Well, it's impossible to make friends with everyone in every country!:P But participating in forums or blogs, or even having your own blog can help you a lot:) Being a "fan" of Facebook "fan pages" which you know interact in English can help you too:) Reading their status, reading people's comments, and even writing your own comments:) You can also search for pen-pals abroad:) There are many pen-pal's sites on the internet:) Chat rooms are also good to interact with people while learning a language:) Good luck, Mavis!:)
