Looking for e-pal

[Sophie des Cartes]

Hello,

My name is Els, (nickname Sophie) and I'd like to have an e-pal from a different country (I'm from Holland) 'cause I'm interested in other cultures. I also would like to practise my English in this way.

My e-mail: 302792@agnietencollege.nl

(a bit strange, but I'ts my e-mail at school)

Thanks in advance

Hi my name is Sanne, my nickname sanny and I would like to talk to someone from another country with a different culture. You can always go to
Tell us about your culture!
but you can also e-mail me:
302624@agnietencollege.nl

 

[Tdol]

You're student neighbours? ;-)

 

[RonBee]

They go to the same school.

While you can of course communicate via email, members of the forum can talk to each other by using PMs (private messages). I give (and get) advice that way more or less regularly.

Hello

I'm a newbee here and I would like to chat in English with you... :wink:

Hi! Welcome!

I notice that you are from Belgium.

What's your first language?

 

[Beeuurkes]

[quote="RonBee]What's your first language?[/quote]

French.

Thank you for your welcome. [/quote]

Bonjour Beeuurkes,

j'oubliais de regarder a cet forum, donc j'ai te demand de quelle langue tu parles. Mais peux tu aussi parler flamand?

(In English: I forgot to look at this forum, so I asked you what kind of language you speak. But can you also speak Flamish?)

I can't speak it very well, so if you have any comment on it, please tell me. You are the only one I know, here to correct me on my French.

But anyway:

Welcome

Hi Sanny,

I think there's a place on this forum where we can chat in an other language than English.
So, If you want to meet me there, that could be great fun...

Mijn Nederlands is afschuwelijk... maar wel...
Kan toch mijn best doen. :wink:

That would be the Other Languages folder. Go tohttps://www.usingenglish.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=21.

Um, what is "Mijn Nederlands is afschuwelijk"?

 

[Beeuurkes]

Um, what is "Mijn Nederlands is afschuwelijk"?

That simply means that I am not good at all in Dutch.

Ah, I understand now.

(We would use at instead of in there. Say: "I am not good at all at Dutch.")

What about "Kan toch mijn best doen"?

 

[Beeuurkes]

What about "Kan toch mijn best doen"?

Translation : ... but I will try anyway.

And thanks for the correction. (to be good AT sth) :wink:

So Beeuurkes,
you can speak a little bit Dutch. Where did you learn this?
And how was my French???

Salut Sanny,

Am so happy that you've post back. Suppose you're at school now.
Your French wasn't bad at all. If you like, I will correct it for you.

Bonjour Beeuurkes,

(In English: I forgot to look at this forum, so I asked you what kind of language you speak. But can you also speak Flamish?)

J'ai oublié de regarder sur ce forum. Je te demande donc quelles langues parles-tu (or according what you meant : quelle est ta langue maternelle). Last sentence: OK.

If our teacher staff doesn't mind, maybe could I open a subtopic "French" in the topic "Other languages" where I could help you (or anyone willing to) further.

Kheb Nederlands op school geleerd.
I have learned Dutch at school

:lol:

That's perfectly okay. That's what it's for.

I'd like to say hi to Beeuurkes, Sanny, Ronbee and the rest. erm..let me introduce myself first. I'm from Malaysia but I'm studying in Japan at the moment. Though English is not my first language, I have a great passion for it, somehow. Hope I can improve my English here. By the way, Ronbee, can you speak French as well?
curious......

No, I only speak English. (I do speak a little German, but I am not exactly fluent at it.)
