Authentic Japanese learning through slang

Build a language app teaching real contemporary Japanese via slang and pop culture. For intermediate learners bored with textbooks.

Existing apps focus on formal language, leaving learners unprepared for actual conversations.

Who for
Japanese language learners
Business model
Subscription content
Effort
A few weeks

Textbook Japanese sounds unnatural in casual settings. Slang-heavy content bridges this gap but is hard to find.

Create short video lessons explaining slang terms in context, sourced from actual media.

Serious learners would pay for a subscription to access exclusive content.

MVP could be a TikTok/Instagram account testing content formats.

Risk: Slang changes quickly, requiring constant updates.
