English is not my first language, sorry for the grammar mistakes, I tried my best :-) I asked a native speaker friend to help me to fix it ASAP. I will pay more attention to this in the feature! Thx!
- djaychela 10y agoI'm usually the first to pounce on such errors, but I actually liked the writing style, and the story - inspiring, particularly for those of us who are outside the usual career path. I think the message can be more important than the presentation. Well done, and thanks for the inspiration.
- kayla210 10y agoI actually liked the way the story was told and the errors didn't bother me. I was able to get a sense of how excited you are about your new career! :)
- nickpsecurity 10y agoPeople obsessed with grammar more than content show up to critique plenty of things here. Just ignore them. The presentation was better than many "how I got started or hired" stories just because you wrote it in a way that was fun to read.
- Mz 10y agoIn the future, you can run it through an online grammar checker, like Paper Rater or Grammarly. It will not catch everything, but it will help.
- denisenepraunig 10y agoThanks for the hint!
- acemarke 10y agoHey, don't worry about it too much. Probably a few bits of grammar or phrasing that could be tweaked, but it's perfectly readable as-is. I spent four years teaching English in China, so I've got a pretty good feel for the various levels of English fluency in non-native speakers - you're doing fine, trust me :) Really, about the only thing that tripped me up reading that was the German quotation marks, and that's just because I'm an American :) Congrats on your progress, and thanks for sharing your story. Good luck in the future!
- denisenepraunig 10y agoThank you for your encouragement acemarke :)
