Have you ever wanted to learn Japanese? Have you tried studying but feel like you aren't getting anywhere?
In So to Speak, you use context clues to guess the meaning of what you see and hear. Unlike other games and tools, meanings aren't revealed immediately. Every word is its own puzzle - to proceed, you must connect it to nearby objects or text with the same meaning. For example, you can drag a Japanese sign for "entrance" onto an actual building entrance located nearby or the English word "entrance" in the game's description of the entrance.
The game is a love letter to the Japanese language and the experience of wandering alone in another country. There are no drills, no fights, no minigames, and no distractions. The entire game is a series of situations, and each one helps you discover the meaning of something new.
Learn more than 650 words covering topics such as travel, nature, family, colors, numbers, time, and directions.
Explore cities, rural areas, gardens, and temples filled with signs and conversations to decipher along with clues to help you.
Grow your knowledge from simple words like "car" and "tree" to complex sentences like "The parking lot is for convenience store customers only."

So far so good! Context clues are a great way to introduce casual Japanese as well as most materials and classes use Genki which primarily teaches polite forms of Japanese first. This is very helpful and the Dev is responsive to any bugs (as seen in the Community Hub)

I've wanted to learn Japanese for a while, but I've never known where to start learning such a complex language. This game has provided a nice starting point that is accessible and easy to understand for someone who knows nothing about the language. Matching sounds to symbols and context clues is way more fun than I expected. Playing this game feels like I'm in school again, before it got stressful. It makes learning fun again. Thank you so much, devs. I'm going to copy down the in-game notebook so I can learn how to form my own sentences and start to dissect the grammar structures.
