A CIRCLE OF SENSEIS

Another person.
Another way to see the world.

Not everyone here is a teacher. They're people with their own stories, interests and perspectives—and a little time to share.

Meet people from around the world. Come for a shared interest, a different perspective or simply an enjoyable conversation with someone new.

FOR THE CURIOUS

Follow your curiosity.
Meet someone new.

Explore Senseis by their interests and personalities. Get to know their stories, and choose someone you would enjoy talking to. Captions and language assistance help you along the way.

Start with something you’re curious about.

FOR THE STORIES WORTH SHARING

Be yourself.
Be a Sensei.

Give someone a glimpse of your world—your interests, everyday stories and point of view. You do not need to be a professional teacher. Be curious about theirs, too.

A short online interview is required before you become a Sensei.

TWO LANGUAGES. ONE CONVERSATION.

Less searching for words.
More getting to know someone.

Live captions help you follow along. Speak in your own language and translate a phrase when you need it.

A shared interest
Original Japanese

休日は、よく喫茶店に行きます。

English translation

On my days off, I often go to cafés.

Your reply

What makes a good café for you?

どんな喫茶店が好きですか？

Your words, translated

Say it in your language and follow its translation.

Illustrative conversation · not a live call

Speak in your own language

Translate a spoken phrase into your partner’s language.

A real person on the other side

Their interests, their stories, their own point of view.

A SIMPLE WAY TO BEGIN

From “hello”
to “same time again?”

  1. Find a spark

    Explore conversation profiles. A shared interest is often all you need.

  2. Make a little time

    Choose an available time and review the duration and price before booking.

  3. Let the conversation happen

    Join your call, follow the captions, and see where your curiosity takes you.

ONE SHARED INTEREST IS ENOUGH

Who will you
meet next?

Meet someone whose everyday looks different from yours. Start with a question, a story, or something you both love.
