    I've started being a bit more serious about lang-8. It's interesting in how many ways you can say the same thing in Japanese. I've had 4 different people say I should of said x in y way.

    For the sake of my interest and lack of understanding fully here's the sentence and a correction I'm interested about.

    After some more thought, I might understand this fully. I believe it has the point of I don't really have any vocabulary, not that my vocabulary is bad.

    This one makes a lot more sense to me, but I'm not sure if it's really okay to use a double は particle.
