"Teacher, listen to what happened today." Imagine having a conversation partner who is always ready to listen, patient when you search for words, and genuinely excited when you realize, "I actually said it." ■ Talk about anything with your teachers Choose a teacher with their own distinct personality and start speaking out loud right away. There is no need to book sessions in advance. Chat about your daily life, your favorite movies, or places you want to visit. Teachers remember what you talked about before, so you can pick up right where you left off. They automatically adjust their speaking speed to your level. If you are just starting out, you can begin with a single short sentence. When learning Japanese, your teacher Nathan speaks Japanese with you. ■ Natural real-time corrections Based on what you just said, your teacher shows you a more natural way to put it. You receive clear translations and spoken audio, letting you practice saying the phrase again right away. ■ Put your phone down with Hands-free mode Turn on Hands-free mode in your settings, set your phone on your desk, and just talk. You do not need to press or hold the microphone button while speaking. Tap the microphone icon whenever you want to mute. This feature is turned off by default. ■ Practice real-world role-plays Step into realistic situations such as ordering food at a cafe while traveling or handling workplace discussions. You can listen to sample conversations first to build confidence before practicing with your teacher. ■ Adventure quizzes and audio review When you cannot talk out loud, such as on a train, jump into Adventure. Learn useful phrases through quizzes with pictures and audio. Save expressions to your phrase book, add phrases from a photo of a textbook or handout, review weak or forgotten phrases, or launch a quiz battle directly from your saved list. Autoplay phrases across 7 speed settings from 0.5x to 3.0x, with background playback that continues even when your screen is locked. Check your progress with talk history, analysis, and a speaking level check, while dressing up your favorite characters. A home screen widget keeps your learning streak in view. ■ Courses for English speakers Learn Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Mandarin), Spanish, French, or German across dedicated courses: - Japanese: Everyday Life, Business, Travel, Study Abroad, Kids, JLPT - Korean: Everyday Life, Business, Travel, Study Abroad, Kids, TOPIK - Chinese: Everyday Life, Business, Travel, Study Abroad, Kids, HSK, AP Chinese - Spanish: Everyday Life, Business, Travel, Study Abroad, Kids, DELE, AP Spanish - French: Everyday Life, Business, Travel, Study Abroad, Kids, DELF/DALF, TEF/TCF Canada - German: Everyday Life, Business, Travel, Study Abroad, Kids, Goethe-Zertifikat ■ Sister app integration MotiSpi is made by Astran in Tokyo. The same account works in our sister vocabulary app, MotiTan: build words there, then say them out loud here. ■ Free to start MotiSpi is free to start. Some features include paid plans as well as usage and time limits. A Family plan is available, allowing parents to manage settings such as their child's use of the message board.
