About this app

Start speaking Japanese today. Not after months of flashcards.

Kigaru Talks uses AI conversation technology to get you talking from your very first lesson. No endless drills. No waiting until you're "ready." Just real Japanese conversation practice that adapts to your level.

WHY KIGARU TALKS?

Most language apps make you memorize for months before your first real conversation. We flip that approach. You speak Japanese from Day 1, and our AI adapts every lesson to your progress.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

- Speaking-First Approach: Practice real conversations, not just flashcard recognition
- AI-Powered Personalization: Lessons adapt to your level, pace, and goals
- Day 1 Conversations: Start talking immediately, not after months of prep
- Real Japanese: Learn practical phrases for daily life, travel, and beyond

PERFECT FOR

- Expats living in Japan who want to finally understand daily conversations
- Travelers preparing for their Japan trip
- Anime and manga fans ready to go beyond subtitles
- Serious learners frustrated with gamified apps that don't build real skills

HOW IT WORKS

1. Open the app and start your first conversation within minutes
2. Our AI listens, responds, and guides you naturally
3. Get instant feedback on pronunciation and grammar
4. Watch your confidence grow as you practice daily

Join thousands of learners who chose speaking over studying.

Download Kigaru Talks and say your first Japanese words today.

I enjoy its communication style - its friendly but theres no fear of repercussions for failure (where as things like Duolingo you lose energy, get penalized for not learning good enough) I enjoy the way it gives me written language while also providing me the English phonetic transcription so I know how to sound it out. The UI is also user friendly - really enjoying it so far!

Cute onboarding. But the talk button is hard to press on my small phone, it's cut off a bit 😅 But 3k a month for a chatgpt api call? dude.

During the initial phase seemed to be great, once I got to the paid portion the sound stopped working. app became unusable after that.
