I just want an easy-to-use offline AI chatbot that I can converse with in Japanese to practice with at native speed.

My stack, running locally on a Windows 10 machine: - Vosk STT augmented with vosk-model-ja-0.22 for Japanese - Gemma4 LLM running in Ollama and with customized model card to act as a Japanese tutor - Kokoro TTS using Japanese voice jf_alpha.pt and augmented with the unidic Japanese dictionary
Not that I would trust an AI chatbot with Japanese. Most online text translators can barely cope with Japanese, DeepL is the only one that provides passable results. Its a tricky language.
Maybe you didn't mean ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude but do you have examples of this not working with those? They work for me.
