Rocket Record allows you to listen to the way native speakers say hundreds of Japanese words and phrases. Then, you can record yourself and accurately compare your speech with that of the native speaker.
It really is a fantastic way to learn Japanese by increasing the amount of Japanese vocabulary you know, and at the same time massively improving your Japanese pronunciation and accent. Rocket Record is great for your confidence!
Virtually every Japanese word and phrase in these lessons uses our Rocket Record voice comparison technology to get your pronunciation sounding as close as possible to a native Japanese speaker.
Remember What You Have Learned
Most of our Japanese lessons take advantage of the testing section, which contains our exclusive testing tools. Testing contains a variety of components: listening, speaking, and writing, all scientifically designed to enhance your recall and understanding of spoken and written Japanese.
1. Listening
Training your ear for Japanese can be one of the things that Japanese learners find the hardest to master. That’s why we have a specially-designed Listening activity!
Here’s how it works. A randomly selected audio track from within each lesson is played. After listening to the track, you’re prompted to record yourself saying the word, compare the way you say it to the Japanese speaker, and rate how well you understand what the speaker was saying. A very powerful tool to tune your ear to spoken Japanese!

It's one thing being able to speak Japanese, but a whole other thing learning to write and read it!
Our Drawing activity is the self-testing tool that lets you put your kanji skills to the test and practice your writing. Just click "PLAY" to see an animation of the stroke order for each kanji character. Then, click "DRAW" and trace over the shadow in the right stroke order. A hint will appear after a few attempts to help you out, in case you get stuck.

3. Speaking
Now, all the training in the world won’t help you if someone is talking to you in Japanese and your mind freezes when it’s your turn to speak! That’s why we developed our Speaking activity, the self-testing tool that really puts you on the spot!
This pulls randomly selected 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!
