Hi ! I'm a "old" member, since around 3 years. I read most of your threads since a long time, but I'm a little bit shy to post, because I'm a french speacking girl. I read fluently threads in english, but unfortunatly I've a serious lack of practice. So, there's no problem to enjoy reading the threads on the forums. I continue to follow your posts and hoping the forum keep a high level of activity from the members. Sorry for the grammatical hardcore :whistling: A strong Astro fan, Darkgirl :ninja:

one of our mods speaks french primarily, I have even heard of one member that used an online translator lol and your English is good, so don't be shy to jump into the conversation.

diehard67 : Thank you very much, you're very nice :D Online translator... yes, very useful sometimes, but in an ideal world, I'm suspicious translating whole sentences with this tool. You put a french sentence in the machine, and sometimes you get an insignificant capharnaum :lol: Better for words alone...
If the french member is the girl I think, she use it perfectly, because her english is very good !

Anime Girl : Nice to meet you too ! Yeah, 2009... 3 or 4 year... I'm a little dyslexic :lol:

Welcome, glad you've found the courage to join us. And I agree, the translating sites can be a real 'patente a gosses'. :p

I don't know if you are referring to me, but I'm pretty sure I'm the person diehard67 was referring to. ;)

I think your English is just fine, we understand your point perfectly. Why don't you actually use this as an opportunity to improve your skills even more? Your written English will not improve if you stick to reading only. I'm much more comfortable in English than I was when I joined in 2005, and my posts here are a good part of the reason. ;)

Don't be shy! :) Many of us here do not have English as a first language.

so darkgirl I speak french too I'm billigual if you need help btw I'm also Canadian. Nice to see your on the forum, another thing I find the translators are not always correct. Here's a couple words for you in french Darkgirl.

Bonjour, comment sa va mon amie. J'aime parler en francais, je m'excuse je peux pas mis les accents, mon ordinateur la pas. Je suis Canadienne aussi, et je suis en immersion francaise. Depuis que j'etais 2-3 ans j'ai commencer a parler le francais

Novacain : Thank you, I'm glad too :) Yes, as you said about translators : tsé, c'est des vraies patentes à gosse ces affaires-là" llol

Solarcat20 : Thank you so much :)

Astro Forever : I'm grateful, thanks, you're nice ! I'm more confident :D

racoonangel : Ce n'est pas grave pour les accents. Le français est une langue difficile et compliquée. Tu es très bonne en français, bravo !

I'm touched to consider we are some canadians on the forum. Cheers my friends. And thank you again everybody for this "hello" :heart:
