This site helped me find some really great people - I have an actual penpal now! I can connect with folks across the world and practice my French!

Thanks to GetAPenPal, I've been able to find some awesome new penpals that I absolutely cherish. It's been my best - and favorite - penpal experience to date! I love being able to communicate in a safe manner without having to provide my address if I don't want to, all while still getting the 'snailmail' experience. It's an all-inclusive community, so it's perfect for everyone.

GetAPenPal helped me in a lot of ways. From improving my English, to meeting, chatting, and learning from people all over the world. The community there is all positive, and I don't remember having a bad time browsing it.

Here are a few answers to the most frequently asked questions
We are still in the process of building up our database. We are looking for early adopters to join our database for free.
Once we hit a solid number of users we will start charging a small fee every time you want us to match you up with someone new from the database.
It can take 1-7 days. It depends on the volume of requests we get. As we grow the time will increase as well since we are manually matching people up.
There will always be weirdos and creeps on the internet. We do our best to filter out these people and provide our users with a nice experience. We don't ask for your personal information. In that sense it is as safe as it can be. We connect you via email and the rest is up to you.
Our database is still rather small so it might be difficult to find a match for you. Also please consider that we are doing this in our free time and it can be overwhelming sometimes.
