This site is a great place to start out if you’re new to penpaling. I’ve had great interactions and made my first pen pal via this site. It’s easy to communicate and connect with others, and the policies are great for keeping everyone safe. I highly recommend if you’re looking for easy navigation, tons of options and a safe website.

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)

As a teenager I had 14 penpals from all over the world and I absolutely loved it. Now being a widow and having some free time on my hands I thought how wonderful it would be to have New penpals from around the world to write to that was my main reason for joining this wonderful Site.
