Well, I certainly hope so… I would like to help people learn since I see a lot examples like the one you just mentioned. This forum is the only place I can offer it, and I can meaningfully express my thoughts only in English:)

That is definetely something that we need around here, though I doubt anyone would bother showing up =/
Either way, best of luck to ya!

I'm sure that is what so many people up here need so freaking much! Hope you have enough enthusiasm to realise this idea. Best of luck.

> If you are interested in learning a bit more English

yes! :D

For people who do speak English and just want to practice: in your case the best way to learn is to practice… so you are all welcome to send me a private message and we can just discuss a topic of your choosing for 30 minutes or more. I will try to correct some of your mistakes.

For people who do not know English or do know it just enough to get a taxi :o) I am currently looking for some study materials that might help.

:ok:
good luck ;)
