I'm from an area in the US that has nothing remotely close to Asian language classes, much less Japanese.
So, when self-learning, it became really difficult at times to find a way to test out my Japanese. Sure, I could find penpals, but usually they aren't interested in correcting every aspect of your writing and showing you the proper way to write something.
Enter Lang-8.com
This site's concept is fantastic and extremely helpful! You register for a free account and have a journal. In this journal you can write anything you want, no matter the topic or length, in the language you are studying. Other native speakers of your language of study will come by and give you corrections for your writing.
But where do the magic correction fairies come from?
Indeed. They are also studying another language other than their own and rely on the kindness of others to find and correct their mistakes in their journals. It's like one big circle of giving and receiving.
If you haven't tried Lang-8, I truly recommend it.
