Welcome to Students of the World.com

Make penpals and friends here.

Pen pals (or penpals or pen friends) are people who regularly write to each other, either through email or real postal mail. A student penpal relationship is often used to practice writing and reading in a foreign language, improving literacy, to learn more about other countries and life-styles, and just to reach out and communicate with a fellow human being.

Students often look for pen pals so that they can learn about other cultures and foreign languages. It can be neat to make friends in far places and talk about similar and different penpal life experiences you have. Perhaps someday you will even meet a distant penpal from another country when you are older, or you will have a place to stay with your pen friend when you travel.

Online dating often comes out of penpal relationships, but you must be careful and keep it safe. You should not meet up in person without close parental supervision and planning.
