Fluency shouldn't break the bank...

But every year:

  • Private tutors and language classes will cost you thousands.
  • Language apps charge you hundreds for AI slop and care more about your "streaks" than your learning.

You want real speaking practice, so you try language exchange, but...

It's almost impossible to find consistent, good quality language partners.

Introducing tokimonki

A place to find serious language partners for conversation practice, anytime.

We turn casual conversations into seriously effective learning experiences.

It's how language learning should be:

Practice with native speakers and learn how real humans actually speak the language, without it costing an arm and a leg.

We invite you to try tokimonki. The first 14 days are on us.

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 GelabertLiving in Sydney

平台提高了我的口语水平,让我有自信去讲出英语 - 这在我留学时曾是难以克服的障碍。同时,从母语者学到很多地道的表达也提升了我的语言能力。每次语言交换的体验都很好,群友们的素质都比较高。董功源Living in 北京
I loved how easy it was to register and get the language exchange underway. William was a great host and welcoming to everyone and made sure the whole session went smoothly. It was great chatting with native speakers in both Chinese and English, so that way we can mutually improve. Look forward to attending more sessions!Johnny XLiving in Melbourne
When matching with native Chinese speakers --> not sure if this is an unspoken rule but I love the idea of typing out the useful words and sentences that has been said so it can be saved later.Tony LamLiving in Rotterdam
