Good idea, I totally agree with your view. Speaking with native speakers is an effective way to improve English; for this reason, I�ve been thinking of seeking a pen friend. But, it�s hard to find a native speaker who has sufficient patience to keep reading our poor English articles, unless, of course, you pay for them. Why don�t you try another way? I used to post my views on some bulletin boards where people would automatically argue with me. In addition, you should select some controversial topics in order to occupy people�s attention.
Hope that helps

Hello to both of you!
I guess I am one of those rare people that you both speak of; I have about 20 different penpals and I enjoy helping them all improve their english or french.
If you are interested, I am more than willing to help you!
Yours truly, Megan Very Happy

I agree, it is hard to find alot of people with patience to talk to someone who does not speak their native language, but there are plenty of us who do like it.
I have been teaching for just a little over 3 months, and I love it. I have three students of my own. They are from Japan. Cool
I have just registered on this, so I am open to discuss anything you people would like to talk about.

Have a good day Laughing

Corresponding is useful not only for learning foreign languages but also for looking through our own cultures.
I'd like one to discuss each culture Wink
