I have a friend from India. She lives in India and I communicate with her online. She really wants me to help her with her English, and I admit I am a bit stuck. We have been writing back and forth and I have been correcting her writing, but she wants/needs more than this. She wants to perfect her grammar, and I am afraid I just am not giving her what she needs. She communicates well and her English is very understandable, she just has problems with grammar and some word order and especially expression. Can anyone suggest anything that I can do to help, or suggest a free online site that will help? I would greatly appreciate it if I could find a way to help her better. Thanks so much.

Based on my personal experience of learning English, if she's reached a point where she is understandable, then all she needs is more exposure to the language. For me, it was reading, and reading, and reading. Years of reading ;-)

Thank you Cleo. I was hoping you would post as your English is great and it's not your native language. I will suggest that to her.
