Spanish penfriend modern equivalent?

[TopCatsTopHat]

My DS is in year 7 and learning Spanish. I don't know Spanish having done German and French myself and finding it a bit of an uphill battle without any real opportunity to use the language.

I was wondering if all the technology available now whether anyone knows of any meet a foreign child for language practice opportunities where both kids get to practice their foreign language (so Spanish child would get to practice English and vice versa)? Kinda like a penfriend idea but a bit more real-time than snail mail ever was?

That is, I can't help ds as have no Spanish knowledge to speak of... and I found language learning an uphill battle without the chance to use it and would like to help him have a better experience.

Bump?

Would something like this site work for you?

My daughter has weekly conversation zoom call with a Spanish pupil of similar English ability - they are given conversation topics etc. It’s called Spellian and organised by the (state) school. We may have had to pay, not sure but it’s going well.

Thank you!!! Thanks so much I will explore both those options. 😊
