“In Japan since three weeks ago. To prepare, I worked on a subset of Rocket Japanese Level 1 dialogues, and language and culture lessons, that focus on greetings; train, bus, taxi travel; food and drink; grocery and convenience stores; visiting cultural attractions, checking in at hotels. Plus reading and writing hiragana and katakana. With that, independent travel in Japan has been easy and fun. Hurrah for Rocket Japanese!” - Andrew S, Canada

  • Why Rocket Japanese Is Different: Speak, Think, and Understand Japanese

    You’ve already tried a few language courses, hoping they’d fit into your busy life and help you make real progress.

    But if you haven’t gotten the results you wanted, it’s not your fault.

    Many language courses are designed around keeping you hooked with streaks and games, where maintaining your progress feels more important than actually learning.

    Others rely on rote memorization of flashcards, which can be boring and not nearly as effective as you’d like.

    The Rocket Japanese system is totally different... Sure, you can use streaks and flashcards if that’s your thing, but the real value lies in its practical, easy-to-use approach that gets you speaking and understanding Japanese conversations in a way that makes you think in Japanese.

    It’s designed for someone like you—busy, eager to learn, and looking for real results.

  • It’s Never Too Late to Learn Japanese—And It’s Great for Your Brain

    You’ve probably heard the myth that it’s easier to learn a new language as a child. Many people believe that once you reach a certain age, language learning becomes harder, and this can add to the worry about getting older and staying mentally sharp.

    But the truth is, as an adult, you have a huge advantage. You can structure your learning to fit your personal style and busy schedule, and you understand the process better than ever before.

    And as we age, it’s been proven that learning a new language is one of the best ways to keep your brain sharp and avoid cognitive decline.

    So, while aging may be inevitable, the right tools can make all the difference.

    You want to get the most out of the time and effort you put into learning, which is why the Rocket Japanese system incorporates the same methods polyglots—people who speak several languages—use to efficiently learn and retain their languages.

    It’s designed to keep your brain active and engaged, so you’re not just learning a new language, but giving your mind the workout it needs to stay sharp.

"If you're anything like me, you've tried to learn Japanese with Duolingo and bounced off. Rocket Japanese is, in a lot of ways, almost a polar opposite. Instead of throwing a whole new alphabet at you immediately, Rocket Japanese starts with speaking exercises and lets you pick it up gradually. Instead of random computer-generated sentences, you get a coherent sequence of lessons where each one flows naturally into the next. Instead of having you guess important grammar rules, Rocket Japanese patiently explains them to you in an easy-to-understand way. The audio lessons in particular stand out -- they're fun and kind of kitschy in a way that made me feel nostalgic for high-school Spanish videotapes -- and you can try the first couple for free!" - Carter S, USA
"This is the first time I have tried to learn a language since high school 40 years ago. I am having so much fun, and it's easier than I thought it would be to learn a new language in my 50s. I look forward to 30 min with Rocket Japanese everyday andI feel that I would like to take Sayaka and Kenny out to a sushi restaurant to celebrate the joy that this course is giving me. Sugoi !!" -Macolm G, USA

“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 had learned very much that I could actually use. Then I found Rocket Japanese - Thank God!!! My two favorite things are that it covers ALL aspects of Japanese (speaking, listening, reading, writing, and culture) and also that there is an enormous amount of material. I invested in all three levels and it was the best decision I've ever made when it comes to learning Japanese. Bottom line is this: if you are truly serious about learning Japanese then you NEED Rocket Japanese. I highly recommend it to everyone who asks.” - Nick H, USA

"Rocket Languages is essential for anyone who is serious about learning a new language. The course is designed to help us start having real life conversations from the very first lesson. Instead of wasting time learning useless vocabulary, Rocket Languages teaches words and phrases that we are likely to use to everyday. So, if you want to immerse yourself in a new language, ditch those other language apps that are gimmicky and flash card based and instead invest in learning a new language with depth and understanding." - Mohit B, USA

“I could not be more pleased with a language learning program! Rocket Japanese is comprehensive, detailed and easy to follow! I have been struggling to study Japanese for years, but now I have clear goals and the tools necessary to meet them. Rocket Japanese has given me new inspiration and passion to study Japanese. I highly recommend this program to anyone and everyone looking to learn a new language.” - Caleb T, USA

No Risk to You - Our Gold Standard 60-Day Guarantee

With Rocket Languages, you’re not only getting the gold standard of language courses, but also the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re fully supported throughout your learning journey.

But if for any reason the course doesn’t live up to your expectations, or it just doesn’t fit your needs, we don’t want you to feel stuck or uncertain.

That’s why we offer a gold standard 60-day guarantee. Try your course for up to 60 days, and if it’s not everything you hoped for, simply email us for a full refund—no questions asked.

You Have 3 Options...

Option #1: Do nothing and stay exactly where you are. You’ll keep wanting to improve your Japanese, but without taking action, nothing will change.

Option #2: Go it alone. You can try various apps, attend classes, or pay for expensive one-on-one tutoring. You’ve probably already tried some of these and know how hard it can be to find something that fits your life and delivers real results.

Option #3: Let us do the heavy lifting for you. We’ve invested millions into building the Rocket Japanese system, and for a small price, you get access to all that expertise—for life! No more guessing, no more frustration—just real, practical progress at your own pace.

Of these 3 options, ask yourself: which one is going to make things easier for you?

No matter what you decide, we appreciate you taking the time to consider Rocket Japanese, and we wish you the best of luck on your Japanese learning journey!
