I've gotten to know some really nice people, and I'm learning a lot through messaging. I'm really enjoying it.

I love this website since I can easily find so many penpals! It’s easy to use and pretty safe which is great. The only thing I don’t like are the ads when using the site for free!

I love the overall safety on here. I have never been contacted by anyone outside of my preferred age group and I feel like it is the perfect level of anonymity considering that we are all strangers who want to find a penpal. I do wish however to some day be able to stay in contact with more people without buying anything. I would also love to add more profile information regarding hobbies and other topics of interest. I would also love appreciate a language learning swap filter (for example, I want to learn Spanish and therefore would love to teach a person who knows Spanish my native tongue). Other than that I’m quite happy and I actually like how there is no app to directly contact people 24/7, since I feel like the whole point of having PenPals in 2026 is to not be available all the time and instead rewind for your new friends what happened over a span of time.

This is a special way to search for new people, to have new friends or, as I did, to learn or improve a language.

it's nice to find friends from another country, especially through letters! (there's also other way if you dont want letters) it's so exciting

A reliable site that is straightforward and easy to use. It clearly states that it is not a romance or dating site which I definitely appreciate.
