Our Story

Meguro English Conversation Club started in 2005 as a small weekly meetup in Tokyo's Meguro district. A handful of language learners and bilingual locals got together to practice conversation, and the group kept growing from there. Two decades later, it includes students, professionals, teachers, and people who just like talking across languages.

The idea behind the club was simple: language practice shouldn't require a paid course or a formal classroom. Conversation, repetition, and a bit of patience get most people further than they expect. That same idea shaped what we built next.

In 2025, we took the club online with Meguro English, a free Japanese-English translation tool. It's built for the same people who showed up to those early Tokyo meetups: students working through Japanese text, professionals handling cross-language emails, travelers reading a menu or a sign, and anyone who needs a quick, accurate translation without creating an account first.

The tool stays free, with no premium tier and no ads on the translator itself. The translation engine is built on real conversational text rather than only formal writing, which is why it tends to handle everyday phrasing, not just textbook sentences.

Today people use Meguro English from Tokyo to Toronto to São Paulo. Most new users find us through word of mouth rather than ads, which is the kind of growth we'd rather have anyway.
