Online English & Japanese Community
Tired of Textbooks?
Practice Real Japanese with Real People!
Are you struggling to find a place to practice Japanese?
You’ve been learning, but…
✔ You rarely get to speak Japanese and find it hard to make friends.
✔ You struggle to speak naturally and read with confidence.
✔ You find it difficult to express your thoughts and feelings clearly.
If you’re thinking, "Yes, that’s me!" — you’re not alone!
Many language learners struggle because they don’t have enough chances to use the language in real conversations with different people.
That’s where our community CRUISE comes in.
We provide a supportive space to practice, connect, and explore Japanese culture — with many native Japanese members from all over Japan.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY
Matthew
Where I live, I do not have many opportunities to practice Japanese, and despite how much I was learning, eventually I felt like I had stopped making any progress. However, when I joined CRUISE, I was warmly welcomed, and have since been able to make connections and friends with whom I feel comfortable practicing with. I have tried many other apps and websites, but this is the first time that I have felt like I am part of a community, which has helped me tremendously. Even though I still have more to learn, I am excited to do so with the CRUISE community.
