I’m really happy i managed to inspire some of you aswell, when i look at my older posts in the blog i notice a huge improvement between now and then.

@Stefan: Update me with the development with your upcoming English blog if you decide to go for it!

@Calvin: Never give up =), i suggest you buy a babylon translator for $15/year (helped me a lot), download Google Toolbar and use the spell checker, or just install the checkspeller plugin in Wordpress. Use one of these and always check your spelling.

Another option, and that’s for the grammar part: join forums, there are millions of them with many many topic that some of them will surely interest you. don’t be shy to post and read what others have to say, you will learn through trial and mistake.

All the best luck, and feel free to contact me, my address is at Me, My Coke & I

Thanks again,
A.H

Hi Allen,
I’ve visited your site and very impressed with what you did there. I just started blogging last couple of months or so. Language is always been a problem to me since. Just like you, English is not my native language – not even my third language.I’m a Punan – a very small tribe (less than 5000 peoples) from Sarawak on the Island of Borneo. In fact i’m the only one from my tribe that has a blog and a website.

Feel free to check my blog at http://punan.net/blog [Darren, pls don't delete the link :) ]. It is actually a community blog – whereby I post information about Punan culture, history, opinions and struggles.
Almost 70% of my visitors are from Australia & US. They complaint a lot about my poor English. I feel almost giving up blogging in English before I read your success stories at Problogger.Thank, you’ve given me hope – I’ll try to survive and double the effort to master English language.

Hi Allen,
thank you very much for your inspiring article. I’m from Germany and I have already launched a few blogs here, but never thought about starting an English blog. Now, after reading your report, I’m feeling quite encouraged to try it as an experiment and maybe an experience. For me, it could be a challenging way to improve my rather poor English and to reach a much bigger circle of readers.
Thank you again and all the best!
Stefan

[...] If so, then it would be better to purchase a subdomain for sale. Another potential advantage to buying a subdomain would be to be a part of a great keyword domain. I googled “subdomain for sale” and didn’t find much, so I’m not sure about this… but Darren Rowse bought a subdomain, which has me asking why? 04.03.2006 [...]

Great stuff, Allen.

Being 16 you’ll have the last laugh over any naysayers – you’ve got so many years in front of you – I only wish I was 16 again.

Your English is actually quite good – better than some whose English is their only language :-)

Glad to see another coke (coca-cola, I mean) addict here…

The fact that you are out there blogging is great. What you are doing right now is the best way to go about starting to blog. I feel that it is always better to write about something that you have a huge passion for because many times you end up sticking with it longer. The other thing that really stood out for me from your post is that you started out writing for yourself which is also a good way to go about blogging. In the end, blogging is about getting your thoughts out and making money is a byproduct of that. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on your success. I was broke at 16. ;) It’s all the more impressive that you’re managing to make money blogging for an English-speaking audience, when it’s your third language!

Nice to see you here Allen. What a surprise, I have a deep impression of My-Coke.net ever since I saw pingbacks to HipTechBlog from it (thanks for linking!), probably because I like Coke (but I love coffee more!) hehe.

Nice to see someone your age already getting into serious blogging. :)
