Hi Mary-Anne

You're right, there isn't many american or english speaking people on these forums, it's a pitty, the multiculturalism is a good thing, but it means that delcampe.com is not known enough in the english-speaking community. ( although it is listed in the first places on stamps portals in the Us) Its our duty to inform foreign collectors to come here, i do it every time i met a comrade on the web. Unfortunatly, Shakespeare langage is not my mother tongue, but i appreciate the exchange of ideas, and to do some great deals with other passionated in coins, militaria, etc...well hope there's more people here in the future.

Best regards!!

Hi there Anubis,

How kind of you to answer my call for english speaking correspondants .
Your english is really exellent. As I have a French husband and french friends, I have few occasions to speak, and less to write, in english. I think it would be a good idea for all our bilingual members to come and chat here once in a while. It does a lot of good to think in an other language than the one we use regularly. I collect faience plates and objects. (barbotines) and piggy banks before 1940.
Thankyou for your message.

Hi Marie Anne
When I try to speak to you in french you don't answer , then in english
-- I am a neighbour- I live and teach art in Saint Jean de Braye, and I got a " bridgemania" for two years. I just published my website and some friends from Japan , Portugal Netherlands ...will ask for a translation in english hard job !!! Now my english learnt at school 40 year ago needs to improve! Do you go to regonial "bourses aux collections": were you in marcilly on last sunday? salutations Miwag

Good morning,
I'm thrilled to find some new english speaking neighbors. I don't have a lot of time to visit bourses as I have a store in Sully that requires my full attention.
I taught school also in Boston for 11 years. When I arrived in France, I changed my professionnel cursus and worked at the US Embassy in Patis and now "antique dealer"!!! A little variety never hurt anyone.
Have a good day and thankyou for the little "english pause".
My french is almost acceptable too.

I never realised how many of you can write English so well. I doubt that if I tried the same thing on ebay USA I would have so many responses. Just one word. BRAVO. I always knew that europeans had more culture than my compatriots. You all contribute to reinforce my decision to live in europe.

Hi there Frenchfroggy,

If you're still encline to speak english, no problem at all, english is my mother tong, even I never went in school in the UK, I also try to practice when ever I can to improve my writting.

I don't think the problem is that they're not enouth anglo-saxon people on this forum, I just think they're too shy to come out & speak.

We also are starting to feel that on the french forum too!

I'm starting to think we should tell around us: that within this year, the one who leaves the most frequent messages on the forum could win a prize, we'd see the effects quite quickly I guess!

Cheers from a geordie friend!
