What our members say

My first language choice to learn has been quite the challenge to find a willing participant in wanting to truly help me to learn. Yet in the meantime I have discovered my love for languages and being able to share part of what makes me a unique individual in America all while soaking up the various histories, cultures, languages, dialects, and traditions.

I love being able to connect and form genuine connections with anyone from anywhere! This site is the safest site I've used and feel most comfortable using compared to other pen pal sites. I do wish we got more than one contact credit at a time though! (I feel 2 would suffice)

This is a safe meaningful way to communicate across the world. I have learned so much and taught others so much about life as a whole!

Pros: -A focus on the written word and genuine connections -The built-in waiting period for sending contact information is a good idea for keeping things safe -There's always new people joining! Cons: -search filters are bit restrictive sometimes Overall, it's definitely fulfilled my desire for having a penpal! No major complaints :)
