Adults 18 and over. This room is not a product for minors. A profile that cannot pass the liveness check is not opened for a public hello, and a stranger cannot write first.

You join as yourself: a name, a photograph, the languages you actually speak, and a reason written in the open — friendship, language exchange, or a slower kind of dating. Brand accounts, stand-ins, and profiles that are not finished stay outside the room.

It is a short presence check that a living person is holding the device at that moment. It is not a still photograph, and it is not a recording held up to the camera. It does not score a face, and it does not rank appearance.

It answers one question: is someone actually there? The moment is read before a stranger can reach you, and only as proof of presence. If the check cannot be completed, the profile is not opened for a public hello.

No. The service is not designed to sell member data. A conversation you write to one person does not spill into a public feed. A report is handled by people, not placed in front of a crowd.

On a first visit, this page may ask ipapi.co once for a country code, only to choose the language of the interface. If that request fails, the browser language is used. A language you choose by hand is stored only on your device. What another member can read is the profile you finished and chose to show: your name, photograph, languages, and the reason you came.

A stack of faces rewards speed, not judgment. There is no public swipe feed, no leaderboard of faces, and no prize for answering first.

The front door is small on purpose. You choose a city and an interest, read a profile that is finished, then write one hello about the thing you actually noticed. A good first message can be a single sentence. A hello from one longitude to another is allowed to take an evening.

Yes. People come for friendship, to practice a language, to ask about a city, or for a slower kind of dating. These are equal reasons to be here. None of them has to be explained as the lesser one.

Intent is written on the profile before either of you can speak, so a mismatch can be declined without a conversation. A thread can also end with a clear goodbye. Staying, and leaving kindly, are both manners of the house.

The interface is ready in English, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, and German. That is the language of the page itself. On a first visit it is chosen from your country, and you can change it by hand in the menu. A manual choice stays only on your device.

The language of a room is a separate matter. You list the languages you actually speak, and the other person can see them before writing. A match is someone who can meet you in one of those languages, not an automatic translation switch. Write the hello in a language you both really use.
