I know this subject has not been broached before, but I would really like to congratulate our non-Enlish-speaking (Elizabeth - are those hyphens acceptable???? And are four exclamation marks OK or are three the norm?????) friends on the quality of their English in their posts on this board. Your English is excellent and your thoughts on whatever subject are always well-expressed. We should all compliment you on the standard of your English. Thanks for all your input - I really for one really appreciate your thoughts! Thanks Guys!!!!

Thanks to all English-speaking members for making their English comprehensible enough for us non-English-speaking members to understand.

What do I think? I THINK YOU ALL ROCK, BIG TIME, AND I THINK YOU PUT WE AMERICANS (and their educators) TO SHAME...

Private lessons? Oh you naughty boy, Ed...there is only one for whom my private tutoring is available...

It does make me remember fondly a time on the other board, when we wrote in French, Italian, and even Latin...(always the nerd, aren't I??)

As far as this teacher is concerned, you can hyphenate, exclaim, apostrophize, and anything else you like, just as long as you keep posting. This board is such a wonderful group of people...(do I REALLY get to be First Lady?????? Numero Uno? Ooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeee! How I LOVE this attention!)

Ed, je m'excuse; c'etais tres mechante. Je suis d'accord; ils sont tous des bons professeurs, et ils ont m'aide beaucoup. Merci, mille fois, a tous. A moi, il y as un seul prof qui est mon favori, mais je ne dirai. Il sais lui-meme, et il me comprend bien.

Any time you need some advice with English, I would be honored to help (... and that applies to everyone here. Smile)

Regarding the way Ham sand wishes are made in france , ou sont les toilettes is the perfect match. Wink

Well I'm just glad to have all of you here!

#1. For supporting Robben the way that you do. Robben, like many talented artists, just doesn't get the respect he deserves over here in the states.

#2. For keeping us up to date on all the great shows over there! It's the next best thing to being there!

Hope I can return the favor!

Thanks!

Please excuse my English.....I'm American Very Happy
