As my blog has gained popularity, many of my friends and readers often ask why I don’t write in Russian or Belarusian. I should have addressed this earlier, but here we are, and I’ll explain—still in English.
First of all, I wanted to challenge myself. I was curious to see how well I could handle writing in English, processing English-language sources, and making it engaging for readers. It’s been a personal journey to improve my language skills.
Secondly, I believe that anyone working in digital should be fluent in English, and it shouldn’t be an obstacle for professionals in the field. It’s a global language for a reason, especially in our industry.
Lastly, if reading in English is a struggle, there are plenty of online translation tools, or—seriously—it might be time to learn English once and for all!
That being said, I do have plans for two additional language versions—Belarusian and Polish—as well as launching a full-scale digital media outlet for Belarusians around the world. Stay tuned!
