Hi threre,
Let me introduce a great website for learining language.
http://lang-8.com
Lang-8 is a social networking site -- with a twist. Unlike Facebook or
MySpace, the purpose of Lang-8 is learning a second language (or
third, or fourth, ....) while making international friends.
Lang-8 basically works on the principle of "scratch my back and I'll
scratch yours."
The easy 1, 2, 3 method:
1) Make an entry
First, you write something in the language you are studying. Native
speakers then read your post and correct all of the mistakes with
Lang-8's intuitive, easy-to-use langauge correction tools.
2) Native speakers make corrections for you
Natives read your entries because it is quick and easy in their native
langauge and fix any errors you make using Lang-8's intuitive,
easy-to-use language correction tools.
3) Make corrections to other users' posts in your own language
Finally, you read and correct your friends' and other users' posts
that are written in your native language. There are no absolute
requirements to "give back" to the community, but everyone does.
In addition to language posts, Lang-8 has many other cool language
learning features:
- Groups
- Skype sharing options for conversation practice
- A virtual language notebook to "clip and save" things you learn and
share with others
- Tools to add voice recordings to your entries using Snapvine
- Many more on the way
Sharpen your language skills while making friends and exchanging
culture at Lang-8.com!
