Great way to practice languages.I’ve improved my language skills and met friendly pen pals. Sometimes it takes time to get replies, but overall it’s a good experience.

I originally came to this site in search of an Irish or Scottish penpal. Instead, I was contacted by a very interesting gal in Toronto, Canada! We wrote back and forth by email for over a year.
