well you have a reasonable enough sales pitch on the homepage but I don't see what youtube videos have to do with it

and I put a video in to try and apparently there's a 26 minute wait

ok so it's meant to be speaking practice, expressing yourself in Japanese, but i go to actually try it and it's just translation exercises based on what the guy in the video said?

Like it has a sentence he said in Japanese, in English, and you have to translate it back to Japanese? But the sentence isn't a really a response to anything, it's just something the guy said

I don't get it

I just want an easy-to-use offline AI chatbot that I can converse with in Japanese to practice with at native speed.

Does this not exist yet?

My cousin speaks fluent Japanese. He had another western acquaintance living in Japan that was a stay-at-home dad who spent his days with Japanese mothers. It seems that women speak differently enough from men where the guy was learning female speaking (accent? Structure? I have no idea) and so my cousin had to talk to him privately and tell him he speaks like a woman...
