LangCorrect

I thought I'd share this neat site I signed up to yesterday. LangCorrect is a newish site with a pretty simple principle: you maintain a journal in your target language (and can optionally provide a translation in your native language underneath), and other people can come and leave corrections to help you improve your writing skills (as well as, you know, leaving the normal kinds of comments people might leave on personal blogs). When you log in, your "dashboard" is full of posts in your native language, so you can easily browse and help other language learners with the language you're native in, too! Then there's also a "friends" tab, which I suppose would be particularly helpful if you have some language exchange buddies to trade tips with. The interface is all really clean and pleasant to use, and overall I just think it's a genius idea.

Because the site is new, I'd assume that some languages have more traction than others. Spanish is a fairly widely-spoken language, so in the day since I put up my first post, I've had three lovely people come by and offer feedback. Judging by the native languages of the people posting in English, Japanese and Chinese like they'd be pretty good languages to practise there, too. But if your target language is something obscure, it might not be the most useful website just yet. But of course, the only way for the website to become more useful in more languages is for it to grow, so… if this site sounds interesting to you, I encourage you to go out there and help it grow :)
