About

Sounds like English. Isn't. Japan speaks 1,000+ katakana words that look like English but mean something else entirely - "mansion" means an apartment, "claim" means a complaint. WaseiGo teaches the gap through illustrated conversations, native audio, and quizzes, in Japanese and English. NOT ANOTHER VOCABULARY LIST Every word is a small story: the mix-up, the real English, and why the gap exists. ILLUSTRATED CONVERSATIONS Each word comes with a watercolor scene and a short dialogue between Kenta and Emma - the misunderstanding happens, then the real English comes out naturally. HEAR EVERY LINE Native-quality audio for every dialogue line and every katakana pronunciation. Tap any bubble to listen. QUIZZES THAT STICK Three quiz types - meaning, reverse lookup, and illustration - plus review that prioritizes your misses, streaks, and progress tracking. LEARN IN BOTH DIRECTIONS English speakers learn how Japan really uses the word. Japanese speakers learn what to say instead. Same content, two directions. SIMPLE PRICING No subscription. No ads. Buy once, yours forever. Free: Try the first 50 words, full-featured (illustrated dialogues + audio, all quiz modes + review, no ads, no sign-up needed) Premium (one-time purchase): Unlock all 1,000+ words, quizzes & review across every word, all future words included Start with today's word. Two minutes a day is enough to stop saying "claim".
