I built Language Learning website with hint of AI grading
A few years back, I enrolled in a Japanese language course at Mumbai University. It was a pretty rough experience.
The teacher was incredibly loud as in literally shouting at people's every mistake, and the pace was unforgiving. If you missed just one or two lectures, suddenly everything looked like alien text and you were completely left behind. The environment was so tense that asking a simple doubt made you regret ever joining the course in the first place.
I ended up leaving halfway through. I decided to study on my own terms, and I managed to pass the JLPT N5 basic level purely through self-study.
But self-studying Japanese I had difficulties to check if my sentence formations or word choices were actually correct. I tried uploading textbooks and PDFs into Gemini and ChatGPT to act as my tutor, but after a short while, the chat window's memory would give up, and the AI would start hallucinating and giving me wrong data. Internet is flooded with free Japanese study materials, they are so scattered and disorganized that it completely confuses when you're an absolute beginner trying to figure out what to study next
So, I built the platform I wished I had. It’s called Wabi Sabi Japanese wabisabijapanese.com
Here is what I built into it:
- Instant AI Grading: You actually speak into the app, and the AI grades your pronunciation so you know if you are saying things correctly.
- AI Teacher: You can communicate with it to ask all the "stupid" doubts you’d be too afraid to ask a real, shouting teacher.
- Zero Judgment: Learn at your own pace. If you miss a day, you don't fall behind a syllabus.
Current Status: The project is about 90% done. As of right now, I have fully loaded all the JLPT N5 level content. I am currently studying to take the N4 exam in December 2026, so I will be adding the N4 level content soon as I study along with it!
I’d love for this community to give it a try and tear it apart. Let me know what’s confusing, what breaks, or what features you'd want to see.
Also, if you are genuinely interested in using it to learn and want to test it further, drop me a DM with your email address after you register on the site. I’ll manually upgrade your account to give you full access to everything.
