Would you like some Japanese penfriends?

[loveskyliemole]

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:

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.

[LittleFallenAngel]

Hello.^^
I just saw the topic you made.
I think its a great idea, And I won't mind having a younger penpal.

I'll send you an e-mail soon.

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.

[LittleFallenAngel]

Okay.^^
That would be even more fun^^.
Hai, that would be great *smiles*.
Teehee, Sounds like a great plan you got there *huggles*

[BakaCrisis]

Awesome! and I can do the same! This will be a wonderful Experience

[Kayci]

sent a PM.
I'm interested :]

[Jamaru]

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!

[KikiBunny23]

I'm interested but I have one question...what language would the letters be in?

[loveskyliemole]

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?!
