    I know we have a japanese forum but alot of us here dont speak japanese or we know some other languages and i think it would be fun and interesting to share them with each other. I know that i am tri-lingual almost quad, and i would like to speak to learn other languages. This may have been suggested before- but im not really sure. Id just like to receive some feedback on what you think of this idea?

    So, you're suggesting a forum for ALL other languages, right? I think it's a good idea.

    That would be interesting. It could be a sort of cyber classroom or something. I'm learning Korean right now, and it would be fun if a few poeple who knew it well could teach me. There's even a feature in Windows XP that let's people type in Korean (like this: 안녕 하세요 ), as well as other languages.

    Hey, I'm some-what fluent in French, so I would enjoy this. Maybe we could have the forums like the RPG one, with all the sub-forum thingys.

    I could take care of the french forum, Since it's my first language.

    Considering there's so many languages we'll have to narrow it down to a select few.

    Well, I know a fair share of German, not that it really means anything. :p I also know some Russian.

    I'm also currently enrolled in a Japanese class, again, not that it really means anything.

    I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm all for a language forum. :anime:

    Sounds awesome! But why should we have to narrow it down? I mean, seeing all kinds of weird languages is the best part. I propose that we have a languages forum, with a few popular languages as sub-catagories, and the main as a place for all other languages. This way everyone's happy.

    Wacha think?

    Sounds perfect, UFOtaku. I meant to narrow it down for the amount of subforums, though. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

    Why Japanese? We already have a Japanese Forum where people ask questions about the language and such. It's either we get rid of that one and merge it with the subforums or leave it there.

    Yeah, I was thinking of merging it there.. even though leaving it alone without the language forum will be kind of weird ^^;

    But still, we have to see what our admins think first, then we can dream what languages we can have :)


    Took me 5 times to write languages right, IF I spelled it right now...

    I can do Spanish & German (even though im a little ruff around the edges & better at spanish) I was thinking that maybe we should also try to concentrate also on helping people learn the languages with grammar and all that stuff, that was my original idea. We should definitely have a Korean forum as well.

    I know a fair amount of French.But I could always use more.This sounds like a semi-cool idea.

    If the vote is passed I reckon a 'European languages' forum will be more suitable. I'm in for the idea. I wouldn't mind fortifying my French and Spanish language skills.
