I have a new Japanese pen pal and we have only written in Japanese. I would
like to clarify (in Japanese) that it is ok if she wants to write in English
so she can practice. What would be the most natural way of extending this
invitation？ Perhaps:

> 英語は話しましょうか。

How to let a pen pal know it is ok to speak in English
は is a topic marker, so 英語は話す means "English talks". You have to use
[で](https://www.wasabi-jpn.com/japanese-grammar/particle-de-expressing-
supplementary-information/) and say 英語 **で** 話す ("to talk **in** English").
