Language Pen-Pals


Recommended Posts

So according to some, having language pen-pals can count for creativity hours. How? Basically, what you have to do is find someone who is doing IB somewhere else (outside of your country of residence), and talk to them in a language that you are not fluent in. In this case, us IB students can use our language B to fit that criteria.

The only requirement is that you conduct your email entirely in that foreign language, and that person will reply to you in their foreign language (one in which you can understand of course). The emails should be set about once or twice a week for about 15 minutes, depending on how free you are. However, you'll notice that if this is continued over the course of your two IB years, then you would have 1) accumulated 26 creativity hours, and 2) studied/ improved your language B for the course.

So what do you have to do? Below in this thread, include:

1) your name

2) your IB language B

3) the languages you are able to speak fluently

4) your contact details (fb link, twitter, etc.)

--> only if you wish to

Hope to see some participation!

Hola Cindy! Me llamo Christopher. Soy estudiante en la segundo año del programa Bachillerato Internacional. La lengua que ya estudié durante el año pasado fue el español! Ya recibí un "7" en mi examen de bachillerato, y estoy buscando una persona de mi nivel y edad para practicar. Si quieres, podemos escribir cartas electrónicas a la otra para practicar!

Om du söker nâgon som kan bode Svenska och Engelska som sina modersmâl sâ kan du lika bra skriva epost till mig.

Bare PM mig om du är dessutom intresserad.

If you are looking for someone who knows both Swedish and English to a native level then you might as well write me an email.

Just PM me if you are in that case interested.
