My grammar sucks so much

[papie]

Ugh. I'm translating my questionnaire (for my PhD research) from french to english and I'm cringing at the sentence structures. Granted, translating is always harder than writing from scratch, but I really need to two versions to be identical.

I'll need to have DH reread everything and correct it, but it is even embarassing showing it to him, lol.

You're not giving yourself a new credit. You do SO well with english! Although I'd imagine translating into something identical is difficult.

[Marle]

You know that they can't really be identical! Give yourself a little credit.

I have a lot of issues with run on sentences because that's the way we do it in Spanish.

[papie]

lol guys, thanks, but I wasn't looking for compliments. It IS cringe-worthy. I'll finish translating the cover letter and then print it and rewrite it and then have DH rewrite it too.

I had no idea that English was not your native language until last week. Looks pretty good to me!

thanks melinda. I think casual english is a lot easier than professional english
