Find a French pen friend

Having a French pen friend is a great way to improve your written and colloquial French. Plus it will give you a real boost in confidence to know that you can be understood by a "real French person"!!

I have listed below some of the better known French pen pal sites. However please check out the sites carefully and as with any online chat sites:
