Join SakeSaySo – language learning doesn’t need to be a textbook and test based experience. Embrace the vibrant, chaotic and always fascinating Japanese culture from a fellow learners perspective. Born from a personal quest to navigate the language and culture, SakeSaySo was born from a lack of existing tools and features that we craved. Provided, free of charge, free of ads, free of tracking.
