77. How Learning a Foreign Language Helps You With Writing
Show Notes

The better you understand the internal architecture of writing, the easier you’ll find writing and the better you’ll be doing it. Writing is made of components, and these components are similar from one language to another. The best way for you to understand the components of writing is to study a foreign language. Most of us take our mother tongue for language, especially if we only speak one. By studying a foreign language, you will be forced to establish linguistic points of comparison between your native language and your target language. This process will give you great insights into how your native language works and how you can use its components to make your writing effective.
