Should I Thankfully to Medium So Much?

Need to grow up English skills would definitely need stuff you can take. You can download Grammarly, use it on Google Translate, or anything translation apps you can find easily. Either I do, because those are the only apps that could help me to grow up my English skills. But, someone tells me that those don't really help and even the professor that they said can detect how far original that written or not if you wanted to write a journal or an article. 

Well, as a secondary language person, I definitely don't trust myself. Sometimes happens. I see the articles on Medium, it is so really good at English writing. I want to become like that. I don't know how looks like. I know they are native-speaker, but part of them also is a secondary language person. Medium is one of thing could help me more reading that I needed. Thank you Medium! I love Medium!

Then, where could I improve my writing? I will use these apps that I have a chance to grow up my writing skills. What these are? Instagram, Twitter, and Blogspot. I love these apps. I will write it about the sports (NBA, NFL, or soccer, occasionally badminton as well). I also write about politics or social issues, but I don't, because I feel that's not my skill. I fear I will mistake if I write it before I know something first. 

What do I wish? Just follow how they write and use English grammar or phrases they usually did. I would avoid Indonesian grammar while I write English, but I know that would be tough, but I tried to do and I afford it, though. I know I need more time, but I hope I will reach as my level as their level. 

I don't give any advice to you on how to grow up your English skills, because what I did was actually my experiences and I feel I need more time. I'm not a perfect or a native as good as expected. But, I tried to write what I did and had. I have to write because my idea should be run off right now, cause I haven't time tomorrow. 

I recommend that I wanted to point out is that just read on Medium. Medium is the only thing that you had. I don't need to explain why and what my reasons are but it's a recommendation you should try. There are hard words and unknown words that are never learned anywhere. I hope you will like Medium as well.

Good luck!

Thank you, everyone!

Gloss, A Forgotten Learning Foreign Language and Translate

I was testing a student who stood up to share her short story in signs in our class. She was so good at signing despite sign language being the third language that she is learning and isn't a native speaker. She was confused about gloss or glosa in Indonesian. That's the thing that is most often forgotten when learning and translating a foreign language. Foreign language teachers almost never teach about gloss to students and yeah, I am sure some do and some do not.  The Gloss (Gr) means when a word is attached to a sign in simple terms. It refers to the way that ASL (American Sign Language) names signs in order to give a sense of the meanings behind them. A word or word that represents that sign does not signify its meaning in any way (source: What Are Glosses in Sign Language/  https://www.ilovelanguages.com/what-are-glosses-in-sign-language ). A gloss happens because it causes when a student who learns a second language but their mind that used to be a native language as bo...
