(Marcela Hope) Every language makes me feel different when writing.............

For me writing in Spanish is like recreating something that happened or just what I imagine, leaving the reader to feel what I feel, to smell, to hear, to see, and even to taste. So writing in this language is exciting because you can play with your mother language words.


Writing in English is something much more different. It's like to yell to the world what I feel. This is like the language  that  I use to hide my feelings from my family, a way to give a vent to my sadness or in the best cases to my joy...the bad thing is that most of the people I know speak English so I would have to learn another language for hiding them...and that would be very difficult, but it could be a challenge like the one's from Tina.



Finally, writing in French is like...... to be psychorigid, you gotta be careful with the grammar, the accents..... honestly it has too many things that "no me fluye": it doesn't flow me !




Furthermore, it happens to me that I am so focused on the grammar rules that I used to lose the text's idea or the sense.

  1. In general, I got the ideas. But in my view the second paragraph it is not clear and the part you wrote “I know speak English”, I think it sounds very literal from Spanish, I’m sorry. Moreover, there are some little things you must pay attention for example: punctuation “so, writing…”; pronouns “… from my family, IT’S a way…”;I would delete article “the” when you write”…the grammar, the accents…”; and with regard to the word “psychorigid” I’m not sure about, I’d prefer “inflexible”.
    On the other hand, I agree with you about writing in French because for me it’s very complicated too.

  2. I think we have a similar point of view about writing since for me it’s nice to write in Spanish. I don’t have many difficulties writing in this language but the problems come when we have to write in other languages, although it is a very good exercise to improve our skills.
