Ponz is an AI Japanese conversation app where you share a story with your favorite character.
Choose someone you'd like to get to know, and start a Japanese chat with you as the main character.
“What could I say to make them smile?”
“I want to keep talking. But how do I say that in Japanese?”
When the words won't come, it's okay to send your message in English.
See how to express it naturally in Japanese, then enjoy what happens next.
【Who will you start your story with?】
Choose a character and a setting. From there, the words are yours.
Ask a more personal question, joke around, or tell them how you really feel.
Your character responds to what you say, and the conversation continues.
Need a break? Pick up where you left off.
Enjoy your story together at your own pace.
【Join the conversation, even if you're a beginner】
Check English translations of your character's Japanese messages whenever you need them.
If you can't think of a reply in Japanese, send it in English and see a Japanese translation.
“So that's how you say it.”
Learn expressions for the things you actually want to say.
【Say what you mean in natural Japanese】
Try replying in Japanese, and AI will suggest corrections and more natural ways to phrase it.
Start with a few words. It's okay to make mistakes.
Check the feedback when you want to, so you can keep enjoying the conversation as you learn.
【Make their words part of your Japanese】
A phrase your character used that caught your attention.
A feeling you finally found the words for.
Save expressions you'd like to use again and revisit them later.
With each conversation, build a collection of Japanese you want to make your own.
【Hear your favorite character's voice】
You can listen to your character's messages, too.
Read a line to understand it, then hear it spoken. Try saying it aloud yourself.
Chat also supports voice input. Type on your commute or dictate a message at home—choose what works for you.
Audio for the first message is free to try. Listening to subsequent messages requires Premium.
