Why should I choose an editing service that specializes in ESL (English as a second language)?

It is more difficult to edit documents for non-native speakers than it is for native speakers.  Many native speakers of English without ESL experience do not understand the difficulty of writing in a foreign language. You need an editor that has extensive experience in working with non-native speakers of English. Our editors are sensitive to the cross-cultural aspects of communicating in a second language.

 

Do you edit documents for native speakers?  

Top of Page

 

You bet!  It's harder to edit documents for non-native speakers than it is for native speakers.  Since we're terrific at editing for non-native speakers, just imagine what we can do for native speakers!

It may seem unfair, but people judge how intelligent and competent you are by how good your writing is. If your writing contains errors -- even small errors -- readers form a low opinion of you. Even if you are a proficient speaker of English, non-native errors occur in your writing. GoodSense English removes all traces of interference from your native language in your document and delivers perfect English directly to you.  

We edit your document so that the language is free of cultural assumptions that cause problems for the English-speaking audience. Our editors are experts in making your writing reflect the way that native speakers of English express ideas.  They ensure that the tone and style are appropriate for your purpose.

 

Are your editors native speakers of English?

Top of Page

 

Yes, we hire only native speakers of English with extensive experience in working with non-native speakers.  Our editors have taught ESL and have lived in many countries around the world. They understand how hard it can be to learn another language - and how hard it can be to write in another language.
