This is so sweet! And such a good idea, it should be implemented for more languages!

You son of a chien, I'm in!

Is there one for English? I only speak English but I'm super lonely too.
JustLetMeUseTheAppFFS
There's probably a bunch of discord servers for people Who wanna hang out and chat.

Most elderly folks crave talking to someone, having a chat, bonding. You gave her a gift. In the mean time you gained much too. Good stuff.
desmoquattro
That's delightful. I rarely practice my French where I live today (Alberta), something like this would be fun!
bvbowalrus
That is an amazing program!
Idonotbelievewehavecompany
That is pretty cool honestly
etang600
This should be an app for every language. This would seriously make people in nursing homes so happy
Kodaxmax
it would require alot of moderation
Kodaxmax
which would also require skilled translators

Old people are really really easy to make happy. They just want to talk. Seriously, the effort to make their day is almost nonexistent.
stonebrood
I'd say it's worth a shot but I risk disappointing a helpful old person
IThinkYouGotAFineBrainJack
I can't do this program because I swear I get one kind feedback and I'm dropping my life and moving to France.
BrownAppShaper
I was just talking about learning French now I have no excuse
DanDoesDoodles
bonjour, je voudrais une grand-mère française s'il te plait

You may want to use vous if you’re speaking with the elderly! Just sayin :)
panicpilgrim
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (ce soir)?
TurangaLeelaIsMyMom
I’m going to guess: “Hello, I would like 1 French grandmother, if you please”?
DanDoesDoodles
You would guess correctly
TurangaLeelaIsMyMom
Yea! Guessed solely based on having sung in French a few times 25 years ago. Haha
BlahBlahBlacksheep555
If I remember my high school French: "Hello, I would like a large mother in France who eats yogurt."
Rinny6

I need this my French needs beacoup d’improvement
ImScaredToGiveYouMyRealName
I have such hope for the future because of our wonderful young people!
noxdracoria
That would've been a beneficial program at my Uni: 3 years of classes and I while I can write a solid essay, I can't hold a conversation
houseautumn
Me too. When I did oral exams we had to prepare a speech about something boring - a real conversation would have been way better than that.
houseautumn
So you'd go to France being able to talk about la grippe aviaire or caricatures or violence in schools but not just... chat to people.
noxdracoria
It's like - they can hand me a newspaper and I can read it pretty well, but if i turned on the news I'd be all 'wtf are they saying'
noxdracoria
and if I had to ask someone something and I didn't have a phrase book or time to prepare in advance I would say most of it wrong lol
houseautumn
Listen to the radio in French if you can - it's super quick and it takes time to adapt, but it'll really help you absorb the language.
LateNightBunnyParty
OMG. I want to do this, but with a German grandmother. Ooh! Or Cherokee!

No, it's still for porn, but this is something you do after. ?

So grab your dick and double-click...

iamthecomet
Straight into my wholesome folder.
MrTerror
This is the good to do. Like sending letters to retired vets or people in nursing homes. I love programs like these
tobesmcgobes
As long as they're nice letters, and not ransom notes
misseskitties
Okay guys, since I've gotten a few replies from people who want to do this I am going to get a post together tomorrow of different >
misseskitties
< facilities that would like to receive letters/cards/or drawings!
misseskitties
Especially this year. I work LTC and my residents are SO LONELY because of covid. They're literally dying from failure to thrive b/c of it.
dinosandbostoncreams
Is your LTC home set up with Letters Against Isolation? They organize letters to LTC residences. Different countries too.
misseskitties
No! Do you have more information on this? I would love to tell them about it!
dinosandbostoncreams
I write to some in Canada. Here is the website for more info: https://www.lettersagainstisolation.com/
6313326
I tried to reach out to some local facilities and they never got back me. I figured they were overwhelmed, but do you have any tips?
misseskitties
I also DM'd you!
misseskitties
Look up different nursing homes/LTC facilities on Facebook! I've seen alot of posts about pen pals. They don't *have* to be local.
gracebee123
How can I help? Can I send them letters or call? Honestly, I’ll do it. DM me please!
misseskitties
I DM'd you!
silentsenko
Can you DM me too? I’d love to help somehow.
misseskitties
I did!
