  • Get ready for daily life in Japan.

    This series of lessons helps to prepare you for everyday life in Japan, so that you can hit the ground running when you arrive! There aren't any grammar explanations to worry about: the focus is on getting you ready for the kinds of things that people will actually say in real-life scenarios - and what you should say in return!

  • Practice on-the-spot speaking.

    Even though you already speak some Japanese, you may still get nervous when it comes time to talk to a native speaker in day-to-day life. We've got the perfect activity to help with this. It lets you practice both sides of practical conversations in a comfortable, stress-free environment, so that you're ready to respond when you're out in the real world.

  • Take a deep dive into parts of Japanese culture.

    Understanding Japanese culture is a big part of speaking Japanese and getting around in Japan. Each of the lessons in this series provides you with cultural insights so that you know what to expect even before you arrive!

Lesson List
  • Expand your vocabulary.

    Improving your vocabulary is an important part of boosting your conversation skills. That's why each lesson in the Play the Part series comes with a specially selected list of words and phrases related to the lesson's topic, allowing you to expand both what you can say and what you can understand.

  • Polish your pronunciation.

    If you perfect your pronunciation, you can really blend in among native speakers. That's why this series contains hundreds of new phrases equipped with our state-of-the-art voice recognition tool, training you to speak just like the locals do!

  • Fine-tune your listening ability.

    Native Japanese speakers can sometimes speak very quickly, which means that you may still have trouble understanding what they're saying at times. The different scenarios in the Play the Part series provide you with real-world conversations spoken at a native-like speed, so you can really fine-tune your ear to the language.

Audio Player
    • Remember what you cover.

      You'll put a lot of time into furthering your Japanese, so we make sure you can remember it all by including fun and engaging activities in every lesson of this series. These activities use algorithms to identify where you're having trouble and help you practice problematic words and phrases until they stick.

    • Stay on track and stay inspired.

      Motivation is key to stepping up your Japanese, so we make sure to provide you with a wide array of motivational tools and techniques. They'll keep your interest up and your focus sharp so you can meet your goals and make better progress.

    • Have lifetime access to your course.

      The Japanese language can be yours for life, and we believe your Japanese course should be too. With the Rocket Japanese Play the Part series, you can come back in a month, a year or even a decade and still have full access to your course. You'll also get all of the updates and improvements that we make for free!

It's been years since I've had a formal Japanese course, and was never near any level of conversational proficiency. I've tried other methods and courses to try and brush up on the language, but nothing seemed to stick. Though I'm only through the first lesson, it seems like this might be what can get me being conversational!

I love Rocket Japanese!

I've been studying Japanese for a few years now and the biggest problem I always had was that I had to keep switching between several different books, audio CDs, and computer courses in order to get a FULL education.

It was incredibly frustrating when I would finish a book or course and not feel like I...

Each lesson is fun and the cast of different instructors across the courses make it enjoyable to learn the language, which is a great help especially if you have a busy lifestyle. It's great how t...

I've tried out many apps to learn Japanese, and no matter how many I tried, I always come back to Rocket Languages!

Unlike many other apps, once you get Rocket Japanese your membership is lifelong, no need to update your subscription. That's a really worthwhile investment. Ah, and of course their learning method and organization of studi...
