Penpal Post pairs language learners in Japan with English speakers. You write the letter. The Translator shows it side by side in Japanese, the Postie suggests stickers and a reply idea, and you choose when to send.
Dear friend,
Thank you for your first letter. My English is still a little, so please be patient. Yesterday it rained, so I stayed home with my cat, Mochi (もち). She sleeps on my desk when I write.
In autumn I like to eat sweet potato. 焼きいも is so good. Please tell me about your town.
From Aiko
アイコより
Your penpal. She’s learning English and lives in Japan. She asked two things:
✓ About your town
✓ What you like to eat in autumn (she hinted)
Keep her questions in mind. In the next stage the Postie turns them into a reply idea.
I read Aiko’s letter. Here’s one idea for your reply:
Here’s your letter with Japanese beside it. I left your words as you wrote them.
Aiko wrote about Mochi and autumn, so I’d try ねこ and もみじ. Your choice, of course.
You To Aiko アイコさんへ
Your letter is on its way. Sample
She writes in English and adds a little Japanese.
Your words, with one reply idea from the Postie if you want it.
The Translator puts Japanese next to each line, with gentle notes.
The Postie marks two that fit; you choose.
Confirm, and the letter folds up and flies to Aiko.
