Foreign Friends Nearby

Decide where you'd like to meet first.

How Foreign Friends Nearby works:

1. Pick your neighborhood

Choose yours in Seoul, Incheon or Busan. We don't collect your location, so there's no permission prompt. You can see how many people are in each area, or open "All areas" to see everyone at once.

2. Your language match comes first

It's a list, not a deck to swipe. There are no like or pass buttons. People who can teach the language you want to learn — and want to learn the one you speak — appear at the top, marked "You can teach each other".

3. See the profile, then request a chat

Check their nationality, the languages they speak and want to learn, their Korean level and introduction. If you'd like to talk, send a chat request. Chat requests use hearts.

4. Translate when you're stuck

Tap a message in chat to translate it, or turn your reply into their language before you send it. Translation uses points.

Start with a neighborhood, then take your time.
