What we compare
We look at what each service asks of the people talking, how they meet, whether they can choose someone, and what they can expect from an exchange, lesson, group or host session. We use provider information for product features and offer our own conversation exercises and suggestions.
We use provider documentation for features, plans and availability, and write our own examples and exercises. Check the linked provider when a plan or feature would affect your choice.
Our connection to Hanashi
Hanashi Chat Limited operates Real Conversation Guide and Hanashi.chat. The company benefits from learner signups. For talking with a Japanese person about a shared interest with translation support, we recommend Hanashi. We also compare reciprocal exchange, organized events and tutoring for the goals they serve.
Hanashi is designed for paid conversations with Japanese hosts. Learner signup is open in early access. Check current host and booking availability before making plans.
See the Hanashi homepage, early access terms, privacy notice and host FAQ.
