Who Says Writing Is Just For Those Who Can Write In English?

I have invited a lot of my friends to join the platform but most of them would refuse my proposal for two reasons: They are either not fond of writing, or they are not confident or can't write well in English.

Q10Being able to write well in full English has its advantages but that doesn't mean those who don't or can't has no right to write and earn extra. Luckily, there are platforms like read.cash that allows us to write in our own language, so even those who are struggling in English can still participate and earn BCH.

For those who are struggling, here are a few things you can do:

Write in your own language

As I've said, some platforms don't necessarily require their users to write in full English. If you're a Filipino, for instance, and you think you can't write an article in English, why not start with Tagalog articles first. Although Tagalog articles will only give you a limited audience, rest assured that you will still find readers on this platform, thanks to our Filipino writers here.

Use your bilingual skills

In the Philippines, we call it TagLish, where one uses both Tagalog and English at the same time. If you can do half in both, that would be better. However, if you can't, then just add a few English words in your article, and the majority is written in your preferred language. Again, your audience will be limited but as you go along the way, you will be able to improve your writing skills. Just continue and don't let the language barrier prevents you from earning BCH.

Write in your preferred language and convert it into English

Good thing some websites offer free translation in different languages. All you need to do is write an article in your preferred language and convert them into English. Although the translations may not be accurate, you can just read them and do some changes to make them readable enough for your readers.

You wouldn't believe me if I tell you I wrote this one here myself. This is one of a few Wikipedia content I wrote in Italian version in 2020. Click the link to see the original post.

I've already done this before when I was still working on a Wikipedia task. At that time, I had to write about existing English content and make an Italian version of it. So I wrote the content first in English and converted them into Italian. Some words might be a bit off when translated into Italian, but luckily for me, I have a Tunisian friend who can speak the language. In short, I was lucky enough to have an editor who can polish my work. When I showed it to my client for approval, it was accurate, and I was able to publish it.

Closing thoughts

There is always a solution for everything. You just need to explore the possibilities and try them for yourself. As time goes by, you'll be able to improve your English and eventually, you can write an article in full English without the need for a translator.

No idea what to write? Start with something personal like your interests, your struggles, your hopes and dreams, and you'll have more topics to write about as you continue.

As they say, practice makes perfect so keep writing, and you'll do good in the long run. I used to have issues in writing in English before but now, I think I have improved quite a bit.

it's a relief that I saw your article, this is very good to hear that I can write my 1st article sooner or later with my own language because I am not confident enough with my grammar and my writing skills since this is my first time. pwede po mga about cooking ang ipublish? because that is my 1st preference since we sell "kakanin". hope to hear from you soon ate.

Es bueno dar a conocer la plataforma e incentivar a los posibles usuarios con consejos como este que nos das.

Tengo poco que entre a esta plataforma y no me atrevΓ­a a publicar por que no hablo ni escribo inglΓ©s.

Fue gracias a @SaraEscribe y a su #DinamicaenespaΓ±ol que fue que comencΓ© a publicar. Cosa que siempre le voy agradecer.

He hice como tu dice estoy contando mis propias historias, mientras que le agarro el ritmo a la escritura.

Historias de mi vida real, dirΓ‘n y que me importa lo que te pase, pero aquΓ­ de lo que se trata es de leer y cualquier tema es bueno para alguien que quiera leer.

Se supone que esta pΓ‘gina no es de escritores profesionales en su totalidad, si habrΓ‘n muchos que he tenido el placer de leer.

Por lo pronto espero conseguir lectores que lean mi contenido, para tener un incentivo de seguir escribiendo e ir creciendo.

That's so true sis. At first, I was also hesitant to venture into this platform. But you guys in the club1bch inspired to do it. And luckily for me, English had always been like a part of me ever since I was a child. And I couldn't talk or write much in Tagalog to be honest haha I don't know why. Maybe because I didn't grew up in the Tagalog region of the country like my siblings did. Because I lived my whole life in our province(Negros Island) and our main language was Hiligaynon. I also had invited some friends over here and they also reason out the two you've stated. But one of my friends in particular was kind of skeptical about the whole crypto earnings idea. Haha so I had to leave it to her to decide whether or not she wants to join. And I haven't heard from her since. 🀣

My native language is Spanish. I really like English, and it favored me in a way, that from early in school I began to study it, I speak since elementary school, so I fell in love with it. I can speak it quite fluently, read almost perfectly without having to resort to an online translator except for some exceptions in words or phrases. Writing it, as I do very little, is where I help myself with online translators, then I check it with the plugin that even read.cash invites them to use it, it is for firefox, for grammar.

Oh, didn't know you're Spanish. In my case, I only love the language after I applied for customer service. I failed but that was the beginning of my changes. Since then, I started to converse in English with friends until I get to enhance my communication skills. Well, probably not as good as yours, but it's fine as long as it's understandable. Lol.
