So far, although I’m a Frenchman, I’ve been blogging in English only. Indeed, one of the reasons why I enjoy blogging is that Tech IT Easy allows me to confront my views with people that don’t necessarily think the same way – and if I may generalize a little bit, this is something less likely to happen between people who share the same culture & language. Furthermore, blogging helps me keep in touch with good friends living abroad and meeting fantastic and driven new guys, with lots of ideas.

However, I feel like writing stuff on which my friends from abroad wouldn’t give a damn: Johnny Halliday decided to leave France for Switzerland to avoid taxation (I think this is a good move: it might create a media hype and urge politicians to do something at last about France’s tax burdens); I got some really crappy service by my online bank ING Direct and I’m planning to move out quickly; some French-only e-Commerce are doing a pretty good job and don’t plan to move abroad, uninteresting stuff for an international readership.

As you may have understood, I want to blog in English AND French (and mostly in English, don’t worry – maybe 80% in English, 20% in French) but will start doing it on the condition that:

1) My non-French speaking readership (80% of my readers) tells me “it’s allright, I won’t feel frustrated by not understanding every single post of yours”.

2) My French-speaking readership (20% of my readers but 50% of my comments) tells me it’s a good idea that won’t keep them away from posting comments (the French post less comments on English language blogs than on French-speaking blogs).

I need your help to improve this blog, please take a sec to tell me if I’d be right or wrong to switch in Frenglish.

Nota Bene 1: Michel de Guilhermier, a French blogger and entrepreneur, did switch to English – French from French, only a while ago. Botton line: traffic increase I guess, but I noticed his posts in English don’t quite get as many comments as his posts in French.

Nota Bene 2: As I’m sure you have understood from my former posts, I blog for comments, not for traffic. The day I’ll stop getting comments (most of the time value-creating), I’ll stop blogging.
