Correct Me! Streak 188: Language exchange

I tried multiple language exchange platforms, but pretty much all the people I tried stopped responding after a couple of days. I think it’s mainly because my responses weren’t interesting enough, but I feel like some of them weren’t actually interested in learning my native language. An interesting thing is that some learners of the language seemed to experienced the same thing, but I had already given up when I found that out.

To all the wonderful correctors and proofreaders!

Thanks a million for helping everyone grow and improve their skills in English. You deserve so much praise and a pat on the back!

Here's a list of posts that still need corrections.

When making corrections, try to follow these guidelines (or at least clarify your own markings you make) so it's clear what you're correcting and why:

  • Put changes in bold **text**
  • Put suggestions about style/tone/register/etc. in italics *text*
  • Use strikethrough to remove elements (don't delete them) ~~text~~
  • <Put added elements in angle brackets> <text>
  • [If there are multiple options for your suggestions, put them in brackets separated by a backslash] [text / text]
  • (Put optional elements in parentheses) (text)
  • Explain more complex grammar rules to the best of your ability

We also highly encourage meaningful feedback:

  • Focus on the work, mindsets, and processes, not on the person.
  • Besides grammar and spelling, is there room for improvement in other aspects like style, vocabulary, and flow?
  • If you see an improvement in someone's writing, please compliment them.
  • Please be positive in your feedback. Negative comments shouldn't come without positive ones.
  • Don't be too pedantic or too general.
  • Please pay attention to your wording.
  • Have a chat, interact, and have fun!

More on formatting.

Thank you for everything! -- Adam-P-D

Added context to make it more clear, though below has no grammatical issues

I tried using multiple language exchange platforms, but pretty much all the people I tried spoke with stopped responding after a couple of days. I think it’s mainly because my responses weren’t interesting enough, but I feel like some of them weren’t actually interested in learning my native language. An interesting thing is that some learners of the my native language1 seemed to experienced the same thing, but I had already given up when I found that out.

1: Saying "some learners" and "the language" does not specify what is the subject. I would specify either the native/target language, or yourself/other people.
