Writing is an art and like everything else that requires practice to perfect it, you have to start somewhere. Not everyone can be a writer but that does not mean that you cannot be enterprising enough to put down your thoughts simply enough to get your team members to understand you. It starts with the basics which include grammar, vocabulary, how to construct your sentences well and, to emphasize, keep the message as simple as possible.
Writing is a language which needs to be understood to be able to become fluent at it. Whether it is Mandarin, Arabic, French or English
We are not short of resources when it comes to being able to access information, translation, meaning of words, the availability of thesaurus - all via the Google or other basic material in the form of books, journals, magazines or just a newspaper that you will have in your home.
I have come across many people who are trying to learn English and say it is very difficult but they are never conversing in English. That will make it even more difficult to learn it because you are not practicing its use with other people who know the language and can correct it if you are wrong.
The more you write, the better you will become at it. Use your children as learning blocks - if you are not an English speaker, your children will be taught the language at school and they are your best teachers. Use them to improve your abilities. It is very easy for a child to correct you without making you feel inferior or judge you.
Once you start reading books, your understanding improves and you are able to construct sentences easily. The rest is practice! I am sure your team members appreciate that you are not a native English speaker but still make an effort to write to them, it does not matter whatever means you utilise as long as you are able to convey your message to them, you should be ready to learn and not be offended when anyone corrects you.
