Go beyond the streak. Master the real world. Have you ever hit a 1,000-day streak on a language app only to realize you still can’t order a coffee in Madrid? Most apps teach you how to play a game; Polyglotty teaches you how to speak a language. Standard language apps rely on repetitive drills and "canned" sentences. When you move to real conversations, they fall apart. ChatGPT is great, but it forgets your progress the moment you close the chat. Polyglotty is the first AI language tutor with a Persistent Mistake Profile. - It Remembers: Our AI tracks every grammar slip and vocabulary gap. It doesn't just correct you once; it builds a custom "Mistake Profile" to help you fix recurring errors forever. - Contextual Lessons: Instead of random sentences, get native-level feedback on the things you actually want to say. - Real-World Scenarios: Use our "Inspire Me" feature to roleplay everything from a tech job interview to a first date or a police interaction. - Low Stakes, High Reward: No social anxiety, no expensive tutors. Just a safe space to fail until you’re ready for the real world. Features: - Support for 23+ languages (Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and more). - Deep grammar explanations on the fly. - Adaptive learning that evolves as you improve. - Simple, distraction-free interface. Stop translating "The cat is blue" and start speaking for real. Terms of Use: https://www.polyglotty.io/terms

Understand Japanese sentences — not just the words, but the grammar. Paste a sentence and get a context-aware translation, word breakdown, grammar notes, and JLPT level estimate in seconds. Wakatta! is an AI-powered Japanese sentence analyzer built for learners who want to understand how Japanese works. Paste Japanese text from manga, anime subtitles, news articles, song lyrics, or everyday conversation. Wakatta! instantly analyzes the sentence and provides the translation, vocabulary, and grammar breakdown in one clean view. You don’t have to bounce between a translator, dictionary, and grammar guide anymore. What you get for each analysis: ▶ Full English translation: Natural, context-aware translations. Not robotic word-for-word output, but fluent English that captures the real meaning. ▶ Word-by-word breakdown: Every word displayed with furigana readings, English meaning, and part of speech. See exactly how each word contributes to the sentence. ▶ Grammar pattern explanations: Wakatta! identifies grammar structures and explains them clearly. Confused by particles like wa, ga, or wo? Wondering when to use te-form? The sentence analyzer breaks it down. ▶ JLPT level tags: Every grammar point is tagged with its JLPT level from N5 (beginner) to N1 (advanced). Know exactly where each pattern falls in your Japanese learning journey. Accepts any Japanese input format: Type or paste Japanese in any form: hiragana, katakana, kanji, or even romaji using English letters. Don’t have a Japanese keyboard? No problem. Enter “watashi wa nihongo wo benkyou shiteimasu” and Wakatta! will analyze it just like the full Japanese sentence with kanji. Most Japanese learning apps require proper Japanese input. Wakatta! is different: romaji works perfectly, making it accessible for complete beginners who are just starting to learn Japanese. Who Wakatta! is for: • JLPT learners (N5 to N1) using real sentences as study material • Manga and anime fans who want to understand dialogue without guessing • Self-study learners who want the “why”, not just the meaning • Students supplementing textbooks with real-world Japanese Why it’s different: Most translation apps stop at the meaning. Most dictionary apps stop at definitions. Wakatta! goes further and shows the sentence structure — words, grammar, and level — so you actually learn from what you read. Wakatta?
