Listen "QUICK TIP: How to Break Your Writing (or Translating) Patterns in English"
Episode Synopsis
No writer escapes their writing career without a few patterns they lean on. And that doesn’t just apply to novelists and journalists. It happens to translators, too!
If your into-English writing consists mostly of emails and direct messages, you probably have some persistent writing quirks that find their way into everything, even your translation work.
While it’s common to have words or phrases you’ll repeat often, it’s beneficial to catch and subvert overused expressions and weak word choices―especially if most of your writing goes to the same audience. Without keeping your writing fresh, your readers will come to anticipate your repetitive style and may not read your message as closely.
Most people aren’t lucky enough to have an editor on call to review everything they write or translate. So how can you catch your most commonly overused words and phrases in English? I'll give you some ideas on this episode, which is sponsored by Grammarly.
