[EN] French or English?
(disponible ici en français)
Since i’ve started this blog a few months ago, every time i post a new article i wonder if i shouldn’t change the language of the post. Writing in english is harder than i first thought, especially when i actually need to think from scratch in english since i usually don’t have the french « version » of what i am about to write.
My first choice was english, because most of people can read and understand english… well… « my » english.
A few nights ago, i was talking to my brother, who told me he thought it was a « bit » sad not to write much articles in french… after all, it’s my language, no? Plus, well, i put some effort into making my homepage available in the three languages… but then, my blog is mostly available in english…
I checked via Google Analytics my page readers’ statistics and discover that more than half of the visitors have their language in french, and let’s say one third in english. Very few people read my blog with their browser in spanish.
With those results, and after some days of thinking, i decided it was worth writing in french and english. I guess that occasionnally i could also write in spanish, but we’ll see.
So here it is. From now on, i’m gonna write in english AND french. This will help me improve my writing skills (in all languages), force me to be more concise and efficient in my articles and allow you to have something more understandable (at least for my french readers 
).
I don’t know yet how i will work out the layout, to make things easy to read, but stay tuned.
Nicolas.
