Blogging is such a great way to practise writing in a second language. It’s relaxed enough that you don’t need to worry about being too formal but there’s pressure on you to write correctly because there will be people reading it.
Keeping a blog can make you more accountable for your commitment to learning a language, too. If you have comments asking where you are and why you haven’t written for ages, it’s certainly an incentive to get online and practise again.
You can even get some free tuition. Native speakers of your new language will often be happy to correct your writing in the comments beneath each post and give you valuable advice on what might be a more natural way to say something.
It’s great fun! You can meet new friends and have fun expressing yourself in your new language. When learning becomes that much fun, you’re bound to reach your goals quicker.

*practicing
No – practising. In formal British English, ‘practise’ is a verb and ‘practice’ is a noun. It works in the same way as ‘advise (verb)’ and ‘advice (noun)’.
Agree!
Starting a blog is the best way to practice your new language, from there, you can correct all the mistakes you made through the comments of the people who knows the language very much and improve as you go on blogging.
