Questions for non-native English-speaking indie hackers

here is how i approach this problem. I create outline of the article this includes title, summary of the article main headings, and main points to be covered in each paragraph . After this i use chatgpt to fill the article for me. I than keep on editing it until i am satisfied with the results. Before publishing i sometimes get it reviewed from my friends, somtimes i ask for feedback in indiehackers and other forums to get an idea about how other people are percieving it and than i publish it.

One more suggestion is to trade your japanese language skills with someone who wants to enter into japanese market with their english language skills by this i don't mean they are going to write article for you but they would act as editor to ensure that your article doesn't sound like literal translation from japanese.

Kinoshi san,

If you are looking for a native English speaker who may be able to help you improve your English writing in exchange for providing occasional help in improving someone else's Japanese writing, perhaps we should talk.

I'm learning to speak, read, and write in Japanese. As far as my level of Japanese language skill is concerned, I'd call myself an 'advanced beginner'. I probably know several thousand words. I can read hiragana and katakana, and I can recognize perhaps three hundred or more kanji characters - but that probably puts me at about the same level as a grade two elementary school student. I am currently spending about an hour a day studying Japanese (via self-study, with the help of online tools), and another hour or so watching Japanese language anime with English subtitles. Clearly I still have much to learn.

I have considered writing a blog in both English and Japanese, but I've been hesitant to do so out of fear of making too many mistakes in Japanese. With the help of AI tools such as DeepL and ChatGPT I can probably manage, but having a native Japanese speaker review my writing would certainly be helpful.

As far as my English language skills are concerned, I am not a professional writer or editor, rather I am a software developer by trade. Nevertheless people have often told me that I'm a good writer. I have often helped others improve their written English. I do have a tendency to write overly-long and complicated 'run-on' sentences and paragraphs, however, so I really should pay more attention to writing more concisely.

I've taken a quick look at your Arno landing page. While the English that you've used on that page does appear to be grammatically correct, some of the phrasing could probably be improved. For example, this sentence strikes me as sounding a bit 'off' or unnatural: "Get a perfect piece of writing". How about trying something like this as an alternative: "Improve your writing" (or "Quickly improve your writing", or "Easily improve your writing", or even "Perfect your writing").

If that sounds interesting, let's talk.

Since chatgpt is out I am writting better than native english speakers and faster than ever. This tool is revolutionary. The downside is that internet will be polluted with even more crap than it already is.

Here's a small resource for you, I try using this in my projects all the time.

Yes, I have the same problem. I'm only learning English for now. Services like LanguageTool and Quillbot help me.

I understand you. Tools like Grammarly help a lot. And, of course, it's all about practice.

I understand how you feel. I'm not a native-speaker either, and my English is far from perfect. But I try to create content in English (both text and video) because I see no other choice. Sometimes it gets messy and ridiculous, but I can't hire someone in perfect English to do it for me yet (.
An American once told me that they like accents and I shouldn't be ashamed of it. That makes me feel a little better.

I'm from China

struggling, yes.
tips, no.

I have the same with videos. I'm good at English but I don't sounds like I'm from the English-speaking country.

With blogging it can be easier. Read how native speakers write and follow their lead. Use Grammarly to get corrections. Over time it will get better.
