About this app

Hi, I'm Chin. I live in Japan, and I study Japanese every day.

This app is my study diary. Each scene comes from something I really had to do here: a call to the ward office, a visit to the clinic, a chat at the shop counter. I rewrite it so anyone can use it, record the voices, and rehearse it until the words come without thinking.

I'm sharing it because textbooks rarely prepare you for these moments. If you live in Japan, or you're about to move here, I hope it helps you walk into your next call or counter visit a little more ready.

It's free, and new scenes keep coming as my life here goes on.

What's inside

  • Scenes: listen to a real conversation, read it, then rehearse your part out loud.
  • Review: flashcards for the words and lines you want to keep.
  • Trend and Night: a short news read and an evening review.
