What our members say

I really enjoyed this when I was on here 6-7 years ago. I had met a great pen pal and lost touch, but he was a genuine person. Hope to connect with him or someone else in the future

This website allowed me to learn from the people I engaged with; knowing that people come from different culture and backgrounds. The struggles of everyday life and how they are coping with it made me feel I am not alone. Just being there, writing to each other makes one feel that even the smallest things matters….knowing you have a mail.;)

My daughter wanted to practice her English with other children her age. She found several pen pals. Ma fille voulait échanger en anglais avec d'autres enfants de son âge. Elle a trouvé plusieurs correspondants .
