Actually practice speaking Japanese.
My Tomodachi pairs you with AI characters — a convenience store worker in Osaka, a salaryman in Tokyo, a retired fisherman in Hokkaido. Set your JLPT level. Have a real conversation. In Japanese.
Why it works
Designed for real
conversation practice
Most apps teach vocabulary in isolation. My Tomodachi puts you in a real conversation — any time, any place.
Yuki in Osaka, Kenji the Tokyo salaryman, Hiroshi the Hokkaido fisherman. Each has a life, a dialect, and a personality — and they remember yours.
Set N5 through N2 and the characters respond at exactly that level — vocabulary, kanji, grammar. No guessing at words you haven't learned yet.
One tap shows furigana above every kanji. Another tap hides it. Study with support, or test yourself without — your choice every message.
Every response is spoken aloud using Google Neural TTS voices. Hear the actual rhythm and intonation of natural Japanese, not robotic synthesis.
Don't understand a sentence? Tap translate for the full English meaning. Tap individual sentences to check them line by line. Never get stuck.
Keep your streak alive. A small daily habit compounds fast — even five minutes of real conversation is more effective than thirty minutes of flashcards.
The characters
Who will you practice with?
Each character has a backstory, a dialect, and a life they'll tell you about. Scroll to meet them all.
Convenience store worker. Cheerful, chatty, loves anime and takoyaki.
Osaka dialect
Tech salaryman. Polite but tired. Talks about his daughter Yui and weekend ramen.
Standard Tokyo
University student. Shy at first. Loves matcha, temple photography, and her friend Saki.
Soft Kyoto
Retired fisherman. Gruff but warm. Three grandchildren and a wife who cooks too much.
Hokkaido rough
Luxury hotel concierge. Speaks only keigo. Graceful, polished, quietly formidable.
Formal keigo
Sushi apprentice. Intense and passionate. Learning from Yamamoto-san since age 18.
