One of my steemian friends who was also still new with steemit, asked me if the language we use in steemit, such as English, will bring big influence with our steemit. He asked me that question, because he knew that I always make my posting in English. I could not give him the correct and proper answer about it, but I just explained him that I write in English, because I want to practice to write in English. As we know that I always write my articles in Indonesian. Then when I got information about steemit, I searched in Google, then learned it and finally I decided to register. After waiting for several days, then I got the approval, and I chose to write in English. Since I can write in English, I feel happy and makes me satisfy. Therefore, I tried to be care more on the social problems around us. I tried to get the ideas to write and share, and I write all the ideas in my articles, even I realize that there must be some mistakes I may make when writing. But, as the process of learning, there is no problem. The most important thing is I can express my minds, thoughts in English. I remember, my little daughter Aqila Azalea Tabrani Yunis, whose age is still 6.5 years. She always reminds me that" Practice makes perfect". Even she is still very young, she always tells me that.
I really believe that when I start to use my English in written, it will strengthen and improve my capacity in using English. Therefore, until now, I keep writing in English. I never write in Indonesian in steemit. So, answering a question asked by one of my steemian friends about the language, I can answer that the language we use can influence it, however in my experience when I wrote in English, it does not much influence the gain of SBDs as what people said. For me, what I hope from my posting in English is that I expect my writing can be read by more people in the world who use English as the communication purposes. However, the hope is also there, I can get more responses or comments from steemians from different countries in the world. So, again it was not because I wanted to gain more SBDs.
However, in its process or progress, when I posted my articles, my eyes were directed to the number of people who up votes, resteem and comments. It means that those are all influencing our interests in writing and posting in steemit. Since, it becomes as the motivation, the external motivation, I need to learn how to make my articles voted by more steemians. Not only votes, but comments and resteem. By the way, how is your experiences? I hope you can share with me and with others.
So, I am waiting for your comments and votes. Do not forget to follow me
