Want to make Japanese friends, but not sure what to say after “こんにちは”? That’s a good place to start.
We’re the team behind Langmate, an international friendship app made in Japan. We share practical ideas for meeting Japanese people, practising Japanese, and getting to know everyday life in Japan through conversation.
Our aim is simple: useful examples, a little humour, and the confidence to start your next conversation.
What matters in our articles
Separate facts from suggestions
For features, prices, and figures, we check official materials or original sources and link to the evidence. We do not present unverified information as fact.
Keep real experiences and illustrative conversations distinct
We distinguish actual interviews and personal experiences from examples created to explain an idea. We do not treat one person’s experience as a characteristic of an entire nationality or gender.
Make it enjoyable and practical
We go beyond “be proactive” to show what you might say and when. We value writing that brings a smile and helps you find your next words.
