It is a mutual written language correction (website/social network) SNS.
What is a SNS? Social network? Just say that if so because we don't use SNS in English as far as I know ^^;
For example, if you write an entry in Japanese, then a Japanese person will correct it.
(You can also say: "For example, you can write an entry in Japanese, then a Japanese person will corerct it.")
You can also correct entries written by people from other countries in English. conversely
There are a lot of people from various countries.
We are all helping each other.
Let`s make the most out of our lives.
I want to learn to speak English well.
I love Lang8 and my foreign friends too!
Yeah, I love too.
How would you describe the Lang-8 to someone?
It is a mutual correction social networking site.
Not many people are familiar with the acronym "SNS" (I've never actually seen anyone use it outside of Lang-8!). Most are fine with using the term "social networking site" in full.
For example, if you write a journal entry in Japanese, then a Japanese person will correct it for you.
Conversely, you can have your English language entries corrected by native English speakers.
People all over the world use the site.
And we are all helping each other.
Sounds less awkward if you connect this with the previous sentence.
Many famous people come from humble backgrounds.
"Some" implies that most celebrities are born into fantastic lives. I don't think that's really the case...
I want to become proficient in English.
If the grammar or the nuances in my writing are incorrect, then please correct them.
He bought me a toy because he was a generous person.
He bought me a toy because he was generous.
This is fine. "Was" can indicate equivalence (a generous person) or a characteristic (generous), among other things.

People say this, too.
I let him down because/with of my bad presentation.
