How TUD helps

Japanese speaking practice built for conversation.

TUD helps Japanese learners practice real conversation in manageable steps. You speak through Tokyo Voice Missions, get support when needed, earn XP, and unlock CEFR-style A1-C2 progression through consistent practice.

Practice path

From A1 basics to C2 confidence.

Start with practical beginner Voice Missions, then unlock more complex conversations with XP. TUD Pro gives unlimited speaking time and early B1-C2 access, while free learners can still unlock the full CEFR-style A1-C2 path.

What you practice

  • Buy a train ticket, order ramen, ask for a size, and make a reservation.
  • Use Guided, Balanced, or Immersive help so Japanese practice stays approachable.
  • Build a daily speaking habit with 10 free minutes per day or unlimited time with TUD Pro.

The Stall Special You Must Decode

The stall is busy, the vendor recommends a special you do not fully understand, and the next customer is already waiting. Your mission is to ask what is inside, choose clearly, and fix the order if the wrong item appears.

  • Ask what is inside
  • Order the snack clearly
  • Correct the wrong item

The Missing Document At The Metropolitan Desk

One missing document pauses your address-registration question at the counter. You need to explain what happened, ask whether a workaround or new appointment is possible, and confirm the next administrative step.

  • Explain the missing document
  • Ask about a workaround
  • Confirm the next step

The Diet Library Aside

A careful comment near the press kiosk carries more than its surface meaning. Your mission is to read the implication, answer with restraint, and keep the exchange precise without making the moment awkward.

  • Answer with restraint
  • Keep the exchange precise

Japanese by level

Beginner, intermediate, and advanced practice.

Beginner Japanese

A1-A2 survival missions in Tokyo.

Beginner Japanese speaking practice starts with short Tokyo tasks where clarity matters more than perfect grammar.

  • Kissaten, market, and food-stall missions practise orders, sizes, ingredients, and polite corrections.
  • Station, hotel, and meeting-point missions build confidence with locations, times, reservations, and simple clarification.
  • Guided support keeps early Voice Missions approachable while still making you speak out loud.

Intermediate Japanese

B1-B2 problem-solving with social pressure.

Intermediate Japanese conversation practice asks you to explain, clarify, and negotiate when the situation becomes less predictable.

  • Clinic, interview, Haneda, and flatmate missions practise longer explanations and follow-up questions.
  • Metropolitan office and service-desk missions focus on polite problem-solving, alternatives, and next steps.
  • XP unlocks make B1-B2 progress feel earned, while TUD Pro can open early access.

Advanced Japanese

C1-C2 nuance, debate, and restraint.

Advanced Japanese speaking practice becomes about subtext, politeness, precision, and staying composed when the room gets subtle.

  • C1 missions push opinion, debate, professional introductions, and social repair around Shibuya and Golden Gai.
  • C2 missions focus on source attribution, archive disputes, tact, and mastery-style exchanges.
  • Free learners can still unlock advanced Japanese Voice Missions with XP over time.
