I've been surfing on this site for a week and I really think that it's a great site to improve English, (in my case) or any language. People is very kind and they correct your entries in few min. You can made friends and learn about other cultures too. What's the bad point? You can practise listening or speaking. And sometimes native speakers only correct grammar mistakes so although your text is technically correct it don't seem to be real English.

Yeah, i know what you mean about correcting only grammar. I am guilty of doing that myself, but the main reason I focus on correcting grammar is because I'm afraid I'll confuse the person or make learning more difficult for them. I am just hoping once they get the grammar down, they can then move on to sounding more natural/native. If you dont find those kind of corrections confusing or too hard, let me know and I will correct better for you. Good luck with your learning English...Chappy ;)

Ok!! Thanks for the corrections I'll try to have that on my mind in the next entry. And thanks for your help. I agree with you, sometimes is best to correct grammar mistakes and then correct the mistakes related to be more natural. If not, it may be very difficult to beginers :)
