Learn the Japanese your family speaks.
For the half-Japanese person who grew up hearing a language they never quite learned to speak. Built around the native speaker already at your table — and the relatives you want to understand on your next visit.
今日どうだった？
kyō dō datta?
"How was your day?" — start dinner with this tonight.
You got a reply in Japanese. That's a real exchange — not a drill, not a flashcard.
Every phrase ladders up to the trip
Three things no other app can offer.
Other apps simulate conversation with a robot. You have native speakers at home. Tadaima gives you one small, un-awkward thing to say at dinner — and the people you love answer back. 団欒 — the warmth of family, gathered.
You heard Japanese from birth. You're not a beginner who knows nothing — heritage learners sound far more natural than people who start from scratch. Tadaima helps you claim what was always there.
No owl. No guilt. The streak measures nights you actually spoke Japanese at dinner — not sessions you opened an app. Miss a day, tomorrow is fresh. Protecting a streak that means something real is a different feeling entirely.
Not "Great job!" — something worth reading.
