I originally signed up for this site out of boredom, and I've never expected to make such good friends on here! All the people are very friendly, and they respond quickly most of the time! The only thing that kind of bothers me is that you can only see your last 5 active conversations, unless you pay. Other than that, it's amazing!

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

I always wanted to try penpalling but didn't know how to find penpals,until I saw some recommendations for Global Penfriends. I personally think it's really safe with some aspects in the website.
