Niseko Sensei — Our AI Japanese Lessons Are Live (30-day program with audio)

We've launched Niseko Sensei — AI Japanese Lessons for foreigners who work, live, or play in Niseko. Open it from /lesson.

What's inside

• 30-day structured program (Day 1–30) covering practical JLPT N5-level conversation
• 25 minutes a day: 5 min theory + 5 min examples + 10 min drills + 5 min output
• Every Japanese line comes with romaji and audio (🔊 button)
• Dialogues are voiced by a female and a male speaker — recreating the actual staff room and shop-counter conversations
• Content is 100% Niseko-specific: lodge check-in, lift tickets, the clinic, izakaya, climbing Yōtei and more

Free and paid

• Day 1–5 are free: greetings, numbers and prices, directions, check-in, rental
• Day 6–30 open with a paid plan (pricing announced soon)

How to use it

• Enter from "Niseko Sensei" at the top of the site
• Explanations and translations switch between Japanese, English, and Chinese
• 🔊 plays audio generated by NHK-announcer-grade neural voices (WaveNet)

Under the hood (for the curious)

• Audio is pre-generated with Google Cloud Text-to-Speech (WaveNet) and stored on Supabase
• Readings are explicitly fed to TTS so you hear カナダ人 as kanada-jin, 7時 as shichi-ji, and so on
• The editorial team hand-proofread every line
