Improve your writing skills in your target language with a Pen pal
You may remember having a pen pal when you were a kid. You were matched up with a kid your age from another state or a foreign country and exchanged letters through the mail. If you were lucky to get a pen pal from another country, you got very excited to get a letter from abroad with foreign postage stamps.
Whether you realized it or not, this was a perfect opportunity to practice your foreign language skills. If you find a pen pal that speaks the language you’re trying to learn and that is trying to learn your language, you can help teach each other the language.
If you are between the ages of 11 and 19 and want to find a pen pal that you can exchange letters with through the mail, you can get a pen pal through the Student letter exchange. They have been around for a very long time and can fix you up with a pen pal from all over the world.

With a pen pal, you can practice your language skills and build a relationship with a new friend.
