Hanashi is a language learning app built around real speaking practice, not boring study. Instead of spending most of your time on flashcards, grammar drills, or reading exercises, Hanashi gets you using the language in real conversation from the beginning. Whether you are learning Japanese, Korean, Chinese, English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Arabic, Hanashi is the only app that will get you actually speaking the language. Hanashi's method is simple: 1. Find your level and goals. Hanashi starts by learning where you are now, how confident you feel, and what you want to achieve. 2. Learn through guided speaking lessons. Hanashi lessons are designed to actually teach, not just test. Your tutor introduces useful words, phrases, and sentence patterns, explains them clearly, and then gets you to use them yourself. You learn by speaking, responding, and building confidence one step at a time. 3. Get feedback while you practice. As you speak, Hanashi gives real-time help so you can adjust and improve as you go. Your tutor adapts to your level, keeps explanations clear, and helps you sound more natural. 4. Use what you learned in a real life scenario. After learning key ideas in a lesson, you put them into action in a real world roleplay scenario. Hanashi helps turn study into usable speaking ability. 5. Keep improving with structured progress. Hanashi gives you guided progression, and speaking practice that grows with you over time. Whether you are an absolute beginner or already conversational, the experience is designed to keep moving you toward real fluency and confidence. Why learners use Hanashi: - Real speaking practice instead of boring study - Guided lessons that teach and check understanding - Adaptive tutoring based on your level - Immersive roleplay and conversation scenarios - Instant feedback to help you improve naturally - A speaking-first approach built for real-life use Hanashi is especially strong for learners who want to stop freezing when it is time to speak. If you struggle to actually use the language in conversation, Hanashi is built for you. Whether you are learning Japanese, starting Korean, improving Chinese, or practicing any of our supported languages, Hanashi helps you move from understanding the language to actually speaking it. A subscription is required to unlock the full Hanashi experience.

It’s really good

Ice to the spice
I love everything about it. It thought me a lot in one day but I really hate how it cost a lot after one chat. Can you at least make it free for a month? And then start paying or some things are free and the rest cost money

Horrible

first of all, i started off saying i new nothing, because im interested in learning japanese, and it didn’t even teach me what a word meant, it straight up just gives you japanese sentences to say without even teaching you what the WORDS are. second of all, you have to PAY to speak japanese to it, and 15$ a MONTH is CRAZY!!! i can literally learn it on duolingo for less than that. this app is horrible. i’ve learned nothing. i won’t be ever. don’t get it.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry the app didn’t meet your expectations.Hanashi is designed to focus on speaking practice and real conversation, rather than traditional word-by-word lessons. That approach works well for some learners, but we understand it can feel confusing or frustrating if you’re starting from zero and expecting structured vocabulary explanations.We appreciate the honest feedback and will keep improving the beginner experience. Thanks again for giving Hanashi a try.

Disappointed

I was excited to use this app since I wanted to focus my practice on speaking and listening. But after 1 lesson it charges you. Everything is stuck behind the paywall and you don’t even get to test out the app fully to see if you really like it. The $15 monthly subscription is way too expensive. Paying isn’t the issue, the high price is.

Developer Response
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Hanashi is focused on real speaking practice with AI, which unfortunately isn’t free for us to run — every conversation uses live voice processing and feedback systems behind the scenes.We try to keep the price lower than a single tutoring session, while giving learners unlimited speaking practice anytime. That said, we know pricing is subjective and won’t feel right for everyone, and we genuinely appreciate you giving it a try.

No trial

No trial and uses AI for your performance idea is great. But at $15 a month it’s a bit price gouging without giving you an idea of what you’re paying for. Also shady tactics of doing a couple of lessons before actually giving you the pricing
