About Me :)
At first glance, when I joined the page this website and I saw many persons people from all around the world, and that motivated me a little as I did not feel myself capable of helping others with my language; although I am native, I am not a teacher of my language! But I was wrong, and helping people with my native language has been much easier than I imagined.
With italki, I've been able to communicate with many people from different parts of the world which I never thought it was possible to have a conversation with; , from China, Japan, Germany, and the United States. I´ve been able to practice my English and, surprisingly, speak German too. I´ve been able to communicate simply, because, in the end, we are all persons people who have the same interests— learning one or various languages.
----------
Saying "persons" is not wrong. However, native English speakers do not use this word in normal conversation or in normal writing. In my experience, it is a very formal word used only in legal or scientific documents.
Be careful with the use of the semi-colon (;). It is only rarely used in English writing. Your first use was not wrong, but it made your first sentence extremely long. Your second use was wrong; a semi-colon is not used to introduce a list. If in doubt, use either a comma (,) or a full stop (.).
I'm not trying to tell you how to use English. Your English is extremely good. However, because your English is already extremely good, I hope my comments will help your English become closer to that used by a native speaker.
