In Japan, 'consent' (konsento) means a power outlet and a 'claim' is a complaint. WaseiGo teaches 1,000+ wasei-eigo, the English-looking words whose meanings Japan reinvented, through illustrated two-voice dialogues with native audio, a searchable dictionary, and picture quizzes. Guess first, then learn why. A free selection to start; a one-time purchase unlocks everything. No subscription.

Hi Product Hunt!
Japanese has over 1,000 words that look and sound like English but mean something else here. コンセント (consent) is a power outlet. カンニング (cunning) means cheating on a test. These words trip up learners of Japanese, and they trip up Japanese people speaking English just as badly.
WaseiGo teaches each one with a short illustrated dialogue, native audio, and a quiz that makes you guess before it tells you. The first 50 words are free, the rest is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no ads.
If a wasei-eigo word has ever tricked you, tell me which one. I read every comment.
