In English, "pen pal" (also spelled "penpal") is a friend you communicate with mostly through writing.
Since one of the best ways to learn a language, or to retain your knowledge of a language, is to communicate with native speakers, I thought it would be nice to start a thread where people can find a native speaker in a language they'd like to practice more often, and become pen pals (through PM or email).
I'll start: I would like to find a pen pal who speaks fluent Spanish. I'm learning it now. I like Japanese animation and comics (also known as anime and manga, respectively), I love languages, enjoy the art of film and animation, have a casual enjoyment of music in various genres and styles, and both read and write a lot of science fiction and fantasy stories. I'm thinking of becoming a film-maker or screenwriter, in addition to writing prose fiction and comics (both of which I'm already doing, though not in a "professional" capacity) and considering translation, editing, or journalism as my "day job". I'm currently enrolled in college in the U.S. I also have a somewhat geeky interest in dub acting and collection of animation cels and Japanese figurines and action figures (they make some really pretty ones!).
If anyone shares similar interests and/or a similar love of languages and speaks fluent Spanish, please respond!
I'd really like having a pen pal!You can contact me through PM, or through my Studio's email, StudioYokai AT gmail.com
