I am a 26 years old engineer who is extremely interested in Japanese culture and language. I studied three years of Japanese when I was still in high school. Ever since then, I have been doing a lot of self-studying. Now I am able to watch Japanese TV program without any subtitle; however, I feel that my conversation and writing skills are still lacking. I am hoping to improve my language and my understanding of Japansese culture through exchanging emails with a Japanese penpal. If you are interested, please send me an email.

Hi,

I'm a 21-year-old guy from Finland. Bascially I am just looking for people to talk to every now and then, or exchange mails, or whatever works for you.

I'm not necessarily looking for people from Japan, doesn't really matter where you're from, as long as you're around my age (+/- few years). I suppose I can talk about pretty much anything. We can either use e-mail or messenger, or both if need be.

So, if You are interested, feel free to contact me.
That's all, thank you. ;)
