Description:

It's a second issue of 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~!

The longer the letter is, the more fun will probably your reciper have to read it ;) But it doesn't have to be a long letter. I think one page or even a half page is enough.

And this time (it was no mentioned in first issue) please add something as a surprise present (something cheap, like a postcard or bookmark) and also... a leaflet written in YOUR native language! So you have to write a letter in your reciper's language, add a small item and a leaflet in your native language (if it's hard to find a leaflet in your place - because for example you live in a small town - you can add piece of newspaper or even print something from the internet! Just some text written in your native language).

DO NOT use Google translator. It's really an annoying thing. Do not get too ambitious - it's a swap made for fun! So you can find in the internet pages even how to write "My name is John" in Chinese or Suahili. You don't have to use Google translator.

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. DO NOT FORGET TO 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).

PS: Jeśli jednak jesteś Polakiem i chcesz wziąć udział w wymianie, napisz w komentarzach, to chętnie "zaklepię" jakiś inny język, na przykład chorwacki :D

I love the idea of this swap and I´d really like to join, but I´m on holiday in the swap time. I just wanted to let you know that it´s great.

Aleksis 04/ 7/2011 #

Lol, and when do you come back? I can change it ;)

Korean is my native language. As I told you, I love this idea :)!!!! In this time, I will study hard...!

why can't we use google translate, may I know? XD.

Aleksis 04/18/2011 #

You may use Google translator to translate few words, but not the whole sentence. It's just too full of stupid mistakes you wouldn't make. For example, try putting my sentence in Polish to Google translator ^^

Ugh, but my letters would be messed up that way with language, too... but since it's only in 2 languages... I'm joining in♥ My language is Indonesian~ And must the receivers accept the letters in April 30? Or it is the date we sent the letter? Sorry, new to this kind of event, XD.

Aleksis 04/19/2011 #

People can join until 20th and you have to send to 30th. But don't worry - the last date will probably change since writing 2 letters in foreign language you don't know within 10 days is unbeliavable ;)

I'd love to join but since I'm going away for easter I wouldn't be able to complete the task in time... hope you'll make a 3rd edition some time in the future!

Aleksis 04/20/2011 #

Of course I will ;)

Llriczhya 04/21/2011 #

one more question! Can I write using pencil?
