One of the best things with having a penpal from abroad is that you can learn a new language.
Brevweb, Interpals Penpals, eTandem and United Friendship are good sites for finding a penpal in another country.
I remember my last Greek penpal learned me how to say:
Me leme = My name is
Ime apo Suecia = I come from Sweden
Agapaw ti thalassa/okeano = I love the ocean
Kaliméra = Good morning
Kalispéra = Good evening
Kalinichta = Good night
Chére = Good bye
Yásou = Hi
Efcharistó = Thank you
Parakaló = You are welcome
Ne = Yes
Óchi = No
Poo íne…? = Where is…?
Póso káni…? = How much costs…?
Tha íthela = I want
Milate angliká = Do you speak English?
Then miló elliniká = I don’t speak Greek
A few weeks later I got a Portguese penpal who teached me:
Eu soua / Chamo – me = My name is
Venho da Suécia = I come from Sweden
Até breve = See you soon
Escreve quando puderes = Write when you can
Por agora é tudo = Bye for now
De sejo te uma boa semana = I wish you a great week
Boa noite = Good night
Obrigado = Thank you
Como estás hoje? = How are you today?
Olá = Hello
Espero receber notícias tuas em breve = I hope to receive news from you soon
