KataSpeak

A little practice. A bigger world.

Turn the words you knowinto words you can speak.

A town with paths connecting a school, homes and a park, where people learn with books and audio.

Make everyday places
your space to practise.

Listen. Recall. Speak.
A little repetition today. More words to say tomorrow.

OUR PURPOSE

Our purpose

Go beyond understanding.
Start speaking.

You know the words.
But when it is time to speak, they will not come.

What you need may be practice out loud. Just as athletes repeat a movement, you can practise words again and again, at your own pace.

KataSpeak makes language practice part of everyday life. We are building tools that help you keep practising on your own device, wherever you are, at an affordable price.

A student practising aloud with headphones and a smartphone, beside another student listening with a book.
At your own pace. In your own space.

Small steps. Real words.

OUR SERVICE

Our service

FrankenDojoby KataSpeak

Build your speaking skills.
One practice at a time.

Preparing for launch

From hearing English to saying it yourself. FrankenDojo is a language training service that connects focused listening with speaking practice.

Adjust the pace and repetitions to suit you. Take more time with the phrases you find difficult.

  1. LISTEN

    Listen at your own pace.

    Try shadowing that waits for you: the model audio repeats until you begin speaking. Start by getting familiar with the sounds, without rushing.

  2. RECALL

    Picture the scene.

    Who are you speaking to, and how do you feel? Recall the scene from the story before you speak, so the words carry meaning as well as sound.

  3. SPEAK

    Say it again. Make it yours.

    Repeat phrases and short, meaningful chunks. Record your voice and compare it with the model audio to review your practice.

TWO WAYS IN

More than one way
to get started.

01 / Original stories

Practise with a story.

Follow Frank and Tina through everyday conversations, with illustrations, English scripts and Japanese translations. Bring their stories to life with your own voice.

02 / Your own audio

Use the materials you know.

Import your own audio and the app automatically identifies speech segments, so you can practise repeatedly with familiar materials.
