team of;
We'll be with you every step of the way - it's just like having your own Japanese teacher, virtually "on call"!
We also have a members’ hotline for any technical issues that may arise. Members get preferential customer service as we want any issues resolved fast!
One thing we’ve heard over and over again is that language learning can be boring. In fact that’s the #1 reason that most people just give up.
At Rocket Japanese we want you to really enjoy your language learning journey. That’s why our course is conversation based. And we’re not talking about boring conversations about how ‘the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain’, not here. These are;
Now, it’s well documented that one of the key ways to retain information is to learn it in a context that’s enjoyable. The Rocket Japanese Premium Master Games are just the thing to get you learning Japanese words and phrases in a fun way.
Word-Master gets you understanding how the sounds made by Japanese speakers translate into letters and words on the page. That means you'll soon be able to take that information away and apply it to other Japanese words you hear and be able to write them too!
Phrase-Master goes a step further, by teaching you how the words fit together to formulate practical Japanese phrases. You'll quickly notice the patterns and conventions that apply when speaking and writing in Japanese, and be able to apply them to your regular Rocket Japanese learning.
My Badges is the Rocket Japanese Premium points system that empowers you to increase your learning status by completing key elements of the course. Just by using all the different features of the course you can move from being a Japanese Novice all the way through to a Guru and beyond... And each time you move up a level you get a new badge to display in your profile!
And for the competitive amongst you, keep an eye on the leaderboard to find out how you compare to other learners, of Japanese or across all the Rocket Languages.
“I just gotta say I really like the leaderboard. It's like the ultimate motivation tool for me because I have to find the balance between studying really hard and trying to accumulate points but I also have to make sure I'm not just rushing to get points”. Remcy
