    Hi there,
    I recently realised that my English is getting a little rusty now that I'm out of school and don't practise as much anymore. So here I am searching for a penpal to write in English with (preferrably a native speaker). I'm not looking for lessons, I just need a motivation to read and write English regularly to fight against those holes in my brain that cause the "blank" sign when I'm searching for a word. (And of course, I'm happy about corrections, too.)

    Maybe a few things about me: I'm from Berlin, but moving to the Netherlands soon for my studies (linguistics). 19 years old, language addict (--> linguaholic, so to speak), into unicycling and juggling (but an absolute beginner), I'm quite a "sunny person" and love laughing, but I'm also interested in "deeper discussions". Oh, and if you do get me into a discussion on an interesting subject, you're in trouble because I won't let go! ;)

    Anybody interested? Please pm me, I look forward to replies.

    Rain

    isn't that a value of an English language forum?

    Yeah, I know, but I guess I need the motivation that there is somebody waiting for my reply and not an anonymous mass of people... Besides, I would prefer writing snail mail. Real letters are just not comparable to internet communication.
