Japan Speak is your offline companion for real conversations in Japan.
Built around the 11 places you actually deal with on a trip — convenience stores, restaurants, stations, onsen and more — every phrase comes with English, Japanese, and a pronunciation guide. Tap "Show," and clear, large Japanese is ready for staff to read.
