RE: Write well? Not many upvotes? Here's why
Oh man, your articles are awesome. I'm also one of the frustrated individuals for not being rewarded during my early days of steem. But I'm able to see for sure how my writing has improved over the course of years. Thanks for another great article.
Thanks man! Mine has too - I for sure wasn't this good at the beginning. I also know that English isn't your first language, so you're doing amazingly well! I dread to think what an article would be like if I tried it in your language. Hahaha
Ha ha ha. Yes when I was young I used to be stubborn that I shouldn't learn English. I always wanted to be multilingual but had so much hatred on English. Things gradually changed after I realized that it was a childish thought. 😀😊
If I had stayed dumb with just my native language alone, I would not got good friends from all over the world. But now I'm convinced that I don't have to be proficient but it is enough if I can communicate and make others understand what I'm trying to convey. 😊
Yeah, see, English is the business go-between language. I feel us native speakers can sometimes get a bit lazy, and also expect too much from non native speakers. Sometimes I want to say to some people that are giving foreign speakers a hard time, "well how many languages do you know then?!!" lol
My wife knows 4 languages; I know only English. I wish I knew more :)
Yes that is quite true. You will not believe if I tell you that there is no job for people who don't speak English in India. At least now the situation is changing a little bit. But before a few years back, even if you are capable of moving mountains with your mind, you still don't have the job if you don't know to speak English. That's what corporate companies expect. But things are getting better I should say.
