My daughter wanted to practice her English with other children her age. She found several pen pals. Ma fille voulait échanger en anglais avec d'autres enfants de son âge. Elle a trouvé plusieurs correspondants .

This is the only site that I trust to find new penpal friends. I’ve tried so many others that are odd or aren’t as thorough with screening. I love it so far.

I’ve been using this site for a few months now and I’ve really enjoyed it! I’ve met one of my best friends from Iran on this site and we still talk to each other, as well as one of my other friends from England! While I do use the free version of this website and there are certain limits that come with it, I’ve really enjoyed my time on the website and I will love to continue meeting people on it. I love making friends!
