The language challenge

As I am making new friends here at Wealthy Affiliate I see that we come from all places on this earth. All continents are well represented.
I am born and raised in Curacao, a small island in the Caribbean. It is a beautiful island with people from at least 40 different countries. We speak Papiamentu. We are still a part of the Netherlands, so our education system is in Dutch and Papiamentu. When there is no wind we can see the coast of Venezuela, South America. You can guess it, we learn Spanish too at school. And without English you still can not communicate with a lot of people, so English is on the menu too.
But the moment you sit down to write something that matters, it is necessary to make as little mistakes as possible. This is not easy. You can understand most of the time what others are saying and you can say something back. But writing is a whole different story.

Be honest, don’t you think when you read something which has language mistakes that probably the content will not be as good either?
So I want to encourage you to tell me when I make a mistake or could have written it differently.
I make use of a free online programs that can control a lot of mistakes, especially spelling and punctuation, automatically. Although it doesn't always understand what I want to say :-) But make use of them, they will make you feel more secure.
Good luck with the challenge and practice makes progress!!
