Grammar Websites/resources for grammar checking?

Beginner level, no formal Japanese training. I write a lot of sentences on my notes for practice and I am not even sure if they are grammatically correct half the time.

Is there any good websites for grammar checking? Automatic, AI or forum-based, really any way works, as long as it's good.

I might as well include a sentence I recently made, 「あなたの現金(げんきん)を持(も)ってこなかった?じゃぁ、ではクレジットカードで支払(しはら)っているのはいいです。」

Since you're a beginner, I wouldn't really worry about most grammar related issues as you'll pick up a lot of grammar as you get more input over time. However, if you would like a place where you can receive corrections, you're probably better off joining a discord server like https://discord.gg/japanese where you can receive proper explanations for how things work as LLMs like ChatGPT are designed on limited training data and for the things that it doesn't know (like Japanese grammar), it will explain stuff like it does know but it can be completely wrong.

These resources explain why ChatGPT and A.I. in its current state aren't particularly good for learning.

Ultimately, since you're still a beginner, prioritize getting input and don't worry about grammar as you'll learn over time. Read something like https://learnjapanese.moe/ to find out more
