I am a blogger. I can’t speak English well. But I want to run my blog in English. This is the solution that I took to still be able to blog in English.

Hello world bloggers! Let me introduce you. My name is Richard. I live in Bali. I have been a blogger for the past 10 years. But unfortunately, my English skills are not good. Even though I really like blogging and all things related to the world of online business. Despite the limitations, I did not despair to start blogging using English. Because I feel that blogging with English will take me — through my writings — to more places and readers around the world.

Today, it is a historic step for me, because I have decided to start writing blogs using English. And you know, what tools I used to write this first article?

Do you speak English? source: flanderstoday.

Yes! You are right.

I use the free translator facility from Google — Google Translator.

I wrote this article in my language, and Google did the next thing for me. The result is, … this article. I hope, what I write and “the translation” of Google can convey what I mean and you can grasp it well.

Thanks to Google
I am very grateful to Google for providing this free tool — google translator — so that everyone can more freely express their ideas to the world, through writing in English.

I know that the level grade of the language presented here will look like the writing of a 10-year-old child. But never mind, … the most important thing is the idea and purpose of my writing can be well understood by you.

I am sure, over time, I will increasingly understand the way Google translator works in translating my writings into English. So I am sure I will definitely be able to write better at more levels than now.

Why did I choose to write in English?
You, me, and all the other people out there have their own reasons, for writing in English. And here are my reasons, why I choose writing in English;
1. English is a language used in many ways globally. Nearly 99% of the countries in the world recognize English as a world language.
2. World literature sources are written in English.
3. The bloggers and writers we see today, successful in running their online business through blog websites, write their articles in English.
4. The online advertising world gives greater value to blog articles and posts written in English.

Hopefully, this historical day, which is today, will be an important step for me to better dive into the world of blogging than before. If you have a suggestion or opinion about my decision, please submit it via the comment column below this article. I will learn to be better than the suggestions that you give here.

Success for you and me.
