But wouldn't correcting each other be the best way to learn???
I do this with my Uncle and a couple of Japanese friends all the time. Even through email. I will write in Japanese, then I wll also write the same thing in English giving them a sense of what I was saying. They will correct mine and do the same thing but in Englih with Japanese explanation
As far as my experieince goes, people really appreciate foreigners who try to learn their culture and language
