The Real Nihongo Translator | Speak Like a Local
The Real Nihongo Translator helps you speak real Japanese. The way locals actually talk.
Our translator is well over 90% accurate.
How to Use It + Additional Features
- Type or speak your phrase / word in Hindi, Korean, or English (We detect the language automatically).
- Get natural Japanese with romaji pronunciation and audio included.
- Sound native instantly. Japanese textbooks are a joke.
This is how locals actually talk. 10 free searches daily (Limited Time Only).
Hit the limit? Plans start at just $4.97 a month (Till May 2026 Only).
Polite Mode
Use this feature when you are talking to strangers, a grocery store clerk, a new colleague. Once you somewhat know the person, go back to casual. One checkbox switches the entire output.
Sound it out | Phonetic Japanese Translator
Ever heard a Japanese word but had no idea what it meant? Type or say it in any of the three languages (Hindi, Korean or English), and you'll know exactly what it is (90% accuracy). This is one of the best ways to teach yourself real Japanese, especially if you're a DIY learner. After May 2026, this feature will only be available on Active and Pro plans.
Save and Export
Once you upgrade to an Active, or Pro plan, all your searches will automatically be saved in your dashboard. So you can review them, or even export them in a CSV file. This feature is for people looking to learn real spoken everday Japanese, and finally speak like the locals.
