About

Users write journal entries in the language they are studying, and native speakers correct their writing in exchange for corrections on their own entries. The platform supports dozens of languages and has built a large community-driven exchange model that makes authentic writing practice accessible and free. Lang-8, Inc. also operates HiNative, a Q&A platform where users ask native speakers questions about language, culture, and pronunciation. Together these products serve millions of learners worldwide seeking practical, human-corrected language study.
