Hey PH! Alex here, co‑founder of iago 👋 ➡️ Avid Duolingo user? If you import a 7+ day streak from Duolingo, receive 14-days for free on iago! iago is the first immersive language learning game where you learn to speak from day one by immersing in a game-like story you control by speaking to characters. Team up with our your new share house neighbor Iako-chan as she guides you around Japan, learning the relevant phrases, vocab, and grammar to navigate through common situations like Buying Clothes, Ordering Food, or even Arranging a Date. We're huge anime, JRPG, and language nerds who've hit a wall with existing tools in the space whether it be more casual apps (*cough* Duolingo), flashcards, or even the existing generic AI chat driven apps. We want to make language learning actually motivating, fun, effective. With the months of work we put into our curriculum, stories, and user experience, we're excited to have you all try out iago!
Comment highlights
Could be awesome to add voice acting with native pronunciation. Would help sharpen listening skills too.
