About

Tomotomo

Features
Read full description

Tomotomo is a language app where you learn to hold a conversation by actually having one — with a character friend you made yourself. Japanese, Korean, English, Chinese. Pick the language you want to learn, then create a friend who speaks it. Every friend gets their own language, speaking style and level. ■ Learn by chatting From beginner to advanced, talk with a friend pitched at your level — the way a real conversation goes, not a drill. ■ Any line you don't get, explained Tap the ⓘ beside your friend's message for the translation and the words picked out of that sentence. Keep the ones you like with a single tap. ■ Review what you saved Flip through your saved phrases as cards. They're kept separately for each language you're learning. ■ On your device, with no internet The conversation runs on an AI inside your phone. Download the engine once on first launch and you can keep talking on a plane or underground. Nothing you say leaves the device. ■ Free points every day The first time you open the app each day, points are on us. No ad, no connection needed. The app's own language switches between 한국어 · 日本語 · English · 中文 whenever you like.
