It is working now, will read it when I can!!
Just read your first chapter and left a review, I understand the struggle of writing in English, I'm trying to translate my story as good as I can, but it is kinda hard. We bilingual queens need to stick together.

I'm multilingual, English is my third language but I live in english and read and write in english almost exclusively and haven't had dream in my native language or second one for most of my life. I had some personal issue with my first language, Portuguese, it's very gendered and misogynistic, but of course this is just the way it was used against me so I felt happy to leave it behind really!
Malak Ana, what are your first languages?
Look forward to read next chapter, keep going! I have read much much worse english from native speakers, it's really not a massive issue.

My native language is Spanish and right now I'm learning polish ale ja nie jestem bardzo dobrze po polsku (but I'm not good at it)

I am also trying to learn my fourth language, as I live in Berlin, been trying to learn German. It is awful! I speak enough to go to shops and have minimal conversations and daily life resolving issues but that is it. It is exhausting!
Malak we look forward to next chapter, do put link up for review when you have it!
Not to worry Malak, just as you are able. And german is ridiculously hard. The basic knowledge I have is after doing classes for 5 bloody years! Exhausting and impenetrable.
Du hast mich!Haha, so many talented writers in this community. I can't help but hope for a lengthy friendship between many of us.
Soy vaquero de un rancho en Trincheras, Mexico. Pero, cuando murio mi abuelito, nadien tenia tiempo a llevar mi para visitar mi familiar ayi. Entonces no tengo chance para practicar espanol. La ultima vez que fue era en el ano '92. Que triste soy.
にほんご が すこし はなします. 2年間日本語を勉強しています.頑張ってください! Ja mata ne!
That's a lota languages in one message no idea what the japanese is saying! But sad you don't get to see your family as often, and language does slip if not used but it can return very quickly by being inside it for a little while.
ni ho n go ga su ko shi ha na shi ma su. nihon go ga sukoshi hanashimasu.
Japanese language (ga =particle) littlebit speak.
I'm sure it would. However, the probability of that happening now, is highly unlikely. Its okay, writing with everyone here and doing reviews is strengthening my English proficiency.
Your english is quite fluent! I just assumed you were a native english speaker. I find portuguese hard to get back into, even when i visit family I make so many weird mistakes at first they make fun of me, there is a BOOK of Liavali's weird portuguese.
But after less than a week it all disappears, which is why my sister likes to make sure to hear everything I say just as I arrive.
Nice! Got fancy with the kanji =DYou know, a lot of times the kanji is unfamiliar and we have to use the furugani to read what the kanji says. Kinda funny but that's what happened when their old tongue had no written word. So when they were conquering China they stole most of their writing kanji and then adopted it into their native tongue. Now a Chinese kanji can have multiple meanings in Japanese so its more common to use furu or katakana to write outside of the 1 thousandish most common kanji.
This makes Japanese very hard. They have Hiragana which is their native alphabet. The women were not allowed to write in Hiragana so the princesses created their own version of the alphabet called Katakana so they could write each other. Now they use this alphabet to depict words that are foreign to Japanese such as Hamburger. Ha-N-Ba-Ga. Then you add the 3 thousand fluency Kanji (Chinese) characters which represents an entire word rather than spelling it out. On top of that they write romanji which is a phonetic latin pronunciation of the words.
In your sentence the double box is a representation of the sun, it is pronounced Ni. Ni also means 2. This is also ni に, this is also ni ニ.
Yes, thank you. I tend to shy away from speaking Spanish now that my confidence is decreasing. However, with amazing peers like you guys, its possible that things could change =D. Thank you.
Thanks Malak!Yes I am not two thirds into the novel's first draft and not doing any reviewing or paying any attention to what was before, just looking forward to finish first draft at the moment.
Annoying things is I thought i was 2 thirds in 15 000 words ago...
I submitted a review for your first chapter.
I leave a review here, seems like a start of a story logline, maybe as you manage to get to the question then the logline also can incorporate this.
In the end as long as you have an idea of how the story ends and why it gets there, it doesn't matter if you don't manage to put it in the logline for now. So it seems you have a start, good luck on next part!
