Practice speaking Japanese out loud with corrections as you talk.Practice speaking Japanese out loud with an AI tutor that corrects you as you talk.
In action
Fluently is a Japanese speaking practice app: you learn Japanese with an AI tutor by talking out loud, and the tutor answers in Japanese and corrects grammar and phrasing as you go. Captions and corrections translate into your own language with a tap.
The correction, explained
楽しい (tanoshii) is an i-adjective, so it carries the past tense itself: 楽しかった (tanoshikatta). Add です (desu) to keep it polite; でした (deshita) goes with nouns and na-adjectives.

What the tutor does
Level check
A short check at the start, where you pick the Japanese words you know, estimates your level before the first conversation.
Speaking
You talk out loud and the tutor answers in Japanese, asks follow-up questions and keeps the conversation going on topics you choose.
Corrections
A grammar slip or an unnatural phrase gets a short correction card in the moment, with the rule explained in Japanese.
Translation
Captions and correction cards translate into your own language, and you can say a missing word in your language when you get stuck.
Review
Each session keeps what you said and the corrections, so you can go back over it before the next conversation.
Situations
The tutor talks about whatever you bring to it. These are situations learners often rehearse, with the kind of line you would say. They are conversation topics, not preset courses or modes in the app.
Ask about trains, order food and get help at stations without switching to English.
この電車は京都に止まりますか？Does this train stop at Kyoto?
おすすめは何ですか？What do you recommend?
Introduce yourself politely and keep the small talk going at a family dinner.
はじめまして、エミリーです。今日はお招きいただき、ありがとうございます。Nice to meet you, I’m Emily. Thank you for inviting me today.
Get through apartment hunting and paperwork at the ward office in your first months.
駅から歩いて10分以内の部屋を探しています。I’m looking for an apartment within a ten-minute walk of the station.
住所変更の手続きは、どの窓口ですか？Which counter handles address changes?
Give updates, ask people to explain again and follow meetings in polite Japanese.
資料は金曜日までにお送りします。I’ll send you the materials by Friday.
すみません、もう一度説明していただけますか？Sorry, could you explain that once more?
Install the app from the App Store or Google Play.
Pick Japanese as the language you are learning and set your own language for translations.
Answer a few questions and pick the Japanese words you know; the app estimates your level from them.
Choose how the tutor speaks and corrects you, create an account and start the conversation.
Installing the app and the level check are free. Conversations with the tutor are part of a Fluently subscription; when a trial is available, the app shows it before you pay.
Corrections come during the conversation, not after it. When a particle, verb ending or phrase is off, a short card shows the more natural Japanese while you keep talking; the explanation is written in Japanese, with a translate button for your own language.
In English, “like” is a verb that takes an object. 好き (suki) is a na-adjective, so the thing you like is marked with が (ga), not を (o).
If you get stuck, the tutor switches to simpler Japanese, offers a way to start your sentence and lets you say a missing word in your own language. Conversations get longer as you manage more.
Install the app, choose Japanese as the language you are learning and set your own language, then start talking. Each session is a spoken conversation in Japanese on a topic you choose: the tutor answers, asks follow-up questions and shows a correction card when a sentence has a grammar slip or sounds unnatural.
Yes, if you know a few basic phrases. The tutor simplifies its Japanese when you struggle, offers ways to start a sentence, and lets you say a missing word in your own language. Practice is spoken from the first session, so learners with no Japanese at all may find the first conversations demanding. Fluently is for speaking: it has no course for reading or writing kana and kanji.
Correction cards for grammar (particles, verb and adjective forms) and for phrasing a native speaker would say differently, plus suggestions for words you need. Each card has a short explanation in Japanese and a translate button, and the session notes keep the corrections for later. Pronunciation is not scored for Japanese: there is no pronunciation feedback during the conversation, and the pronunciation drills in the app cover English, Spanish, French and Hebrew.

Yes. Japanese practice with the AI tutor happens in the Fluently app for iPhone and Android. Use the App Store or Google Play links on this page to install it.
No. The practice is spoken: you listen to the tutor and answer out loud. Captions and correction cards are written in Japanese script, kanji and kana, and the translate button shows them in your own language. The app does not teach reading or writing, so learn them separately if you need them.
