Japanese Conversation App 'NinjaTalk' Launches Corporate Plan for Businesses

Aistandard Inc. has launched a corporate plan for its Japanese conversation app 'NinjaTalk', targeting companies and organizations that employ foreign workers.

About NinjaTalk

'NinjaTalk' is a language learning app that enables users to practically acquire job-relevant Japanese skills—such as workplace reporting, communication, and consultation, or interactions with customers and colleagues—through AI-powered conversation practice, going beyond textbook-based learning.

The app has surpassed 10,000 cumulative downloads (iOS and Android combined, as of April 1, 2026). The new corporate plan includes management features that visualize each employee's learning progress, supporting talent development and retention for companies hiring foreign workers.

■ Eliminating the Gap: 'I Studied, But Still Can't Communicate'

The number of foreign nationals living and working in Japan continues to rise. However, many face the language barrier of Japanese. Language proficiency deeply affects employment opportunities, career prospects, and daily life security.

Traditional Japanese learning often has a significant gap between 'textbook Japanese' and 'real-world Japanese'. Many learners pass exams but struggle with daily workplace handovers or casual conversations with colleagues.

What we value most is ensuring that the Japanese learned can actually be used in real conversations. We believe that through repeated practice with AI—not just memorization—learners can transform 'knowledge' into 'usable skills'. Regardless of nationality or native language, everyone should be able to master practical Japanese.

We aim to use technology to gently support this kind of learning.

■ Over 10,000 Downloads: Learning is Expanding

NinjaTalk has now surpassed 10,000 cumulative downloads (iOS and Android combined, as of April 1, 2026). With hundreds of AI conversation scenarios and thousands of vocabulary items across JLPT levels N5 to N1, the app supports learners from beginner to advanced.

The fact that many users choose and continue using NinjaTalk shows that our vision of 'learning that transcends language barriers' is steadily gaining traction.

■ Four Core Values of NinjaTalk

NinjaTalk supports foreign talent's Japanese learning through four pillars:

① Practice Job-Relevant Japanese with AI Conversations

AI serves as a 24/7 conversation partner. Role-playing real workplace situations—such as reporting, consulting, or interacting with customers and colleagues—helps users build practical speaking skills. The ability to practice repeatedly without fear of mistakes ensures learners acquire Japanese they can actually use on the job.

② Reinforce Vocabulary Learned in AI Conversations

Words and phrases encountered during AI conversations can be reviewed after each session. Because they are learned through real conversational experience, they are easier to remember and become 'usable language'.

③ Comprehensive Support from JLPT N5 to N1

Learners can study at their own pace, from beginner to advanced. The app systematically covers vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening, supporting users all the way to certification goals.

④ 8-Language UI for a Smooth Start

Available in English, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Filipino, Burmese, and Japanese. Users can navigate the app in their native language, enabling confident learning even at early stages of Japanese proficiency.

■ Gamification for Sustainable Learning

The biggest challenge in language learning is consistency. NinjaTalk incorporates gamification—such as a ninja-themed ranking system and learning streaks (consecutive learning days)—to make learning enjoyable. The sense of achievement from leveling up motivates daily practice.

■ New: Launch of Corporate Plan

NinjaTalk now launches its corporate plan, expanding beyond individual users to serve companies and organizations that hire or accept foreign talent.

Japanese language training for foreign staff often relies heavily on team leaders or trainers. NinjaTalk's corporate plan reduces this burden by providing an organized, company-wide talent development system.

How the Corporate Plan Solves Key Challenges

Moving Beyond 'On-the-Job Training' — AI acts as a conversation partner, reducing the burden on trainers

Visibility of Learning Progress — Managers can monitor each employee's study time, progress, and proficiency levels through a centralized dashboard

Customized Learning for Specific Workplaces — We offer consultation to tailor learning content to specific job roles and environments

Consistent Training for Multilingual Staff — The 8-language UI ensures all employees, regardless of origin, receive the same high-quality learning experience

Recommended for:

Companies hiring foreign staff and facing challenges in language training

Organizations accepting Specified Skilled Workers or Technical Interns

Businesses with diverse nationalities aiming to standardize and streamline training

We believe Japanese learning should not be left solely to individual effort. Instead, we aim to build a system where both employees and employers grow together.

■ Supporting Corporate Talent Development from This Launch

NinjaTalk views the launch of the corporate plan as a new beginning.

Beyond individual users, we will partner with companies and organizations to help create workplaces where hired talent can thrive long-term, overcoming language barriers.

Going forward, we will expand job-relevant learning scenarios, advance AI technology, and improve management features based on user feedback—aiming to become a trusted talent development partner for corporate clients.

Our ultimate vision is a society where no one has to give up on their aspirations in Japan due to language barriers. We will continue moving forward toward this goal.
