Practice Writing in a Different Language By Writing Online Articles - A Good Way to Learn English

The other day, I was talking to a fellow online article writer over the Internet. He is in a country, a rather large one, but it isn't an English speaking nation. Although many people there do speak English, it is not their regular language. He told me that he wrote online articles to reach English-speaking markets, and to make new friends. I could tell by his e-mail that he was still practicing, and honing his skills. Okay so, let's talk about this case study for a moment shall we?

Does writing online articles help someone learn English? It certainly helps them learn to write in English, and English is a hard language to learn because of its idiosyncrasies, and difficult spellings. Nevertheless, he was well on his way to making it happen. For instance, he knows that his articles need to be perfect, and in grammatically correct English, otherwise no one will take him seriously. He also knows that he must spend time to make sure it is correct, and check his work against various electronic translation devices, and also show it to his friend who speaks and writes English already.

Having someone that speaks and writes in their native English able to do your editing will go a long way to assisting you in understanding what is right and what is wrong. It was interesting to see so many people from all over the world jumping on board into the world of article writing on the Internet, and although at first even though their quantity was high, it was obvious that they were challenged by many of the sentence structure, grammatical rules, and hard to learn spelling of important words.

It is possible to learn "Simple English" which would be about 750 words in the English language without too much problem; being able to put the writing together in proper sentences for use in blogging, e-mails, tweeting, and all sorts of electronic communication? I believe so. The more people who learn English; to both write and speak it, the closer the world will get together because it is in fact the business and Internet language of the world.

Yes, it can be frustrating for someone that doesn't know how to write English yet, having their articles rejected, but nothing good in life is easy, and if foreign speaking individuals learning English as a second language are able to make this happen, as well as get these articles published, everyone wins around the world, as more and more people share information about their culture, way of life, and needs, wants, and desires. It brings humanity closer together, and it's a good thing.
