Why people star this repo

2. Correct your English — grammar, spelling, word choice, punctuation, expression
3. Teach something new — a useful phrase, grammar tip, or more natural way to say things

Designed for non-native English speakers who want to improve their English through real daily use rather than textbook exercises.

Features

• Categorized corrections (Spelling / Grammar / Word Choice / Punctuation / Expression)
• Adapts to your level — focuses on basics for beginners, naturalness for advanced users
• Tracks recurring mistakes and highlights patterns
• Rotates learning content: idioms, grammar tips, advanced rephrasing, common mistakes
• Friendly tone — like a helpful coworker, not a strict teacher

Example 1

You say:

dose this work for practice my english?

Claude responds:

(answers your question)

English Corrections:

dose this work for practice my english? → Does this work for practicing my English?

[Spelling] "dose" → "does"
[Grammar] "for practice" → "for practicing" — after "for", use the -ing form
[Punctuation] "english" → "English" — language names are always capitalized

Example 2

You say:

His has a great time yesterday.

Claude responds:

(answers your question)

English Corrections:

His has a great time yesterday. → He had a great time yesterday.

[Grammar] "His" → "He" — "His" is possessive, "He" is a subject pronoun
[Grammar] "has" → "had" — "yesterday" indicates past time, so the verb should be past tense

Example 3

You say:

I look forward to meet you and making a discussion about the project.

Claude responds:

(answers your question)

English Corrections:

I look forward to meet you and making a discussion about the project. → I look forward to meeting you and having a discussion about the project.

[Grammar] "look forward to meet you" → "look forward to meeting you" — After "look forward to," use the -ing form (gerund). The "to" here is a preposition, not part of an infinitive.

[Word Choice] "making a discussion" → "having a discussion" (or simply discussing) — In English, we "have" a discussion or "hold" a discussion — we don't "make" one.

Phrase of the day: "get the hang of" — to become comfortable with something new.
Example: "I'm starting to get the hang of English prepositions."
