LangCity Is Live: Learn Japanese by Living in a Town
LangCity turns Japanese practice into a free pixel-art RPG: explore a living town, talk with AI characters, complete useful missions and level up one conversation at a time.
LangCity is now live: a free top-down role-playing game where Japanese practice happens inside a lively pixel-art town. Instead of memorising disconnected phrases, you explore streets, meet characters and use Japanese to move the story forward.
Learn by living in the town
Walk through Tokyo-inspired streets, konbini, train stations and ramen shops. Each place gives language a purpose: you are not studying a dialogue from the outside—you are using it to decide what happens next.
Talk with AI-powered characters
Chat with townspeople in natural Japanese and tap for translation when you need support. The conversations turn useful vocabulary and sentence patterns into moments you can remember because they belong to a character, place and goal.
Complete practical missions
Start with everyday challenges such as ordering an onigiri, asking for directions or thanking a teacher. Finishing missions earns XP, helps you level up and unlocks more parts of the town.
A gentler way to keep practising
LangCity makes repetition feel like progress through a world. Short conversations, immediate context and visible rewards give you a reason to return, try again and use what you learned.
Play wherever you learn
Start instantly in your browser with no installation and no account required. LangCity is also available for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, with guest play and sign-in options for syncing progress.
Your town is ready
Choose your first street, meet your first character and let one useful Japanese conversation lead to the next. LangCity is free to play at langcity.alphberlin.com.
