We strive to be the best exchange platform for serious language learners

Equal dialogue between language partners; Will always be touched by William's patient answers and sharing. Ailsa Living in Hubei

What I love most about the Tokimonki platform is you get to learn and get the encouragement of practising with a community. Having regular session times and people who consistently show up for language exchanges has made me slack less and I've noticed my oral conversation skills have been steadily improving, which otherwise would have slipped now I'm busy with work etc. The beauty of being part of a community is you don't have to worry about your language buddy 'flaking' because there's always someone ready to pair up and practise with. It's honestly the most smooth and consistent language exchange group I've been a part of, and I can already see myself sticking with it throughout 2025 and beyond! Jack Gelabert Living in Sydney

I get to talk to interesting people and learn their culture and current situations. I'm also impressed with the foreigners who speak and understand Chinese more than I do. Evelyn Po Living in Manila

Tokimonki is an amazing language learning platform! It's a safe place to learn languages with other people with a lot of help and resources. It also gives you the freedom to choose how you want to practice: whether it's guided discussions or having your own personal topics you want to practice talking about. It's a good way to support yourself and other language learners on their language learning journey. Vincent Dang Living in Houston

The pairings and people on the platform are great! Learning a lot and it is overall very engaging. Kevin Young Living in Porto

I really love language exchange calls on Tokimonki because: 1) There are always people to practice with, so you're never stuck on your own. 2) It's super flexible—you can talk about anything you want, like daily life, or use the question/topic guides on the tokimonki site, which makes chatting with new people more structured and keeps the conversation flowing. 3) It works for any level because of that flexibility—no one's going to push you into talking about something difficult if you're not ready. Overall, I really like this platform! It's super easy to use, and I always pick up new words and expressions in every session. Mary Living in Milan

I appreciate the opportunity to practice my speaking skill. If the time allows, I would definitely join again. Le Anh Dung Living in Hanoi

We can talk to persons from all over the world. I enjoy the conversation exchange activities. Andrew Living in Shenzhen

1. Creators are passionate about language exchange and language learning, which shows in the amount of effort put in during the language exchange sessions and the tokimonki platform itself. 2. There are so many cool resources to use on the tokimonki platform! I love trying out different oral guides and reading guides. I have yet to try out their video guides as well. 3. The language exchange has generally been an overall super fun experience for me. I've enjoyed getting to know people from many backgrounds and having engaging discussions with them while learning new vocabulary and improving my Chinese language fluency. Thank you so much for creating the platform, you all should give it a go. Anchalee (Sara) Living in Koh Tao

A good platform for me to expose myself to an English-speaking environment, and get more practice to build my confidence speaking with others at work.

I like that people here are helping each other with language skills, Thank you Will Mary Jane Living in Kaohsiung

This platform has been a great resource in my Chinese proficiency journey. The hardest part of learning Chinese for me was not having the ability to practice speaking or have my questions answered - especially since I live in an area with no access to other Chinese speakers. This platform has provided consistent and quality language exchange with native Chinese speakers that I can rely on. It's also very casual and a low-stress environment where you can make mistakes. Highly recommend if you're interested in a fun way to quickly improve your language skills and usage. Melanie Miller Living in Norfolk

我现在能经常跟母语者联系我的英语，很棒。 William定期支持举办活动, 非常nice, 质量非常高! 希望能一直办下去。在这里学到了一些很地道的、专业的词汇, 简单罗列其中一些: People are sitting there with their popcorn 吃瓜, Not natural 不自然, Feminine 女性化, Show business 娱乐圈 Kins ye Living in 长春

我不仅能提升中文水平，更能学习母语者实际使用的词汇！ Mariana Living in 麦德林

The workbook materials themselves are formatted in such a good way, very timesaving and they take the edge off practicing speaking. After learning Chinese for 4+ years, I've tried every app and language exchange out there, but I was quietly hopeful about tokimonki and it didn't disappoint. I came away with so many native expressions and slang or ways to express my own speech more naturally that would've taken me months to get from hello talk or other language partner apps. Looking forward to Tokimoni's progress~ Kate Ingram Living in Newcastle

在加入这个社群之前，我正苦于寻找英语口语老师，然后突发灵感，想到了一件事情——既然有我这种想学习英语口语的人，是不是也存在着想学中文的外国人呢？于是我开始寻找，一开始加入进来就是看中了这个平台最核心的优势：创始人拥有双边渠道，能接触到想要学习英语的中国人和想要学习中文的外国人。这个平台非常的干净，没有其他的跨国社交平台的一些奇奇怪怪的内容，还有主持人掌控会议的局面，是我见过最优质的语言学习平台！而且这个平台每周都有固定的参加会议的时间，也让我能够更方便的安排自己的事情以便参与其中。我已经参加了两次交流活动了，我认为这对我学习英语有很大的帮助，至少现在我会在遇到不认识的单词的时候立马查询它的意思，并且尝试造句。 蔡雨柔 Living in 北京

I love being able to meet different people from different cultures and backgrounds while improving my Mandarin simultaneously. My goodness it's been roughly 3 months of using this platform and the Compass altogether, and I was able to confidently speak in casual conversations with my CEO at work. 🥹 Tokimonki really helped build my confidence in handling conversations, and it’s nice to make some friends here too hehe 😁🫶🏻 Rianne Chua Living in Manila
