Free English grammar and spelling help

I have looked at a number of sites that were developed by either non-English speaking developers or ones where English is their second language.

If you'd like your site reviewed for spelling or grammatical problems, I'd be happy to do it for free. I am Canadian so I am well aware of the differences between British (/Canadian) English and American English. I'm not an English teacher but a second set of eyes on your content might catch something.

If anyone else would like to help, feel free to post here too.

    Wow, that's cool that you're willing to help people for free. I think a lot of people would be interested in that. Do you know only English? I'm learning Dutch right now. So far, I have tried to read articles and books using this dictionary https://www.amazon.com/Dutch-Frequency-Dictionary-Vocabulary-Dutch-English/dp/9492637340. But I don't think that's enough. I don't know how to approach learning a foreign language correctly. I have no money for a private teacher or courses. But I'm trying to figure it out on my own, even though it's pretty hard for me. It would be good if you could help me with this. Maybe I should take a different approach?

      Parisian French is my second language, but I rarely have used it in the last 20 years so have fallen out of full use, but I get by. My dad was a native Dutch speaker but didn't teach it to us in the mistaken belief that when he immigrated here to Canada, we'd be better off with only English.

    Great initiative. I'm struggling with my son who's learning English and has issues with his vocabulary. He made some great advance with the help of apps and sites like https://englishlinx.com/common_core/ who were able to assist him with learning the basic of the language. Now I would like him to focus more on his vocabulary and writing skills. He will not be able to study in the UK if he doesn't know English at an academic level. I would hate to spend money on his first year in such an expensive part of the world for him just to learn English while he can do it now.

    This is a great idea! Thank you @antarctican 😊

    (British) English is my first language so I'd be happy to help as well. Feel free to post on here or email me directly.
