Speak Japanese Out Loud: Karaoke Word-by-Word Pronunciation & Cadence Drill
Interactive spoken conversation practice and on-device pronunciation drill for Japanese (Tokyo Business & Keigo Polite Speech)—powered by Realtime Assistant on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Tapping vocabulary tiles in a gamified app never teaches you to hold a live conversation in Japanese. Realtime Assistant (id6770536523) combines live speech-to-speech roleplay, two-way translation across 58 languages, and on-device Karaoke readback that highlights each word as you pronounce it aloud.
