Can read Japanese but freeze when you speak? Talk it out loud with an AI partner on your drive or commute — no one listening, no embarrassment.
Speak Japanese out loud — on the drive, the commute, the walk home — with an AI conversation partner who never judges.
Japan Cat is a speaking-first Japanese app. You talk, it answers in natural Japanese at your level, corrects your sentence, explains why, and asks the next question. Turn on hands-free driving mode and the whole conversation happens by voice.
HANDS-FREE DRIVING MODE
• Rotate your phone to landscape for a voice-only conversation with large controls
• The screen stays awake and audio plays through your car's Bluetooth
• Set it up before you drive, keep your eyes on the road — it works like a phone call on speaker
• Also great on the train, on a walk or at the gym
NO EMBARRASSMENT
Speaking to a tutor or a language-exchange partner can be nerve-racking. Japan Cat is an AI: make the same mistake ten times, restart every sentence, and nobody is watching.
REAL CONVERSATION PRACTICE
• Talk about your day, or practise scenarios: restaurants, hotels, shopping, job interviews, meetings
• Stuck? Answer in English, Cantonese or Mandarin and see how to say it in Japanese
• Every reply shown with furigana
• Specific corrections of your own sentences, with grammar notes
THREE PARTNERS, THREE STYLES
• Aiko — gentle and patient
• Ren — a casual, fun friend
• Keiko — a strict tutor who corrects every sentence
LEVELS FOR EVERYONE
