"She is writing to our son."

Translation: Elle correspond avec notre fils.

Is it correct that "Elle correspond avec notre fils" means "She is writing to our son"? Shouldn't it be "Elle écrit à notre fils"?

Actually, if we take only the meaning, it's fine, because the verb "correspondre" means "to have a correspondence with someone".

But I have to agree that I would also translate this with "Elle écrit à notre fils", since there is the verb "to correspond" for "correspondre", and in this specific case, word for word translation would not hurt at all.

That's my opinion anyway.
