If you are bilingual, which language do you blog in?
I am curious to find out if you would use English or your first language to write your blog, or if you actually use both. Would like to know your reasons for switching from one language to another.
Thanks.
I usually blog in English but since I’m a Chinese, I do use Chinese to blog once in a while. I think that even though if you consider yourself as a bilingual, you ought to have a language that is stronger than the other. And sometimes you just want to achieve a higher level of clarity. For this, I choose to use Chinese as I’m more fluent in it. Besides that I also find that Chinese words are more poetic and expressive in nature. It comes handy when you wish to write about your feelings or thoughts in your blog.
Well, because not all your friends understand Chinese, English has to be used most of the time. However, in order to keep in touch with our roots, I suggests we should use our first language once in a while (be it to blog or even to speak it). To sum it up, use them wherever and whenever you have the chance
Hope these help
