- 1). Begin your search for a Vietnamese pen pal by visiting an online pen pal directory. Web sites such as MyLanguageExchange.com provide listings of Vietnamese pen pals looking to improve their knowledge of English, learn about your culture and teach you about theirs. If you are studying the Vietnamese language, this is an excellent opportunity to practice.
- 2). Browse through the directory's listings. Read their descriptions and see if there is anyone who shares your interests. The key to starting an excellent and long-lasting pen pal relationship on the right note is to find someone with whom you have something in common.
- 3). Send a message to your potential pen pal. You will want to write a little about yourself and why you are interested in them as well as in Vietnamese culture and language.
- 4). Wait for a response. Hopefully, you are well on your way to a rewarding friendship. If a response is not forthcoming, don't get discouraged; simply look again, or post your own pen pal listing.
