Can villagers drop family letters?

Most villagers will be so busy, they may find it hard to drop their family a letter. If that proves to be the case for your child, you will be able to learn about your villager’s experience by checking our website for Language Village updates describing their experience.

Do villagers receive mail?

They can also communicate with you by mail, so encourage them to do so. Villagers receive their mail at a specified time each day.
