Tunanuki
Japanese shadowing practice with real voice actors, not AI
Tunanuki is a Japanese shadowing app for English speakers at N5 to N2 level. Every dialogue is recorded by professional Japanese voice actors, never AI. Listen, shadow with the script, then shadow without it, one line at a time. Level 1 is free.

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Malik, the maker of Tunanuki. I lived in Japan for two years and found learning to speak Japanese surprisingly hard. Classes didn't click, I couldn't stay consistent with textbooks, and I got stuck around N3. What changed things was discovering shadowing (repeating native audio a split second behind the speaker) and Krashen's ideas about comprehensible input. I wanted a tool that combined shadowing with the daily structure of an app like WaniKani, so I built Tunanuki: • Real voices only. A Japanese friend who works as a translator wrote the dialogues, and I auditioned professional voice actors to record them. Native speakers I asked could easily tell AI voices apart, so no AI audio. • Three steps per dialogue: listen, shadow with the script, then shadow without it. • Line-by-line replay, slower playback, furigana and English translations. It's in beta: Level 1 (beginner) is free and available now, and more levels are coming. I'd love your honest feedback, especially from anyone learning Japanese. What would make you practice every day?
