Description:
Hello there, welcome to my first swap ;) I decided to open quite a simple swap: you would have to write a letter to two people in their mother language. It will be probably language you don't know, but there are many language sites in the internet so you can try hard to write something down~! And your reciper, as receives your letter, can reply you saying how many mistakes did you make (but it's his free will). The longer the letter is, the more fun will probably your reciper have to read it ;) Please, no English Native Speakers. We all know (almost all, I guess) English quite well, so there won't be much fun. Also, one person per language allowed. I take a place for Polish language. Write in comments which language is your native. If you have any questions - don't hesitate to ask me (either write me a private message or in comments). As I said, this is my first swap so I could forgot to write something.

I'm a native English speaker, but I can speak French very well (or so people tell me). Could I join this swap under French? ;u; It sounds so fun!

This looks like fun, but it might be difficult to write a long letter in another language...What if it was Japanese, or Russian or Greek? :D

Anyway, if you would consider hosting a postcard version of this cool swap, I'd love to join. But I'm watching this one for now. (Oh, my mother tongue is Kapampangan. Thanks!)

Yes, same question as @revolutionaries - English is my first language, but I'm also fluent in Hungarian. Can I join for Hungarian?

Aleksis 03/ 8/2011 #

@ revolutionaries and Emika Yeah, well, I guess you can if it's just like your second language (Hungarian... sounds difficult ^^)

@ Aria I don't mean a long letter. Just one page, maybe more. But, as I said in destription, the longer letter you try to write the more fun will your reciper have ;)

Lithuanian taken! hope do not get Japanese or Greek... Russian is ok to me! :))))))))

Emika 03/ 8/2011 #

Yay! Then count me in for Hungarian :)

revolutionaries 03/ 8/2011 #

Please count me in for French as well. :D I would love to write a letter in Russianâ€”I've been trying to learn the alphabet for years but I've never had the time or chance to practice, so that would be lovely for me!

I'm a native Swedish speaker, and a linguistics student, so I'll try to do this with the help of reference grammars and dictionaries if possible!

the idea is cool! My mother language is Korean :)

iswallow 03/16/2011 #

Sorry, i need to drop this swap - i will be not home during swap time ;/ maybe next time !

Please don't use an online translator to write to me if you don't absolutely have to! It's more fun with human mistakes than with computer mistakes.

Aleksis 03/22/2011 #

Exactly! There are many self-learning pages in the internet (I use one to learn Japanese) and it's better to translate word by word yourself that use Google translator.
