Why not present English documents in a blog post in English? To me, it is self-evident. In my view, using good grammar tools facilitates my work. At the same time, I hope that correcting my articles will be easier for my corrector as well!

I have a lot of fun in the role of blogger. Of course, writing in a foreign language is a challenge, but my intention is always to improve my English level. In fact, the more I practice, the more I like it! Maybe my free toolkit can help you too."



Effective app Linguee

First I recommend Linguee, one of my favorite online English-French dictionaries. This app gives a fast definition or translation. Also, it doesn’t matter if I write in French or in English. I don’t need to select the language again. The reading is effective because the text and the translation are divided into two side-by-side columns. Furthermore, when we scroll through the page, there are many examples related to keywords.


When I compose a text, I write in the English box to use the translation app (at the top of the dictionary page) in French, but not the opposite! Often, I open two tabs: French-English dictionary and translator.



The Thesaurus of The Free Dictionary varies the vocabulary

I think that a writer who plays with words has more chance of catching a reader’s interest. So, a thesaurus like The Free Dictionary is a key tool for diversifying vocabulary. I appreciate it because the interface presents the synonyms, as would do a brainstorming diagram.


Besides, if you want to navigate in one place, the Internet site offers nine different tabs: specific dictionaries, encyclopedias, idioms, and more.



Grammarly to correct my blog posts

ree

By accident or rather by accepting cookies, I consented to Grammarly to correct my blog posts. This app is installed on my computer and operates with WordPress. In this way, I refer to the writing assistant that reviews spelling, grammar, and, punctuation.


Even with all these tools, we know that no app can replace a person who writes well in English.
