Post your first paragraph for correction

On HelloTalk you post a short text in French and native speakers correct it, line by line. Write about your weekend.

HelloTalk is a free language-exchange app where you can post short texts (Moments) that native speakers correct. Write a paragraph of about 60 words about your last weekend, in the past tenses you know, and post it there (the model is written by a man: a woman writes je suis allée). When the corrections come in, read each one carefully and reply with a thank you.

Your partner is a learner too, so mistakes are expected on both sides. Ten minutes of real conversation teaches more than an hour of worrying about it.

An example you can adapt

Bonjour à tous ! Voici mes premières lignes en français. Le week-end dernier, je suis allé à la mer avec ma famille. Il faisait beau, mais l'eau était très froide. Nous avons mangé du poisson dans un petit restaurant et nous sommes rentrés tard. Vous pouvez m'aider avec mes fautes ? Merci !

Hello everyone! Here are my first lines in French. Last weekend I went to the seaside with my family. The weather was nice, but the water was very cold. We ate fish in a little restaurant and came home late. Can you help me with my mistakes? Thank you!
