Hi, everyone!
Does anyone know a good website where you can write in your target language and get feedback from native speakers?
I used to love writing in my target languages on the website Lang-8. I'd publish a piece of writing (a book review, poem, blog post) and native speakers would correct it, and I would correct their writings in English in exchange. It was a fantastic site because it was very active, the users were serious language learners, you'd get a ton of corrections, and it was free. Unfortunately, it shut down about six years ago.
Recently, I've been wanting to dust off my writing skills and am looking for a website like that. Do you know of one? Thanks!

Journaly is a great one. Native speakers can give in-line corrections and there's a lovely community there. It's fairly young still, so not every language will get as many corrections. It's worth checking out though!

There are Write Streak subreddits on Reddit where you can get writing corrected. Of course its hit and miss about the kind of feedback you get (and may not have your language if its a less common one) but its an option.
