Actually haven’t encountered any weirdos on here!!! Not being an optimist. I really mean it. That’s because (1) you can change settings so that only people of a certain gender can talk to you. Not tryin be sexist, it’s just the only way sometimes to best avoid people who get the app ONLY to flirt and find an online date. ALSO there are settings that help you find a penpal who has similar preferences as you in terms of if you want to send real letters or just chat online. Me and my penpal are now really good friends! She speaks the language that I am learning which also has helped me to learn a lot more of my target language. Plus, I am learning real culture from a real person instead of out of a textbook. I’m bein so forreal. Love this app thanks so much guys!!!

I have used multiple pen pal websites but Global Penfriends has the best layout and system to connect people with their ideal pen pals. Since I could customize my searches down the the small details, I was able to find friends in several countries who share similar interests and goals with me, and it was easy to keep track of our messages and letters. This site is a secure and user-friendly place to meet interesting and kind people from all over the world. Just have an open mind and you’re sure to find wonderful pen pals.

A nice way to find others who want pen pals. I've found a few people who we share messages with and learn about each other. Mostly in English language.
