    What was the makeup of Egyptians for? [4]

    Behind the makeup especially well sophisticated of the Egyptians is hidden a therapeutic aspect.[1]
    The makeup often has a hidden therapeutic effect. Especially sophisticated types like the Egyptians had.[1]
    In fact, they had good reasons to use their products <s>however</s> although potentially toxic.
    Ancient Egyptians applied kohl <s>apply</s> around <s>ancian egyptians</s> their eyes served not only for aestetic purposes / was not only aesthetic function [2] but it also had [3] <s>owns</s> therapeutic properties.
    And what's more surprising<s style="color: rgb(187, 187, 187);">,</s> is that this property is due to the presence of lead<s style="color: rgb(187, 187, 187);">'s</s> salts.
    Except that in medicine <s>medecin</s>, everything depends on the quantity. Collecting some makeup stored in ancient pots, a researchers' team discovered a tiny amount of lead<s style="color: rgb(187, 187, 187);">'s</s> salts. The salts of lead create the production of monoxide azote <s>by</s> in cells skin<s style="color: rgb(187, 187, 187);">,</s> and stimulate an immune response.
    They think that this kolh prevents <s>the</s> eye infections, which is common / that it would be very frequent in the marshy areas of the Nil.

    1) I would rethink this sentence altogether since it is hard to digest and understand. I learned one important skill that I think to this day is highly valuable. That is to simplify my thoughts and break it down while trying to express complex ideas in a language that I still learn not très bien.
    2) this part of the sentence is stiff and it's necessary to rephrase it.
    3) infinitive of have (avoir) in past perfect tense - has/had

    4) I've noticed that you place a space between a word and a symbol sometimes, for example, "What was the makeup of Egyptians for ?" -> don't want to nitpick yet this is an incorrect format in English but I believe that it is pretty common in French. I'm not sure that this is the case but I'll try to search for some grammar rules on this if there are any at all.

    Thank you for the interesting read, I'm really impressed by how much your write and it actually reminds me to do the same.

    Je vous souhaite une excellente journée!

    Amazing, there is a place where corals survive/adapt to <s style="color: rgb(187, 187, 187);">resist to</s> global warming!

    According to WWF, corals house twenty-five percent of marine life.

    Additional commentaries:
    You did great, aside from minor mistakes, the text is easy to understand and interesting to read.
    <ol><li>Your sentence technically works and conveys the message but it's rather stiff and it's better to use present continuous here to express the idea of ongoing action.</li><li>"Saw" works too but other verbs could be used to put the emphasis on the fact of the discovery itself.</li></ol>

    Hope this helps and have a good day!

    Salut Léa!
    D'abord, bonne travaille. Je fais plusieurs commentaires pour vous mais mon français n'est pas très bien donc je vais utiliser l'anglais parce que ça plus vite et j'espère que vous connaissez anglais mieller qui russie. Pardon pour fais ce texte très long mais je voulais explique toutes les détails pour vous.

    1. Here the comma is needed after “Привет” to make the intention evident. Basically, you have to use a comma before you address somebody in a letter/email format.

    2. Comma is needed because of “что” here used as a connector (difficult topic actually, you can research more on the matter using this search phrase: “когда перед что ставится запятая”).

    3. Your variant “... у вас хорошо” literally says “chez toi, c’est bon”, so we need a descriptor here to make the meaning straight.

    4. сказать = a dit, рассказали = ont raconté

    5. here some words are misused and pairing is off

    6. the same

    7. here you have to use datif form мне

    8. Comma for the same reason as in 2

    9. Писала - j’écrivais, написала - j’ai écrit. You can check yourself by asking these questions: “что сделала?” - написала (it’s a fact in the past, passé composé), “что делала” - писала (imparfait, something was going on in the past), not sure if this tip will work for you, but that’s how I distinct between the two :)

    10. Вам - in formal writing it’s considered a sign of respect to capitalize first letter in “vous” singular -> вам when you address someone you don’t know well but respect (however, usually it’s someone in power/authority like a chef/professor/scientist etc).

    11. future form “intéressera” so you have to use either “что Вам будет интересно” or “что Вас это заинтересует”

    Bonne journée!

    Pretty difficult topic to describe but you managed to convey the message well. If you will ever need correction or want to practice speaking - let me know, I'm learning French right now and C2 in English (according to IELTS results).
    Bonne chance!

    Salut Anna!

    I'm learning French from the ground up since march and I spend about 3 hours a day on active learning (writing, word memorisation, talking, learning grammar and doing exercises) and around an hour on passive learning (reading, listening to podcasts and watching videos without active tasks). Without any breaks or days off. I guess I'm around B1 right now in writing/listening, around A2 in speaking, and probably B2 in reading. Of course this is an estimate and hardly reflects my actual level yet I hope this information will help you.

    Have a good day and au revoir!

    Speaking for introverts (writing day 16)

    Is it important to practice speaking if you are shy? Well, I think it depends on your reasoning. Maybe you learn a language to be able to read books or to listen to podcasts or to chat with people and then you can forget about speaking. But if you want to travel to another country (and talk to the locals) you need to get used to speaking. So, how can you improve that skill in the most convenient way?
    1. Lessons.
    You may study in a small group (2-3 people) to have enough time to think about your answers (while others talk?). Certainly, private lessons are more productive. You can use Skype or any other platform and this way, you'll stay in your safe zone.
    You should find a good teacher who is comfortable to study with. Probably they might be your only interlocutor so try to find the perfect one for you.
    2. Language exchange.
    You can chat with a person first and then set up a video call. However, there is a possibility that you would just waste time while trying to prepare for that conversation instead of pushing yourself and do it earlier. (this sentence is unclear, hope I got the idea right)
    3. Self-talk.
    Finally, you should try to practice talking to yourself in the target language aloud. You can start speaking about any topic and anytime you want. You can even prepare for a conversation with a native speaker this way!
