Learn to Construct Japanese Sentences: From Native Speakers!

  The biggest goal of learning Japanese is to attain a native level grasp on the language, right? Then what better way to reach this goal then to be taught by someone who is actually living in Japan? With an internet connection, it's entirely possible to have the help of hundreds of native speakers, and the best part is that it's free!
   
   The amazing site I have in mind is Lang8. Lang8 allows you to write a journal entry in the language you are learning (your "target" language), upload it for everyone (or just your friends) on Lang8 to read and Lang8 provides tools for native speakers of your target language to correct and comment on your journal. There is also a function on Lang8 that allows you to save these corrections as notes so if someone gave you a really great correction or taught you something new, you can save it to your notes so you can review it and memorize it. 

   I've been using Lang8 for a little over two months now and I highly recommend it! The community is friendly and eager to help you out, so no need to feel shy. I suggest you sign up right away, because if I've learned anything from Smart.fm, it's that great free to use sites like Lang8 have to be taken advantage of while they're still free!
