In case you were wondering, I have deciced to continue writing my blog in English only for now. When I started my blog in 2010, being a German native speaker I automatically chose German as the language. Later on I switched to writing my posts in both languages, and, oh boy, is that time consuming. It is time I don’t really have to spare most days. Often just thinking about that I still have to translate a post before publishing it kills my motivation. Also, translating takes up so much time because I want to make sure that both texts express more or less the same. I am sure that my German readers won’t have any difficulty understanding my English, well, except for my parents who hardly know any English (sorry, dad!). I am aware that my English isn’t perfect, but then again I do hold a master’s degree in English, and some more writing practice is definitely going to help. Confining myself to blogging in English will hopefully save me some time on the one hand, and also allow me to blog faster and a little more often on the other hand. So let’s see how it goes.
