Lang-8 Member
I’ve done it! I’ve joined Lang-8. I couldn’t help it. Everybody has been raving about it, so I thought, you know - I should give this a try. I wrote my first entry this afternoon about an interesting animate / inanimate verb problem that was discussed earlier at Victory Manual. Within 2 hours I had 2 revisions completed for me, with easy-to-follow markup. I can see who changed what and everything. In short: this site’s hype is well deserved. This seems like it has great potential as a learning tool. I went ahead and corrected 2 or 3 other people’s entries in English to embrace the spirit of the site. Anyway, I wanted to welcome you to join and be my friend. Also, I’ll be adding a small banner on the left side for the site. Cool stuff. I kinda wish I’d joined earlier. Ha ha.
UPDATE: Doh! I’d be a fool not to point you to Koichi’s post about how to use Lang-8, and also his video review of the site. (If you look at the Lang-8 questionnaire right now, loads of people are mentioning these posts. Nicely done, sir.)
