2 Gonzo:I understand that meeting people from chatrooms can be a really unplesant experience, but it's not the rule, there are exceptions and many nice people around!

You think my pictures have nothing to do with learning English? You know what, I prefer to use illustrated textbooks while studying, they make my learning more interesting. I hate those bland text-only books, they make me bored...So why should't I add a  picture to my message? ) I see we can hold controversial debates on this topic here!!

2 Ruslana: As far as I know, it takes about 10-14 days for a letter to get to the States from Russia, but sometimes longer. I remember I sent a postcard from Atlanta, GA to my parents in Russia and they got it after 1 month!! I guess it was a single occasion because there are not any such problems as long as I keep getting letters from my American pals on time

10-14 days? Well, not bad. I thought it might take more time.

Hey, it is fun! I've got a reply! I've never been a big fan of forums but now i see it's not that bad, although i don't want to get overexcited cos one swallow doesn’t make a summer but i'm really glad i got at least two replies  cheers

Oh, i almost forgot. I already said that I'm studing russian and every now and than I have to write something in russian on my computer but it takes ages to grind a few sentences cos the layout of russian letters is completly diffrent so I would really aprreciate if anybody could give me a name or maybe a web link where i could find one of those programs for typing fast on a keyboard cheers

My name is Rodolfo, 26 year. I'm Brazilian. I'm interested in learning about other countries

and make friends too!!.

Hi NatashaSun

In this modern days we can easily get the penpals but the main area of catch is that you have to be smart to choose a friend who not only praise you for all the good deeds you do but he should also tell you your weekness and should help you from getting rid of them.
