A great way of improving your foreign language skills is writing to foreign friends in a foreign language 
For me this is the ideal way to practice my French writing, as you know by know, writing the French words is all but straight forward.
Now how do you find international friends?
Well, I started my own little International Pen Friends website at Asian Dating Online, with at this moment more than 500 members to choose from
If you want to have a greater choice and really look for international pen friends worldwide, you can go to WorldFriends.tv with over has over 1,200,000 members and over 600,000 photos!
Have a look and start practicing your foreign languages with international pen friends. You not only learn a new language, but even more important you will be able to learn a complete new culture!
I was quite surprised to get to know somebody from Tahiti who shares quite a number of my personal habits He really teaches me the real French you were never taught at school! And he is quite cute as well

I’ve tried improving my Spanish with pen pals who were native speakers, one of them I met on worldfriends. It started out well but most of the pen friendships faded for my Spanish is so bad it takes me forever to write a simple email in Spanish.

@Chatteress
Thanks for your comment and since you live in Tahiti, you are right on topic
I agree: writing a pen pal letter just takes up too much time to be fun, you need to find some decent chat were people are patient and want to help you out improving, that’s a fun way of learning a language I find

Hi it’s me again. Though I don’t mind people thinking I’m from Tahiti, just to set the record straight, I’m actually from Haiti, in the Caribbean
