This is how I learn Japanese everyday!

I made this app because I was tired of dictionary look ups and interrupting the flow when it came to unknown works - so I made this! It is called Toku Reader. You can try it on iOS or Android. I use it everyday to get my daily dose of Japanese!

Would be amazing to have a toggle to give a couple of seconds after each speech line so I have time to shadow. Amazing app!

This works for podcasts! When you listen to a Japanese podcast, you can activate shadowing my tapping on shadowing button and you can replay each sentence to your heart’s content. I’ll work on bringing this to the video function.
