I love the concept of the websites: meeting new people and the slow exchange of emails, it gives me time to think more deeply in an answer. I laso love that I can talk with someone who has a diffrent culture to learn more about it

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 have met a couple people to message with on the app, I just have not met anyone who is willing to send postcards or letters yet. Hopefully soon.

If you don't want to pay, you can use the basic version quite well. However, 20% of other people's profiles are blocked.. But that's a fair price for the free version. I appreciate the ability to record sent and received letter mail.
