I have an upper intermediate English level, but I am not 100% fluent. So I am afraid my content would be weird or too ESL.

I had the idea of writing content in Spanish, then translate it to English and check it with Grammarly. Is this a good idea?
(I am a Spanish native speaker)

Will I have trouble getting my content ranked in google due to the hemingway algorithm? Like it might detect my content as ESL.
I am planning on starting an amazon niche site.

Do you have any tips on how to write content in English for a non-native speaker?

I'm impressed, your writing above is better than most Native-writer comments I read here, between your ability to write and access to Hemingway and Grammarly, I'm confident you'll be fine, good luck.

My English sucks too, but I just use the F word a lot as fillers and it somehow magically makes every sentence I form well spoken/written.

Just write the content in a personal and informal tone.

People will excuse mistakes if it's written that way, even from native speakers.

Think about how many typos, grammatical mistakes and slang is used in everyday speak.

Your English is pretty good for a non native.

Just keep practising and have someone to give you feedback. Google won’t be your problem, but real humans will be able to spot that the content is a bit off.

You won’t be able to translate and add Grammarly. It will still sound clunky and awkward even if the grammar and spelling is completely fine. There are certain nuances involved.

It's just a language. You don't have to be native to that place to become fluent. Practice will make you perfect. Keep reading books and keep writing and eventually you'll get better.
