I currently use commenting to not only add to a topic, but to strengthen my writing skills. It's difficult for me to write as I'm way more comfortable coding vs prose. But I know with practice, it'll help when I go to write articles.

I love this as well! Most people think that the only way to add value to the platform and to themselves is to write 2,000 word blog posts.
In reality, engagement in the platform is just as valuable. Long-form content is great but it isn’t the only way to add value to LeoFinance and grow the platform and your skills

Engagement is actually more important than most posts. From what I see, most of the latter are not very good. I applaud people for trying but I dont think the effort is there for the most part. People putting up 250 word posts are not trying really hard.
But comments anyone can do. It required dedication but the results are much larger.

Appreciate the positive vibes. Overcoming this indescribable anxious feeling when I go to write is a baffling challenge and this helps. I'm patient too though.. it's a journey.
A terrific approach. I love to see people enhancing their skills.
I am still trying to master Markdown so I feel your pain. LOL

Mastering any computer language, including style coding, gets addictive at some point I've found.
I have enough addictions as it is. Cant be adding more. I will never sleep.

I've personally learnt a lot from the comments section of a post. That's where many minds are poured on the same subject and you see diverse views.

I can say the same for myself.
There's no better way to get the best out of HIVE than engagement.
Reading comments and taking part in the conversation helps a great deal to have a deep understanding om what's being discussed.

Yes indeed, time is the key.. and patience.
That’s great to hear, for me, it helps with learning English. The more I write and comment I learn to write better English.

It helps me with learning English too.
The sad part is that English is my only language.
Oh well.

Hahaha it’s my fourth spoken language out of 5 in order of learning.
I learned English via the tv, music and people started in 2011. Didn’t have it back in the days in school. So I learned it the parrot fashion way. Until I started to write here in Hive, I realised I wrote words how I thought they should be. By sounds… so my husband had to proofread and correct a lot in the beginning. As I progress that is getting less and less. (He is not reading comments just my posts.)
Words like heart and heard, I didn’t realise which one was what as my pronunciation is different hahaha they sound the same.
Or build and built, to and too etc.
getting there eventually. 😎

I found porn and Mafia movies a great way to learn a language.
I cant ask where the bathroom is but I can cuss very well.
So there is that.
Your comments are terrific. Without you mentioning it, I didnt know you have a problem with English. Your comments seem fine to me.

Lol
I can now say I enjoy nature movies/ documentaries but then you will start to laugh out loud hahaha 🤣 😂🤣😂🤪 as can be the same…
So let’s just leave it by that.
Thanks a lot that’s nice to hear 😎

Very important for the species to carry on.
Although I wonder if they just do it for fun.
Something to ponder.

Some do… hahaha

You're English, and especially grammar, is better than most native speaking folk I know.
I find it fascinating you are able to learn the way you did. I grew up with a native French speaking father and relatives while sister was multi-lingual. Even with that influence I couldn't speak a lick of French, Spanish.. nothing. But, watch someone code and I learn quickly.
Thank you kindly @nthtv 😎
I love to learn.
My parents were/are Dutch and German.
I was born in France, but we left when I was only 2 years old. Never learned that properly. I can make some sentences but nothing more than you would need on a holiday. After that we ended up in Germany until my 6th so that was basically my first spoken language… then 28 years in The Netherlands where I had to switch etc. moved around a lot, over 30 times hahaha 🤣
They do say children are like sponges in early years, the older you get the harder it is apparently to learn a language.
To bad you didn’t pick it up.
Each their own… like you say.
I did build some websites with html but that’s it.
