Features & Capabilities

Japanese you'll actually use, for your daily Laifu (life).

Most apps drill you on grammar rules and word lists. Laifu teaches whole phrases real people say, so you can use them today. Whether you live in Japan, you're planning a trip, you're learning for someone you love, or you just love the language, this is built for you.

WHAT YOU GET

Over 1,000 real-life phrases Across 14 everyday categories: Food, Shopping, Sightseeing, Hotel, Airport & Transport, Convenience Store, Drinking & Nightlife, Small Talk, Casual Conversations, Dating & Romance, Compliments, Saying No Politely, Basics, and Trouble & Help.

A chat example for every single phrase Each phrase comes with a short chat-style dialogue, so you see exactly how it lands in a real back-and-forth, not floating on its own.

Hear it, in natural Japanese Tap any phrase or dialogue line to hear it spoken, with per-character voices and a slow mode for the tricky ones.

Say it out loud and get scored Practice your pronunciation by speaking each phrase. Laifu listens and scores how close you got, so you build the confidence to actually say it.

Play through real scenes 48 play-through scenarios put you in the moment: order at an izakaya, check into a hotel, grab something at the konbini, take a taxi. The characters talk back, and you handle the whole exchange.

User Reviews

I really wanted to love this app. I love the concept, I love the focus on speaking, I love the ability to focus in certain areas. All of that was great. Design seems very strong. A couple things that need to be improved: 1. No correction on what you are saying. I had the same phrase over and over… 75% right. No correction though. Nothing to point out what wasn’t right. 2. After a couple of listens to a phrase the speaker stops working and you can’t hear the phrases. I tried everything, nothing works. Add AirPods and the system can’t hear your pronunciation. Maybe this is all my phone, maybe. 3. The UI is good but confusing. Not easy (at least for me to navigate). Again, I wanted to love this app. It has amazing potential. Just needs some work.
