To introduce yourself to Japanese pen pals, you must be polite and know the correct things to say.
First, use polite terms like 貴様 (kisama).
Then ask how are they doing.
Like this..

こんにちは。
嘗めとんのか、貴様


き‐さま【貴様】

[代]二人称の人代名詞。

1 男性が、親しい対等の者または目下の者に対して用いる。また、相手をののしる場合にも用いる。おまえ。「―とおれ」「―の顔なんか二度と見たくない」

2 目上の相手に対して、尊敬の気持ちを含めて用いた語。貴殿。あなたさま。

・ 「―もよろづに気のつきさうなる御方様と見えて」〈浮・一代男・一〉

◆中世末から近世中期までは文字通り尊敬の意を含んで用いられたが、それ以降はしだいに尊敬の意は薄れ、近世後期には現代とほぼ同様に用いられるようになった。

The current usage is not the same as the original meaning anymore.
Are u sure you wanna use this in your introduction to penpals?
They may not even know the original meaning.

冗談か、皮肉かもしれませんが、間違った事を教えないように説明したいだけです。(間違ったより、現代の使い方と離れているだけです。)

What do you mean by "baby fall down and get up and walk and that's why they are walking"..?
I don't get it. xD

why ppl learn how to walk is because during baby days...

they try, they fall, they get up, they try again and they walk...

so don be afraid of falling, most impt is getting up when u fall and try again... :D

they are abit expensive though... try to get it from Japan...


keke... but seriously i love their language a lot :(
