Language exchange with real people in your city

How it works

1

Tell us what you speak & want to learn

Pick the language, your level, and your free days. No profile photo, no bio to write.

We match you with 5 others

A balanced group of six — always with native speakers of the language you're learning.

3

We book the place. You show up.

We tell you when and where the night before. Walk in — your table is already waiting.

Built for introverts too

Small, low-pressure groups. No spotlight.

You don't have to be the most extroverted person at the table — most of our members aren't. Groups are kept small so everyone feels comfortable taking part.

  • Always 4 to 6 people. Small enough that listening counts as much as talking.
  • No icebreakers, no games. A friendly café and a real conversation. That's it.
  • Always a public, easy spot. A cosy café or bar near you. Easy to find, easy to leave.
  • One pace, your level. Beginner or fluent — we balance every table.

“I had such a wonderful time at my first Furamori meetup. I met friendly folks from different backgrounds, and the conversations just flowed naturally. The groups are small enough that there's no pressure. I'll come again!”

“I tried twice to practice my English and I had a great time both times. There were no awkward silences, and it was interesting to meet people from different backgrounds.”

“J'ai essayé deux fois de pratiquer mon anglais et j'ai passé un super moment les deux fois. Il n'y a pas eu de silences gênants, et c'était intéressant de rencontrer des gens d'horizons différents.”

“This is a great platform. You're helping loads of people cope with loneliness in this fast paced, isolated world, which is something I admire and respect. Thank you for creating it. The world becomes small once we start connecting with people, and Furamori helps us do exactly that.”

★★★★★

“Felt at home from the very first session. Small group, kind people, and a real reason to keep practising French every week.”

“初回から本当に居心地がよかったです。小さなグループ、優しい人、そして毎週フランス語を続ける本当の理由。”

★★★★★

“I'd lived here for years and wanted to make new friends. Furamori is a relaxed way to meet people, and I prefer the smaller groups since the conversations go deeper.”

“Je vis ici depuis des années et je voulais me faire de nouveaux amis. Furamori est une façon détendue de rencontrer du monde, et je préfère les petits groupes car les conversations vont plus en profondeur.”

LucasParis
★★★★★

“I'd tried apps for months and barely improved. One session at Furamori taught me more about how French is actually spoken than weeks of solo practice.”

SophieParis
★★★★★

“I love how mixed the group is. Native speakers from different countries, plus learners. Every session feels different.”

“グループの多様性がとても好きです。いろんな国のネイティブスピーカーと学習者が一緒です。”

SoraParis
★★★★★

“As an introvert, I was scared at first. But the group is so small there's never pressure to perform, only to listen, smile, and try a few words.”

“En tant qu'introvertie, j'avais peur au début. Mais le groupe est si petit qu'il n'y a jamais de pression, juste écouter, sourire, et essayer quelques mots.”

FAQ

Quick questions, quick answers

Can I join even if I'm not fluent?
Yes. You don't need to be fluent. We create groups with compatible levels so everyone can have a good experience and take part comfortably.
How do you match people?
We balance every table around your target language and level, always pairing learners with native speakers. We aim for a friendly mix so each group has the right energy and everyone gets to practise.
I'm nervous about going alone or meeting new people.
We understand! We carefully nurture a respectful, open and kind culture, and do everything we can to make sure you have a great time. You might meet your next best friend, a basketball buddy, or the person you'll binge your next series with. Why not give it a try?
Can I bring a friend?
Of course. Send us an email with their name and the session you registered for, and we'll make sure you're in the same group.
What happens if there aren't enough people for my language?
If we can't form a balanced group for your language, we'll let you know in advance and offer you an alternative session or a refund. Because of demand you might not always get a seat, but you'll get priority for the next session as long as you register with the same email.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No. There are no exercises or materials to prepare. You'll find clear instructions in the app to help you find the venue and join your group.
How much does it cost?
It's €5 per session. That covers your seat and our hosting — you only pay for your own drinks & food at the café.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Yes. Cancel up to 48h before your session and we'll move your seat to another one, or refund you. After 48h, refunds aren't possible.
What languages do you support?
Right now we support French, English and Japanese. More languages are on the way — sign up in the app and we'll match you when a table forms.
How can I reach you?
Email us at furamoriapp@gmail.com or message @furamori on Instagram. We're happy to help.
