## What is SpeakNative Real?

When you need to speak Japanese, the hardest part is often not the vocabulary. It is knowing what the other person may say next and how to keep the conversation going.

SpeakNative AI does not stop at memorizing a single phrase. It turns real-life tasks in Japan into complete conversations you can listen to, study line by line, record, and practice through role-play.

From finding a home and visiting city hall to seeing a doctor, speaking at work, using a bank, traveling, or asking for help, you can practice the whole exchange before you need it.

【18 domains and 156 practical scenarios】

Practice Japanese for housing, municipal services, immigration, healthcare, work, school, shopping, dining, transport, travel, banking, utilities, delivery, neighbors, police and lost property, parenting, driving, and everyday services.

【Listen to the whole conversation, then study each line】

Start with your role, the person you are speaking with, the communication channel, and the intended outcome. Then listen to the complete dialogue and study the Japanese, readings, supporting Chinese or English translation, key vocabulary, patterns, and usage notes for each line.

【Speak instead of only reading the answer】

Play model audio, replay individual lines, record yourself, and compare your delivery. In role-play, listen to the other person first, then respond in Japanese as if the conversation were real.

【AI pronunciation assessment】

Review accuracy, fluency, completeness, and prosody, identify the words and phrases that need more practice, and compare the model audio with your own recording.

【Japanese grammar analysis】

Review sentence structure, key grammar, politeness, core vocabulary, and common mistakes. In version 2.0, AI grammar analysis is designed for Japanese sentences.

【Free practice】

Type or paste a Japanese sentence, scan it with the camera, or select a photo containing text. Then generate Japanese model audio, record and assess your pronunciation, or request a Japanese grammar analysis.

【No account required】

The interface supports Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and English. Learning progress, recordings, and downloaded content are stored on your device.

【Free access and purchases】

Two scenarios in every domain are free. A one-time purchase permanently unlocks all scenarios. AI voice generation, pronunciation assessment, and Japanese grammar analysis are available with fixed allowances through monthly or yearly AI practice plans. Scenario content and AI services are sold separately, so you can choose only what you need.

AI features, content updates, and first-time downloads require an internet connection.
