We connect people who want to study foreign languages and, through everyday communication with friends, stimulate interest and motivation to learn in foreign languages and different cultures.
Palaygo is a revolutionary educational tool that allows you to effectively improve your communication skills and English proficiency by using English practically from the comfort of your own home.
Unlike a translation tool, PalaygoMail does not automatically output a word-for-word translation. Instead, you can write what you want to say by combining English phrases and words and building them up according to example sentences. This allows you to write sentences that express the meaning of what you want to say using correct grammar, and in the process, you can learn English grammar and new words.
Also, while online English conversation is a method where teachers teach students, PalaygoTalk is a conversation between people of the same age overseas, so there is a mutually beneficial relationship where people are learning each other's languages, and even if you are not familiar with English conversation, you can enjoy conversations of deep content. In addition, PalaygoTalk has a conversation assistance function such as a unique palette, so even if you do not have conversational skills, you can communicate with each other using advanced and accurate English sentences and enjoy in-depth conversations.
In addition, PalaygoTour is an advanced program where you can study abroad at a school attended by Palaygo kids or do a homestay. Here too, the Palaygo kids overseas are learning Japanese, so it is structured to develop real relationships, including family relationships, in a pro-Japanese atmosphere.
What these consistent programs have in common is that, in each program and situation, they enable students to communicate in English what interests them and what is happening around them, which inspires their desire to learn a foreign language and allows them to learn English while having fun.
Palaygo participants will become familiar with English through casual, everyday interactions with friends from overseas and will find it enjoyable to use English. As a result, their interest in English will increase, which will also lead to increased motivation to learn English.
Palaygo provides various tools to assist in English communication. By using these tools, you can naturally learn new English vocabulary and expressions while communicating independently. Native speakers from overseas also teach you various English expressions and cultural terms.
The basis of language development is a combination of an interest-based approach to learning and real-life opportunities to practice the language and expressions you are learning. These are the unique and effective learning methods that allow you to improve your language skills while having fun.
Palaygo allows you to expand your circle of contacts, not just with the same friends, but with any number of people. Each PalaygoTalk session is one-on-one. PalaygoTour also allows you to expand your connections by becoming part of a school or local community overseas.

Language Discovery Group, the provider of Palaygo, has bases in both Australia and Japan and works with governments and educational officials in both Japan and Australia to provide students in Japan and overseas with a real, safe environment for international exchange and understanding that transcends borders and language barriers.
The Palaygo program has also received a lot of support and grants from the Australian government, including then Australian Prime Minister Rudd visiting schools that have introduced Palaygo and sending messages himself via Palaygo. To date, the program has been used by over 100 elementary, junior high and high schools in Japan and Australia, and by more than 39,000 elementary, junior high and high school students.
Regarding safety concerns, messages are exchanged using a closed, proprietary email service that is not compatible with general email and can only be accessed by educators and students at Palaygo participating schools in Japan and overseas who are registered with Palaygo. The content of messages is also managed to prevent inappropriate language from reaching the recipient, making it possible to enjoy communicating with people overseas with peace of mind.
PalaygoHome is for adults and high school students, while PalaygoSchool is for elementary and junior high school students.
In addition, the portal interface and the topics offered are now more age-appropriate.
