Open Source Language Learning by Humans, for Humans
Asakiri was created to provide a platform where language enthusiasts, teachers and learners can connect through genuine human interaction and carefully crafted content. We believe that language learning is fundamentally a human experience that thrives on cultural context, personal connections and expert guidance.
Our mission is to create an ecosystem where language learning is accessible, effective and rooted in authentic human to human instruction rather than algorithmic approaches.
Every course on Asakiri is created by real language teachers and enthusiasts. We focus exclusively on human curated content that incorporates cultural nuances, practical examples and pedagogical expertise that only human teachers can provide.
Unlike many modern platforms, Asakiri is completely free of AI generated content and AI driven interactions. We believe that language learning requires human judgment, empathy and cultural understanding that cannot be replicated by algorithms. Our platform is built by humans, for humans.
Asakiri is built as an open source project, which means our code is transparent, community-driven, and continuously improved by contributors who share our vision. This approach ensures that our platform evolves based on the real needs of language learners and teachers.
Our federation system allows multiple Asakiri instances to discover and share courses with each other, creating a decentralized network of language learning communities. This means courses created on one instance can be discovered by learners on another. Expanding access to quality language instruction worldwide.
Language experts create structured courses with grammar lessons, vocabulary practice, and reading exercises based on their expertise and teaching experience.
Content undergoes peer review by other language enthusiasts, ensuring accuracy and pedagogical soundness without relying on automated systems.
Courses become available across connected Asakiri instances. Allowing communities to share resources while maintaining local governance.
Learners progress through materials with real feedback from course creators and community members. Enabling authentic language acquisition.
Asakiri embraces the principles of the federated web through our federation system. Allowing independent instances to discover and share courses with each other.
This approach means that any organization, school or community can host their own Asakiri instance while still benefiting from courses created elsewhere. It creates a resilient ecosystem where content is shared without centralized control.
Each instance can set its own moderation and content standards
