Japanese is the de facto official language of Japan, which is the only country to have Japanese as an official working language. The Japanese language is spoken by over 130 million people, in Japan and Japanese emigrant communities around the world.

Although Japanese is spoken almost exclusively in Japan, it has been and is still sometimes spoken elsewhere. When Japan occupied Korea, Taiwan, parts of the Chinese mainland, and various Pacific islands during and before World War II, locals in those countries were forced to learn Japanese in empire-building programs. As a result, there were many people in these countries until the 1970s, who could speak Japanese in addition to the local languages. Japanese emigrant communities (the largest of which are to be found in Brazil) frequently employ Japanese as their primary language. Japanese emigrants can also be found in Peru, Argentina, Australia (especially Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne), and the United States (notably California and Hawaii). There is also a small emigrant community in Davao, Philippines where a lot of Filipinos of Japanese descent live, as well as some in Laguna, Philippines. There are estimated to be several million non-Japanese studying the language as well; many schools, both primary and secondary, offer courses.

Rosetta Stone's Dynamic Immersion method reconnects people to the language skills they used successfully to master their first language. With Rosetta Stone, you start from a position of strength-your own strength.

Learn a Foreign Language through Context
Rosetta Stone presents a carefully chosen selection of four images and asks you to select the image that matches the written text and the voices of native speakers. Building on the knowledge you've already gained and your intuitive grasp of the meaning of each picture, you make a choice. There's absolutely no translation or memorization to hold you back, so you start making progress immediately.

Immediate Reinforcement
The very second you complete a task, Rosetta Stone provides feedback. Speak a word and our unique voiceprint technology automatically rates your pronunciation. Connect an image with a phrase and you'll immediately learn if your choice was correct. Complete a set of exercises and you'll instantly know how well you did. With Rosetta Stone, you always know where you stand.

Systematic Sequence
Dynamic Immersion& is a continuous process. The Rosetta Stone curriculum is carefully sequenced, gradually incorporating new words, phrases, and more complex grammar as it reinforces existing learning. Your understanding of your new language grows naturally.

The Rosetta Stone Japanese Language Learning CD-ROM is backed by an unconditional six-month guarantee. If you're not satisfied with the progress you're making, they'll return your money, no questions asked.

You will frequently see Google ads on this site that say you can get a copy of the Rosetta Stone Japanese Language Learning Software for free. As we all know, there is no such thing as a free lunch! Read the fine print and you will find that in order to get your copy you must exactly perform a set of responses to a series of advertising offers, which includes the requirement to purchase other products and or subscribe to paid services. Only after the advertisers have notified the company that you have satisfied all the requirements of their offers, will the software be sent to you. In effect you end up having to pay for it indirectly and get a lot of other junk in the process. In addition you provide your name and mailing address which will be made available to a number of mailing lists from which you will receive tons of junk mail. Click the link "Program Requirements" at the bottom of their page for the fine print details. My recommendation is don't fall for it!
