New Printable. But travelers are born innovators. Many are refusing to let the pandemic crush their bucket lists, flocking to virtual museum tours and "skipping the line" for Disney rides via YouTube. But what about those of us who travel for connection?
All you need is a new pen pal. It may be a blast from school days past, but the pen pal world is still around. And now, these pen pal-matching platforms are more relevant than ever. All of the platforms have safety guardrails in place to foster high-quality international friendships — some offer texting or video-chat services, while others encourage handwritten notes. Here are seven pen pal platforms to maintain cross-cultural connection while practicing social distancing:.
Compatipal unites like-minded people for digital conversations about everything from football to food. This platform is a newer entry to the pen pal world; it focuses on shorter and more immediate communication no hand-written notes and offers instant messaging through the site.
Compatipal users can search for people based on interests and location, and also form groups to build digital community around shared interests — business, arts, travel, language learning.
The site is free to use and accepts members from anywhere in the world. Practicing a new language with a native speaker is one of the best ways to build cross-cultural friendships — and Conversation Exchange makes these connections possible, even during a pandemic.
The global language-learning platform allows users to choose from over different languages, from English, Mandarin, and Arabic to constructed languages like Esperanto, and even Ancient Greek and Latin. So you can customise the type of pen pal you want to be based on how you like to write to people:.
I find the most personal connections come from snail mail because a lot of time, care and attention goes into sending a handwritten letter. But you can still develop deep connections with people using the other two as well.
Pen pal websites have replaced the magazine and newspaper advertisements that Nona and Alice used to find their pen pals 72 years ago. There are now opportunities to connect with hundreds of like-minded people who want to share the language learning experience with you.
Many people join these sites purely for language learning. Lots of independent language schools are connected to a local community and may be able to connect you with people in that community to become pen pals. Your normal junior, middle or high-school may also have connections with a student exchange program for language learning. These often come with the opportunity to connect with other students in your connected school as pen pals. This can be a scary task because you want to express yourself well and make a good first impression.
One of the great things about the CEFR language framework is that the levels progress in the same way as getting to know someone would. Many conversations start around these topics anyway. Ask questions about their life, take an interest in who they are and talk about the things that matter to both of you. Mention something funny or memorable that happened, or describe the food or the ambience in some detail.
