Please review & correct my Spanish sentence
I am using busuu.com to get frequent feedback on my written Spanish. They have lessons there, and at the end of each lesson you have to write in Spanish (if you are learning Spanish) and then upload. You immediately get feedback from native Spanish speakers who are learning English. Then I get an English text to correct from a Spanish speaker who is learning English. I get the feeling that the Spanish reviewers are reviewing almost solely based on strict grammatical errors. What I really want to know (in addition) is if they would say what I said, but in a different way...perhaps using some common idioms, etc. Therefore I want to post the following sentence.
The English for this sentence is:
Thank you for your feedback. Please correct any errors in my writing, but also, please tell me how you would say the same information, but using words and phrases that are more typical of native Spanish speakers.
Gracias por tus comentarios. Por favor, corrija los errores en mi escritura, pero también, por favor dígame cómo se diría que la misma información, pero el uso de palabras y frases que son más típicas de hablantes nativos de español.
Please correct any errors in my Spanish. Thank you.

Yo oigo cantar a los cantantes. Is the sentence structure correct? Is it grammatically correct? What is the grammatical rule for this structure. The English translation was given as: I hear the singer's sing.
You could look into the formal/informal ways of addressing a person.
For instance: To correct: Formal "Corrija". Informal "Corrije" If you're saying "Gracias por tus comentarios", the "tu" is used for informal conversations. So you should either change all of the verbs to their informal way, or use "usted" which is the formal form of "tu".
To say: Decir. Formal: "Dígame". Informal: "Dime".
The last sentence, "How to say the same information using words and phrases"; There is an extra "que" in your sentence. You are also saying "But the use of words and phrases..." instead of "But using words and phrases...".
I hope I could help.
