Hello,

I need to find a site I was using some months ago - it was blue and I could write in a whole variety of languages, and then people would correct my writing. It was a nice system and I'd like to find it again. Thanks

That sounds like Lang-8.

I should point out that you can only write on lang-8 in a whole variety of languages if you pay for the premium account. If you use the free account, you are limited to two languages. There seems to be no such limit on the free account at Italki, but Lang-8 currently has way more users than Italki does at this point.

I'm still torn at the moment about which one to use.

Just change the languages in your profile if you want to write in a variety of languages.

I found Lang-8 yesterday and it seems really useful.

Also, isn't Italki more for talking?

Italki is a place where you can meet people, set up language exchanges, chat, and they also have a service where you can find tutors/language teachers that charge low prices.

But they also have a free feature where you can post your writings and get them corrected by native speakers, just like lang-8. That is what I am mainly interested in.

I guess Lang-8 solely focuses on writing correction, while Italki is an all-in-one website: writing correction, language exchange, chat, lessons, etc.
