Introduction to Sakugo

Welcome to Sakugo! We're thrilled to have you here. If you're looking to move beyond just recognizing language and start producing it, you've come to the right place.

What is Sakugo

Sakugo is a language learning app designed to help you practice one of the most challenging skills: output.

The name comes from the Japanese kanji 作 (saku, to make) and 語 (go, language). While it's not a real word in Japanese, we coined it to mean 'language creation,' because forming your own sentences is the heart of the app. Coincidentally, Sakugo (錯誤) also means 'mistake' in Japanese - and mistake is an important tool for your learning journey. Sakugo helps you learn directly from your mistakes and grow stronger with each one.

Talk to Real People!

Sakugo is designed to be your daily training partner, helping you build the confidence to speak. But nothing beats talking to actual native speakers! When you feel ready, we highly recommend services like italki or HelloTalk to put your skills to the test.
