I love gaijinmode, it's not just AI, it's an experience. The characters have memories which make me want to get to know them better!

I love how interactive it is, almost mimicking real interaction (only without the feeling of silent awkwardness when I'm trying to think what to say!)
Danica

After moving it's been so helpful to be able to practice more natural conversations!

I like the app gives daily life situations where you can apply what you have learned and even broaden your vocabulary for new conversations.

I really loved the website, especially the study room and the scenarios. Scenarios like the airport and convenience store put you in actual speaking tests.

We've designed the game to allow you to engage in real conversation topics from Day 1 of learning.
Not yet! We're focused on making Japanese learning awesome. Gotta stay true to our name… for now 🇯🇵.
