Would you like some Japanese penfriends?
こんにちは, Please let me update the information here: <Jan.2011> Anyone would like to exchange Valentine's day cards with Japanese kids, Please LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE HERE(your age and where you live but DO NOT leave your mailing address,phone number or anything like that) I will PM you our school address later. <Nov.2010> Now we are looking for penfriends/penpals for exchanging xmas cards with a small gift and some pictures for fun! Especially if you are studying Japanese at school,it would be great if you could ask your teacher if she/he is interested in this. If you think this sounds fun then LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE HERE and I will answer to it. So other people can read and know what's going on here;) then after, I will send your our school address and all that! My students are 4-11 years old. They can understand when they "hear" it in English, but they just started learning how to write and read in English recently...so I'd like you guys to write for them very simple (but fun!) message with neat hand writing!(some letters we received in the past... it was too hard to figure out what they wrote... it was like a puzzle) and I have another idea, my students are very small, but most of you guys are teenagers or over... so... if your class (Japanese or Social study or something)at school want to exchange letters to learn the language or cultures and stuff with Japanese students, I will go and talk to some of the highschool or junior high's people if they are interested.(It has to be some kind of a school/class project, not for indivisual) If you are interested, what are you waiting for?! Just leave your message and tell us a bit about yourself. The kids will read your messages too ;) Have a good day everyone:ywave: (I will be back on Wednesday, on a holiday for a while!;) ) ------------------- (01Apr2009) We had many letters from all over the world, thank you everyone! I passed all the letters to the mothers and children, and they were supposed to write back by now, but I found out some of them haven't... Some of the student finished our school, so I won't be able to help them anymore. I am sorry if you haven't received any letter from any of our students. At the moment, we are only looking for penfriends who are actually coming to Japan this year. We have actally met one of our penfriend!! That was great for everyone. We are looking forward to meeting more of our penfriends from all over the world. If you are coming to Japan, want to make Japanese friends & want to know more about japan before leaving your country, please pm and tell me about yourself and your plan(coming to Japan) . If you ARE in Japan, you are welcome to write to us too! (2009) Hi there, We have got enough penpals, thank you very much for your letters. We received about 30 letters! Now the kids and their mothers are working very hard to read&understand your message and reply to you, but it's not easy for them to read&write in English,so I hope you don't mind waiting for their letters for a little longer. At the moment, we are not looking for "penpals", because we received a lot already. However, if you are planning to visit Japan, we would love to hear from you and welcome you to our school! Please PM me directly if you are visiting Japan! Here are the original message I typed before: (May 2008) Kon ni chi wa. I work at an English school in Japan. We have 30 Japanese kids who would love to have penpals from all over the world. If you are interested, please pm me first and tell me a bit about you. then I will give you our snail mail address, then start writing! At the moment I received more than 50 pms but received actual letters just 20 of them. so you still have chance to have Japanese penpals! We really think this is a very good way to learn the languages and the culture, so we want only people who can actually write to us. just exchanging emails is the easiest way, but not the best way sometimes. It's very easy to get bored!Don't you think? Exchanging actual letters with photos, some little gifts... are more personal and funner! Imagine when you find an airmail in your mailbox? I got really excited when I got a letter from Australia for the first time! That's the reason why I went to Australia to study English 3 years later. and also... If you are a student, please ask your parents if it's OK to join this penpal thing. because you need some postal stamps for sending letters overseas. Our students: (b)=boy (g)=girl underline=found penpals already 11~12years old (all boys) 1)Kazuya loves baseball and anime 2)Tatsuya loves games and anime 3)Masayuki loves anime and enjoys making a short cartoon stories 5~7 years old 1)Yuna(g) loves American cartoons such as Dora, Strawberry Short Cake 2)Aina(g) loves everything her sister Yuna loves! copies everthing! 3)Reiki(b) loves CARs! has many RC cars.Wants to be a F1 Driver! 4)Sho(b) loves to be #1! went to Australia to study English for 1 month with his mum in May. 5)Kanon(g) loves CareBear. wants to be a doctor in the future. 6)Nodoka(g) loves playing with her friends, very active(genki) girl! 7)Rei(b), good friend with Nodoka. 8)Ayamo(g) loves Totoro! loves animals! very cute kid. 9)Kento(b) can play piano very well! under 4 years old 1)Mikito(b) he is the most genki kid in our school. loves cars! 2)Michika(g) she is the most genki kid among girls, loves frogs! 3)Shinoe(g) she understands and speak a lot of English with her sister at home too. 4)Ayano(g) she just started learning English at our school. 5)Kaede(g) she is a very quiet girl, but loves drawing and she is good at it for her age 6)Sefa(g) she loves KAWAII (cute) stuff, loves fashion! 7)Eri(g) she loves to dress as a princess! and their mothers also want to make pen friends all over the world! they are in their 20s and 30s. |
I am very interested, I will be emailing you soon. Thankyou!
Do you prefer a PM or what is your actual email address |
Hello.^^ I just saw the topic you made. I think its a great idea, And I won't mind having a younger penpal. Though I will be 17 about a month and 2 weeks.. I'll send you an e-mail soon. ~LittleFallenAngel -LFA- |
Thank you 2 !
Maybe "P.M." will be easier for me, thanks;-) My students are all great, you will love them too! By the way, they want to exchange snail letters not emails. maybe we can exchange some little gifts? each time we sending letters? In Japan, we can buy anime-related items, such as stickers...cos many of animes are from Japan(as you know), so they can send some to you, if you can send them something special from your countries(you don't have to spend your money and buy them, but maybe something you have already or you can make a present too) they will love it. |
Okay.^^ That would be even more fun^^. Hai, that would be great *smiles*. Teehee, Sounds like a great plan you got there *huggles* |
Awesome! and I can do the same! This will be a wonderful Experience
|
sent a PM.
I'm interested :] |
I'm interested wat email address do u want do u want my msn hotmail or other email (aol) ill give it u in PM yay !JAPAN!
|
I'm interested but I have one question...what language would the letters be in?
|
The languages used in the letters are JPN and ENG
Since my students are learning English, I want them to use English as much as possible, but they are only kids like, 4~12 years old. and their mothers would like to write too, but they are just beginners. but I will help them to read your letters and translate them into Japanese, if you write it in all English, You are more than welcome to write in Japanese as much as possible! Maybe we can be teachers and students for each other and correct our letters into right or natural Japanese/English?! |
I'll PM you :)
|
That sounds interesting, I'll PM you later.

Hi everyone, Aligatoh for your messages. Please pm me with your self introduction. We are going to exchange snail mail (reguler letters) so it will cost us some (postage/airmail), so if you are students, I would like you to ask your parents if it's OK to start exchanging letters with our students. OLOR="SeaGreen"][/color] |
Thank you everyone!
Thank you everyone for pming me about the penpal thing. We will let you know as soon as we receive your letters! but please give us a few weeks to write back, because reading and writing letters in English is not easy for any of my students, so it will take some time. If you can send us some photo of yourself, we will send our photo too! Hope we can be good friends(penfriends) and hopefully we can actually meet someday! We are going camping this summer, if you are interested, just come to Japan and join us! |
I thought I had sent you a PM, but I am not sure anymore if I did. please let me know?
|
Id like to make friends with them too though there is a big gap between us...lol.
|

|

We will send you some anime or something very Japanesy stickers or latest magazine of manga, games or something like that. have a good day everyone |

Yes I showed your letter to them today! and they are also excited, but they told me that it will take a week to read your letter, because they are also a beginer of English. I am going to help them next week to start writing back to you. Yes, the mothers are interested in Fashion (they are late20s and 30s). Are you interested in Japanese Fashion?if you are, we will send you something reated to "fashion" thing. (usually reguer Fashion magazines are thick and heavy and it will cost us a lot of postage, so we really appreciate if you could send us those fashion magazines but please be careful with the weight, don't spend too much money for the postage for us!) by the way my sister is in fashion business for a long time, she lives in Tokyo worked for Prada, but now she works for chloe now. If you have any chance to come to Japan, I will introduce my sis to you. have a good day!:ywave: :rheart: |
Ok!

My mother-in-law cooks some of my meals and even gives rice when serving a meal based on pasta, bread or potato. With 6 people in this house we go through two family sized rice cookers of rice a day. My husband had bread and rice for lunch. They love their rice. It is really good though. |
