Yuyap drops you into a city and makes you talk your way out. You land in Tokyo. Someone says something to you. The line you need is on screen — the words, what each one means, how to say it. You hold the mic and say it out loud. They answer. You keep going. That is the whole app. No flashcards. No grammar tables. No streak nagging. SIX CITIES, SIX PEOPLE TO MEET Japanese in Tokyo, with Aoi Spanish in Mexico City, with Mateo French in Paris, with Léa Korean in Seoul, with Hayun Vietnamese in Hanoi, with Linh Chinese in Beijing, with Yueyue 22 STOPS PER CITY Immigration. The konbini. The drugstore. Losing your bag. A tea ceremony. Making friends at the izakaya. Real situations, in the order a real trip happens — not a word list. EVERY WORD YOU SAY, SCORED Say your line and Yuyap scores each word out of 100, so you know which sound to fix instead of guessing. YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING Every line breaks into pieces on screen: the native script, how to read it out loud, and what each piece means. Beginners never freeze. THE RIGHT WORDS FOR THE RIGHT PERSON Yuyap teaches you to speak politely to a stranger and casually to a friend — and tells you which one you are in, and why. Most apps teach one register and let you sound wrong. HAVE A REAL CONVERSATION When you are ready, Talk is a live, unscripted conversation with the person who has been showing you around. Five minutes a day are free; unlimited comes with the higher tier. THEN GO PLAY Three arcade games built from the words you just met: tap them before they land, name them by ear, or say them out loud to blast them. Your first scene is free. No signup. SUBSCRIPTION One plan covers all six languages, with a 7-day free trial. Live voice conversation is a higher tier. The price is shown in the app before you subscribe, and you can cancel anytime in Settings.
