Can you be a successful blogger if your native language is not English?  |
|
I am an Indian and my own language is Tamil, one of the ancient languages of the world.I had my school studies in Tamil. I had my college studies in English.Then I took up business where I did not need much English.When I started to blog last year I found my English was very poor. Then I gradually improved and I am now writing with out much mistakes. Can you be a successful blogger if you are a non English speaking person?

1. tonyllenium (2054) | 7 months ago | i think you can be a successful blogger even if your langauge is not english as well..so you must consider that if your blog is just in one langauge different from the most international english so your blog should be visitated just from a little part of people around the world but this cna be ok for some topics which they are really related to some countries or group of people living in yourregion and country too!! I think normally people will choose english because it is a language that more or few everybody around the world shoul be understand and so keep activitis and visitors around the world as net conception..but also in regional or different langauges you can hav a good repsonses and activities on your blog too i guess..in many cases blog are much affected by topics and arguments they are writing to..

2. Pigglies (5041) | 7 months ago | I think a lot of people for whom English is their second language are actually very fluent in English. So I don't see any reason why you couldn't be a blogger.
Even bloggers who only speak, read, and write English often have their blogs sprinkled with grammatical errors.

vijayanths (926) | 7 months ago | Very well said pigglies. I have seen some English native persons writing poor English with grammatical errors. I have also seen non English speaking Indians write flawless English with high standards.

3. onedaysoon (413) | 7 months ago | I think you can be a successful blogger if your native language is not English. If the blog is in English I would say it would be more successful if the person knows English well. I think more people, native English readers, would be turned off if the blog post were filled with lots of broken English, unless it was known that the person was working on their English. For you, I don't think it would be hard at all, as from your post, your English is quite good. I am sure there are many successful non-native English bloggers. I wish you luck on being one of them!

vijayanths (926) | 7 months ago | I fully agree with you Onedaysoon. Nice to note my English is fairly good.I do know I have to go a long way to write perfect English. I would certainly make it one day. I will learn many things until such time.
Thanks for your wishes. You are so kind.

vijayanths (926) | 7 months ago | Yes hanah, content is the king. I think one should know to write interestingly. I have seen some bloggers who have command over English but don't know to write interestingly. They have better stuff in their blogs than mine but their traffic is much less than my blogs.

vijayanths (926) | 7 months ago | I believe content also plays a big role in getting traffic to your site. If you write good English but it is so dry means who would visit your blogs? I think we should learn to write interestingly, that is more important. In other words content is the king.

| 7. catzzz (51) | 7 months ago | I think you can be a successful blogger even you are a non English speaking person. Your writing will still be enjoyed by the local reader. but honestly, if you would like to earn money from that, it's easiler if you use English.

8. strawberrychocodahi (2471) | 7 months ago | I can testify to that. It does not mean that your major language would be English just to succeed. And being a blogger takes time and effort on the articles you write. When we do speak our second language, we also need practice and Mylot is a very good platform for us to start using English.
The more we converse here, the better we can practice our English language and I am sure that writing an article would not be difficult anymore because you can be confident of what you wanted to express in that certain blog.
English is part of our curriculum in school from Elementary to College. So it will always be taught and we are to use it even if it is our second language.

9. prinzcy (2169) | 7 months ago | Of course you can. However, need I remind you, since the language you use isn't widely use, you may have limited readers. There are bloggers that blog in my language, Malay and they have been successful enough to be known throughout the Net.
If you have trouble to write in English but still want to try, I suggest that you keep it on. Practice makes perfect and eventually you'll be better. Try checking for grammar errors via any grammar checking software before publishing to minimize error. If you're being criticize for your error in writing, let them criticize all they want. People can speak, not like they're any better.

| dealer24 (2) | 7 months ago | Of course you can, there is software you can use to translate your content with. Depending on your target audience you should be able to build a following. Publish some of your work in the directories. Finding out how well your work is being receive will give you great insight as to how you can move forward with your blog sphere.
Get into forum on your topic to start letting reader know where they can find your content.
The more channels you work with the easier it will be to get your blog traffic increased.
