Lang-8
Come on people, do try to update some more >_<
I'm absolutely enamoured with the lang-8 site. If you're into languages, and like to pracise your language, join it! And especially, if you're native French/French-Canadian, you can join and finally get a chance to correct my french :D
I think I mentioned the site before (or did I?), but I will go into some more detail now. The whole idea of the site is that you create a profile (very unceremonial thing, just name-native language-target language, age, sex...) and have a journal. You can write whatever in your journal, use it as a diary or review stuff or whatever, and you write in whatever language you want. If you are learning Japanese, some Japanese people will see that someone has written something they can correct, and they go to your journal. When you correct, you can overline text, mark things in blue and red, and add words, sentence by sentence. And write just normal comments, like on a blog. And you can add photos to posts and regulate who can read them.
The site is mainly for Asian languages (and Asian people learning English), cause it was created by a Japanese person, but there's lots of other people there too. Quite some Russians, very many people who study Portuguese, some French, etc. And it's just Beta, so it's not perfect yet and still growing. But SO useful! I have like 4 Russians who correct every post I write and who gladly comment on whatever silly things I write.
Join, and add me, I'm tricours as always ;) lang-8.com
