Speak Japanese out loud in the places you actually go. Konbini Legends drops you into everyday scenes in Japan, at the konbini, the ward office counter, the clinic, the izakaya, and you talk your way through them in Japanese. Your conversation partner listens and answers back, so you rehearse the real exchange before you have it for real. You've been in Japan for years. You still point at menus. You nod along and hope nobody asks you a question. Konbini Legends is Japanese for people who live here, not for tourists. SPEAK, DON'T JUST TAP • 26 speaking scenes from daily life: the konbini, the supermarket, the station, the ward office, the bank, the clinic, the dentist, the pharmacy, the izakaya, the phone shop, the hair salon and more. • Help while you speak: hints and English glosses for every line, and you can ask your partner to repeat or slow down. • A review at the end of every scene, with a retry for any step. • Chat partners: 6 characters, from a strict sensei to a casual friend, plus free conversation. LEARN WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS • City hall: residence cards, health insurance, tax paperwork. • Izakaya: order like a regular and finally know what you're eating. • Work: calling in sick, asking to leave early, meeting phrases and work emails. • Dating and social: first dates without a translation app. • Grammar, vocabulary and kanji lessons organized by JLPT level, N5 to N1, plus JLPT-style practice tests. • Stuck on a grammar point? Ask a question right in the lesson. REMEMBER IT • Spaced-repetition decks for vocabulary, kanji and grammar, with audio. • Animated kanji stroke order. • Listening practice. ZERO GUILT • An optional shift streak with paid leave. Miss a day and nobody lectures you. • Reminders are optional. Questions? support@konbinilegends.com ## Is Konbini Legends safe?
