Lang-8

Lang-8 was a popular language learning platform that provided a space for users to practice writing in a foreign language and receive feedback from native speakers. It operated as a language exchange community where individuals could help each other learn and improve their language skills.

Users of Lang-8 would write journal entries or short texts in the language they were learning, and native speakers of that language would offer corrections, suggestions, and feedback on their writing. This feedback helped learners improve their grammar, vocabulary, and overall writing proficiency.

One of the unique aspects of Lang-8 was its emphasis on mutual learning and community interaction. Users were encouraged to reciprocate by helping others learn their native language. It fostered a supportive environment where language learners could connect, practice, and collaborate with individuals from around the world.

Although Lang-8 was highly regarded and widely used, as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the platform had been officially closed. The website is no longer active, and users are directed to other language learning resources and platforms.
