🌍 Our Story

Making Language Learning Fun

We believe everyone deserves to sound confident when speaking a new language. AccentArcade makes that possible through play.

🎯 Our Mission

Breaking the Accent Barrier

Learning a language is hard enough without worrying about how you sound. Traditional methods focus on grammar and vocabulary, but pronunciation — the thing that makes you actually understood — is often ignored.

We built AccentArcade to change that. By combining AI-powered native pronunciation with gamified scenarios, we make accent training something you actually want to do, not dread.

Our approach is simple: you speak, we show you how a native would say it, and you practice until it clicks. No judgment, no boring drills — just real conversations that prepare you for real life.

What We Stand For

🎮

Learning Should Be Fun

If it feels like a game, you'll actually want to practice. We turn pronunciation drills into engaging conversations.

🎯

Real-World Focus

Every scenario is based on situations you'll actually encounter. No "the cat is under the table" here.

🤝

No Judgment Zone

Practice in private, make mistakes freely. Our AI doesn't laugh at your accent — it helps you improve it.

🌍

Everyone Deserves Access

Our free tier isn't a demo — it's real practice. Premium features enhance, but free users learn too.

🔬

Science-Backed

Shadow practice is proven to improve pronunciation. We've just made it more accessible and engaging.

💬

Community First

Our roadmap is shaped by user feedback. You tell us what scenarios you need, we build them.

📖 Our Journey

The AccentArcade Story

2023 - The Spark

The Frustration That Started It All

Our founder, after years of studying Japanese, realized she could read novels but couldn't order ramen without getting confused looks. The problem wasn't vocabulary — it was pronunciation.

Early 2024 - Research

Discovering Shadow Practice

Research into language acquisition revealed that "shadowing" — listening and immediately repeating — is one of the most effective ways to improve accent. But existing tools were boring.

Mid 2024 - Building

Creating the First Prototype

We built a simple tool: type what you want to say, hear it back in native pronunciation. The first testers loved it, but wanted more context.

Late 2024 - Launch

AccentArcade Goes Live

We added scenarios, gamification, and streak tracking. Launched to 1,000 beta users who helped shape every feature you see today.

2025 - Growth

50,000 Learners and Counting

Word spread through language learning communities. Teachers started using it in classrooms. We added team features and expanded to more scenarios.

2026 - Today

The Future Is Spoken

We're working on voice input and real-time pronunciation scoring. Plus Japanese is coming soon. The mission remains: make everyone sound confident.
