I won’t stop blogging that’s for sure - but starting from today, all the articles on this blog will be written in English. The last 2 years I’ve mainly been writing in Dutch; that’s about 376 blog posts - or almost 1 post every two days.
This decision doesn’t come suddenly, I’ve been playing with the idea quite a long time…
Three reasons why I will be blogging in English:
- Some of my readers know I recently switched jobs, whenever I’m blogging on our company blog I feel myself more comfortable writing in English. It gives me the ability to put more depth and feeling in some of my articles. Besides that, I will be crossposting some articles every now and then.
- 99% of the blogs I follow and articles I read are written in English - that’s not a bad thing, but since I do like to quote and share insights based upon other people’s articles: why not do it in English instead of dutch?
- One of the most important reasons: I’d really like to reach new (and more!) people with this blog - share my experiences, insights, my approaches & solutions - to me it’s like making friends in a new town.
Yes - there will be spelling mistakes & grammatically incorrect sentences, I consider this a good exercise and feedback is always welcome.
PS: For now, the dutch articles will remain available.
