Forum:Language Practice Wiki

I started the Language Practice Wiki on scratchpad.

The idea is to help each other practice writing in another language, annotating other user's writing to help them better understand the language they are practicing. It also can include other information about learning languages.

Is anyone else interested in this idea? If so, please comment, or start editing the wiki. --Teaandcrumpets 16:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I am not sure if it's going to work (if there will be enough people willing to check other people's writings), but if it does, it will be very helpful. Will homework and Wikipedia article translations be accepted? The idea needs to be developed a little - what happens with the pages after they have been annotated, will they be deleted, or could they be useful for other people trying to learn the language - it's possible, but not always. Maybe pages with different FAQs and tips and exercises can be developed from the questions and answers on the talk pages and from the mistakes made by people, so maybe this could be the main function of the wiki. Often people will have only a single question, and not a whole article they want checked. A wiki is a great way to collect Q&A's in FAQ lists though. --V111P 16:46, 13 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I like the idea. The help I can provide is limited, since I'm fluent in only one language.  If something like this gets started again, I'm willing to help people improve their skills using English.  I don't usually correct language mistakes unless requested, or if I'm already editing the page for other reasons.  It would be great to have some help when I try to learn and write in other languages!  -- CocoaZen 15:42, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
