Sakuraspeak offers a unique, fun, and faster way to practice Japanese & Korean through conversations, designed for both language learners and travelers. “Speaking Japanese used to feel overwhelming whenever I needed to include specific details like dates, times, or numbers in a sentence. I’d get stuck halfway through and wasn’t sure how to connect everything properly. For instance, I wanted to say, ‘I’d like to make a dinner reservation for 2 people on Saturday at 6 pm,’ but I couldn’t figure out how to piece it all together. Thanks to Sakuraspeak, I was able to complete the sentence effortlessly. The app has been a lifesaver for those moments when I know part of what to say but need help to finish it confidently.” - Amanda D. “Your AI product is exactly the kind of thing that I've been hoping to find and to come to exist." - Thomas, Korean language learner for 20 years "So far I'm really liking the app. I've been using it to ask grammar questions and its been really useful. get to practice speaking and do some grammar study at the same time." - Crater “Before using Sakuraspeak, I struggled with speaking Japanese confidently because I wasn’t sure if I was making mistakes or using the right grammar. It was frustrating not knowing how to improve. With Sakuraspeak’s correction and explanation features, everything changed. The app not only points out my mistakes but also explains them clearly, so I can learn and avoid repeating them. Thanks to Sakuraspeak, I’m building confidence in speaking Japanese and making real progress every day!” - Benjamin Why Sakuraspeak?

About

2 Minds

Features
Read full description

2 Minds is a daily philosophy app. Each challenge is a real, recognised philosophical problem, told as a short story you can read with half your attention and cannot quite put down. You take a side. Then the other mind argues back, at full strength, three levels deep. At every turn you can hold your position or move, and the app never tells you which was right, because there is no right answer. Both sides of every question have living defenders, and you will meet the strongest version of each. What the app gives you instead of a verdict is a mirror. Over time, the way you answer reveals a temperament: whether you reach for principle, outcome, question, relation, choice or experience. There is no score and no label. The app itself changes to match, in colour and feel, so the interface becomes the readout. When your temperament shifts, you see it shift. Every argument is drawn from the philosophical canon and every challenge lists its sources, so you can follow any thread back to the thinkers who first pulled on it. Nothing is invented and nothing is generated. Your record stays on your device. Sign in only if you want it to follow you to another one. One challenge a day is free, alongside the starting set. 2 Minds Premium opens the whole library, every problem published so far and every one to come, for a year at a time.
