I think is a great way to learn more and meet new people but I do wish it was an app. I also with it was easier to do things without credits. The credits really frustrate me a little since I come a family that isn’t big on the idea of contacting strangers lol

Hello from France! I love Global Penfriends as it allows chatting, writing, sending postcards and decorated envelopes, and discovering surprises in my mailbox. I’m a tea lover, and I keep a tea journal where I record all the teas I try. I also enjoy scrapbooking. Right now, I’m making ATCs. I love flat stickers, washi tape, and so on. I’m not picky, and it’s such a pleasure to open my mailbox. Wishing everyone a joyful life! Thank you Global Penfriends

A very good experience for speaking English with children of the same age, it makes you want to learn. Très bonne expérience pour parler en anglais avec des enfants du même âge, ça donne envie d'apprendre.
