iPal is a modern form of Pen Pals, and is basically an application that allows you to practice a foriegn language you have an interest in with a student who is profiecent in that language and you can help the same student in the language you are proficenet in.
This works by first recording the language you are fluent in and the language you are interested in. Then you are placed in our database where we search for a proper match for you. Then we provide a Google Hangout video call with your match, to help you talk and chat at the same time.
