I will try Grammarly...

I have Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge.

What else ? :)


I use firefox, the browser, and Grammarly as an extension, so it corrects your spelling as you type when you are replying to these posts, etc.

I haven't used "Microsoft Edge"., but I am sure Grammarly has an extension for it too.

Tell me if you get it working.

There is an app/program called "Grammarly".
It is a spelling and grammar checker.
I suggest you get the free version first and try it out.

What computer system do you use?
Windows?
What browser?
Firefox, Explorer?

This is Grammarly for Windows:
https://www.grammarly.com/native/windows
I don't know if it is the free version.


Do you know a little bit about French or about another langage ?


I don't know any French, but I know a bit of German.
I can use the translator if you need to write in French at times.
Do you know other languages?

I practiced a lot of langages in the past, but it was by unconvenient method... like German and Russian, a little of Arabic (very very little bit ) and also, trying to know more about my native langage...

But I stopped... I really want to become an expert in French for the moment. But I need to practicing English a lot more.

Hello.

I might find your helping convenient for me. I try to work on some things, but I have difficulties.

What do you like ?

What difficulties are you referring to?
Something more than language-related things?

I am interested-in/fascinated-by human psychology.
I'm also interested in evolution.
I had a brief look at philosophy, but I am an amateur.
Up until recently, I was interested in politics.

I am involved in gardening, at the moment.
The growing season has started, so I need to get the plants in the ground quickly.

What about you?
Apart from languages, I mean. ;)

BTW, did you get "Grammarly" to work for you?

Cheers...

Hello.

So... I like foreign languages, but recently, I was unable to write some English text. I progress notably because I know what are my mistakes. Yes, despite I don't know how to correct some sentences, I succeed to recognise my difficulties. But I can't explain these ones because I have also some difficulties. But... I can do a lot of things in English. Yes! I tried for three days, recently about how to use a program in Japanese. I will also create a document about the wonderful and superb programs which I use.

I have a great memory, but recently, not really, or less. I don't know why, but I think that can be a bad sign for my memory.

I am trying your program. Is it usefull for langage, but I have supposly another program named Antidote... so... I will trying to make working this one before yours.

Ah...

If you want, I can explain how to use some program, that would be a great exercise for me. I want to practice for the future like a teacher.

Have you spoken to a doctor about it?
I have *always* had a bad memory.
It has always made my life difficult.

I had a quick look at Antidote.
It seems very similar to Grammarly.
It is probably best to stick to just the one, I agree.
