RE: Writing course / Curso de escritura #wewrite - L4
Hi Kitty, I find the contest topics you have here really interesting, and I would love to participate. However, I have some concerns about a few rules:
The rule stating that comments should be 50+ words seems unnecessary. Meaningful engagement should be more important than word count.
The requirement to save and leave links to your comments underneath your post seems a bit demanding. What do you think?
Lastly, I think everyone should be free to join this contest; I mean, language shouldn't be a barrier because, with the help of Google Translate, anyone can read. And posting to a specific community, too; if a particular community doesn't accept posts in other languages apart from a particular one, then users should be allowed to post on their blog. I hope you can make some adjustments!

I think to summarize, it is important to understand that in a writing course, there are things to teach, as you may have seen: writing meaningful posts and comments.
This is not learned through theory but through repeated practice, and also by reading other entries with their comments.
What I have been able to realize is that people in general just want to go and publish and make it as easy as possible, but I will tell you this phrase that I once read that explains a little what it means to take a course, with a level of difficulty : Do the difficult thing and then you can do things easier... it's not the other way around. If we make an effort, we will increase our level and it will be a plus for us.
In any case, we are available to explain any questions and support those who wish to participate. Thanks for your feedback. Blessings.
I completely understand your point, and as I mentioned earlier, I have no issue with either commenting or writing in the preferred language. I was only concerned about non-English speakers, Thank you so much for your response. Nonetheless, let's remain optimistic and hope for the best!
