1. **I made an AI language teacher to practice speaking Japanese.**

   *What do you think? What should I improve?*

   ✅  What you can do now:

   * Multilingual speech recognition: ask a question in English, get an answer in Japanese
   * Feedback on your grammar
   * Suggestions: get samples sentences to help you keep the conversation going
   * Speed: choose a lower speed (beginners) or a faster one (advanced levels)
   * Translations: click to see a translation of the Japanese into English (or other)
   * 3 situations to roleplay. At the coffee shop, ordering a taxi, at the bakery.

   🔮  What you might be able to do in the future:

   * Specifically for Japanese: choose the level of formality
   * Roleplay more situations
   * Use a “Creator mode” to design your own situation
   * Feedback on your pronunciation
   * Reply with text, too (type or click – would feel like a “Create Your Own Adventure” book)
   * A dictionary
   * Zoom in and repeat a sound to help you hear phonemes and words more clearly

   I’m doing this single-handedly (and #buildinpublic on Twitter). Been working on this for 8 months now (not always easy, but I love working on it!)

   The site got 289K visits the last 30 days. Japanese is a recent addition (studied it in highschool but got nothing left.)

   What do you think?

   ありがとう！ 🙏
