Love Japan? Make Japanese friends before your trip or from home. Share your love of anime, food, and culture, and practice Japanese through everyday chats.
Langmate helps you make Japanese friends, whether you're learning Japanese, planning a trip, or simply love Japan. Over 65% of Langmate users are Japanese. Find people with shared interests and get to know each other through casual, everyday chats.
JAPAN IS THE STARTING POINT. FRIENDSHIP IS THE REASON TO STAY.
Maybe you love the same manga. Maybe you're curious about a local festival, or want to know what life in Japan is really like.
Talk about anime, food, music, travel, or whatever you've been into lately. Share something about your own country, too. You don't need perfect Japanese—or a plane ticket—to start a conversation.
MEET JAPANESE PEOPLE WHO SHARE YOUR INTERESTS
Browse profiles and interest tags, then swipe to send a LIKE. When you both LIKE each other, you match and can start chatting.
Use filters such as nationality and age to help find people you'd like to meet. Some filters require a paid plan.
MAKE FRIENDS BEFORE YOU VISIT JAPAN
Planning a trip to Tokyo, Osaka, or Kyoto? Use Virtual Location to explore profiles in your destination before you arrive. Ask new friends about their favorite foods, neighborhoods, and places to visit.
Already in Japan? Around Me helps you discover people nearby.
PRACTICE JAPANESE THROUGH EVERYDAY CONVERSATIONS
Tell a friend about your weekend, ask about an expression you've just learned, or help them practice English. Choose the languages you'd both like to use and learn from each other as you chat.
Send voice messages to practice speaking, share video messages, or use the handwriting tool to try writing kana and kanji together.
A LITTLE HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT
Use in-chat translation to check the meaning of a message when you get stuck. Correction and reply features are also available to support your conversations.
Start with a short hello. Ask about something on their profile. Take it one message at a time.
