Could you build this?

Partial The front-end app and speech/chat features are standard API wrappers, but curating 718 structured educational lessons, accurate visual grammar parsing, and high-quality Japanese audio requires massive specialized content production.

What it would actually take: The stack involves a mobile app (React Native/Flutter) connected to Japanese morphological analyzers (such as MeCab or Sudachi) for sentence tokenization and grammar visualizers, alongside LLM-based conversational agents. The major bottleneck is authoring, verifying, and recording 89 structured pedagogical courses and hundreds of exercises, which requires bilingual curriculum designers and native voice talent.
