Why Langmate?
Meet Japanese friends
Langmate is one of the easiest ways to connect with people in Japan. Whether you are learning Japanese, love Japanese culture, or want local friends before visiting Japan, Langmate helps you start real conversations.
Meet native speakers worldwide
Langmate is not only for Japan. You can also meet native speakers and international friends from around the world. Practice languages, share cultures, and discover how people really live in different countries.
Practice Japanese naturally
Textbooks are useful, but real conversations teach you how people actually speak. Chat with Japanese people, learn casual expressions, and improve your Japanese through everyday messages.
Find people by shared interests
It is easier to start a conversation when you already have something in common. Find people who like anime, manga, J-pop, games, travel, food, fashion, language learning, and more.
