this is targeted for Japanese people who are learning English right? seems like some sections overview aren't fully localized. and why is the free tier called "Stowaway"?

seems pretty cool though, would love a similar service for people learning Japanese..

Yes, right now we are targeting Japanese learning English as we have experience in that market. If we are able to achieve product/market fit we definitely want to expand to other languages and countries. We are still working on fully localizing the app. Thanks for checking it out!

I'd definitely ask that question of some of your target audience; whether they'd prefer English or localized explanations, etc. If they're targeting TOEIC, or have passed it, I think it's okay to have some faith in them.

Of course, training wheels don't always hurt, either. :)
