Storypal is a safe space for international cultural exchange between students
Make genuine global connections
Since 2017, Storypal has been providing an online platform for K-12 schools to conduct safe, fun, and meaningful international cultural exchanges.
Currently, over 4,000 students from South Korea, Sweden, Vietnam, Kenya, Mongolia, Ethiopia, Russia, Israel, India, Indonesia, the United States, and 32 other countries are using Storypal to make friends all around the world.
As of May 2022, our students have exchanged over 8,000 letters under the supervision of their teachers.
Get feedback from professional coaches
Our coaching team is made up of language teachers from around the world, dedicated to helping students get the most out of their exchanges.
Storypal Coaches can help with things as complicated as grammar or as simple as keeping the conversation alive.
Every Storypal Deluxe Hub subscription comes with feedback tickets students can use to get a little help when they need it.
Hear from happy teachers
“My students all love the penpal project with Storypal! They waited for the class time and got excited for letters they received.
56 middleschool students of mine exchanged letters with middleschool students in U.S. last year. My students learned and practiced English in meaningful context. In addition to language learning, they learned different culture.
I highly recommend Storypal to your students!“
SOUTH KOREA
“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Storypal team for the valuable assistance you’ve given me.
I truly appreciate the support and the networking contacts, the time you spent to help me.
Thank you very much for your patience and encouragement. It helps me to feel more confident.
I believe it’s a great experience both for me and my students.
They say: ” Wow! We have friends on the other side of the planet! It’s really cool!”

“When I started using Storypal five or six months ago, I stopped longer wasting time joining Facebook groups or looking for teachers for penpal exchanges. I have met teachers from different parts of the world. All I have to do is to choose the teacher whose students’ age is the same or almost the same as my students’ and then match my students to his or hers.
To put it in a nutshell, Storypal is a good learning tool that I highly recommend for my fellow teachers to make use of in order to meet the curriculum standards. Thanks Storypal!”
