ESL Editing in Minneapolis

Minneapolis and St. Paul are home to one of the most linguistically diverse communities in the Midwest. Large Somali, Hmong, Spanish, Vietnamese, Oromo, and Arabic-speaking communities live across the metro. The Twin Cities have the largest Somali community and one of the largest Hmong communities in the United States. Many residents write important academic and professional documents in English as a second or third language.

Each first language leaves predictable traces. Hmong and Vietnamese verbs do not change form for tense, so writers may leave time to context. Spanish speakers may drop subject pronouns or rely on false cognates such as actual and eventually. Somali and Arabic mark definiteness differently from English, so a and the need attention. These patterns aren't signs of weak writing, and experienced editors fix them without losing the writer's voice. See Editor World's English editing service for non-native speakers.

• ESL academic editing: Journal articles, theses, and dissertations edited with an understanding of the grammar patterns that arise from each language background.
• ESL business editing: Proposals, reports, and correspondence edited to meet the expectations of English-speaking clients, regulators, and partners.
