My thoughts about blogging So, I've been dreaming about starting a blog for a few years by now, but you probably know how it is: your life is not that interesting, you don't want to be judged etc. I've faced all of these fears so that's why I didn't start it. Also, the most information on the internet is written in English, so I kind of thought that I want to write my blog in English so I will potentially have more readers and also maybe spread some good words about my country (the world definitely needs this, doesn't it? xD) Aaand my English is not perfect, as you can see. But today something strange has happenned: I saw a note where a foreigner wrote in Russian that she wants to start a blog in Russian (hello, if you are reading this!), but she thought that her Russian was not good enough. And I was like... "But why doesn't she start now, I understand her thoughts and it looks cute and she will get better!". So I realized that I didn't judged her as much as I judge myself (which is a common thing, though). I must say that she was learning Russian only for a year and I study English..eh. For a really long time. But! I still decided to ask you, normal english speakers: how would you react, if you saw a blog like that? Would you get annoyed? Can you get interested by a blog if it's not grammatically perfect? What are your thoughts? No one judge me as hard as myself, so you can tell me your honest opinion :D Or do you guys read blogs at all? Maybe it's not mainstream anymore! Let me know :)

So, I've been dreaming about starting a blog for a few years

You need to delete the word "so" from the beginning of your sentence.

Please do not copy native speakers who begin sentences with the word "so" for no valid reason.

This is a very annoying trend amongst today's youth. Don't do it.

It's about as annoying as, like, people who, like, say the word "like" like, all of the time, for, like, no, like, apparent reason.

And I was like... "But why doesn't she start now, I understand her thoughts and it looks cute and she will get better!"

This should read:

And I said / and I thought to myself: "But why doesn't she start now? I understand her thoughts and it looks cute and she will get better!"

You appear to be copying a certain kind of English speaker known as "LA Valley girl". Please do not talk like those kinds of speakers. They come across as bimbos.

So, I've been dreaming about starting a blog for a few years now, but you probably know how it is: your life is not that interesting, you don't want to be judged etc. I faced all these fears and so I didn't start it. Also, most information on the internet is written in English, so I thought that I want to write my blog in English with potentially more readers and also maybe spread some good words about my country (the world definitely needs this, doesn't it? xD) And my English is imperfect, as you can see. But today something strange has happenned: I read a note where a foreigner wrote in Russian that she wants to start a blog in Russian (hello, if you are reading this!), but she thought that her Russian was not good enough. And I was like... "But why doesn't she start now, I understand her thoughts and it looks cute and she will get better!". So I realized that I didn't judge her as harshly as I judged myself (which is a common enough thing). I must say that she was learning Russian only for a year and I've studied English..eh. for a really long time. But! I ask you, normal* English speakers: how would you react seeing a blog like that? Would you get annoyed? Can you get interested by a blog if it's not grammatically perfect? What are your thoughts? No one judges me as hard as I do myself, so you can tell me your honest opinion :D Or do you read blogs at all? Maybe it's not mainstream anymore! Let me know :)

*or, average English speakers: .. or, dear reader: ... (one must be extraordinarily careful addressing the reader)

Very well written! (Personally, I never read a blog, but I don't know, or care, if I am a normal modern English speaker).

Well done! There are spelling errors : I didn't Judge. Something strange has happened. And my English is not perfect. However you may navigate the website: https://www.theblogstarter.com Also, remember that when you use a period, the first letter after period is a capital letter. For grammar I recommend: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar

Hello, I would be happy to read a blog written by someone with your level of English skills. Remember, because things on the internet are often typed so fast or on small screens or not proofread, we are pretty used to seeing the odd little mistake from English speakers on the internet, and on the whole we really don't mind! Sounds like you have something interesting to say so, you will be worth reading. Not to mention it will likely help you improve your English anyway :) Very best of luck!!

Well, I've read it and thought it was cool and funny =D. I don't mind if it's not grammatically perfect, although I'm not a native speaker of English. But if I wanted perfect English, I would look for a grammar book at some store. Well, what I'm trying to say is: good job. Carry on!
