What are some effective ways to improve your English writing skills?

[Moseschidera]

For those of you who, like me, did not grow up speaking English as your native language, improving your writing can feel intimidating. We may understand speech quite well but putting thoughts onto paper is a whole other challenge.
I have been trying various methods to strengthen my ability to write clearly and effectively in English. Some things I have found particularly helpful are practicing different types of writing every day, such as keeping a journal, leaving online comments, or penpal letters. This daily writing has allowed me to get comfortable putting sentences together without fear of making mistakes.

How have you approached strengthening your English writing skills? What methods have you discovered to work well or not so well? I would love to hear any tips or strategies from others, please share what has helped you improve your ability to write clearly and cohesively in English.

English is not my mother tongue but I went to a school where English was the medium of instruction. We were taught different skills to write English correctly.

English is not my native language. Ever since elementary school, I have been studying English. I improve my language skills by watching movies and TV series in English, reading books, and so on.
