About SoraSpeak

Making confident Japanese speaking accessible to everyone

JLPT can certify you to N2 without you ever having spoken a sentence out loud. Most learners cannot afford a tutor, and the fear of getting it wrong keeps them silent. We are changing that.

Our mission

Speaking Japanese shouldn't require courage

A private Japanese tutor costs $30–80 per hour. For most learners, that's out of reach. And even when they can practice, the fear of being judged keeps them silent.

SoraSpeak exists to remove both barriers. Our AI teachers are available 24/7, never judge, and adapt to every learner's level. Whether you're preparing for a meeting or just want to sound more natural — we're here.
