No mylotter from one European country? But why?????

Stop French / English rivalry? Where's the fun in that??

Accepted that the Europeans are rich, does this equate to justify that they remain segregated from the rest of the world? Is not this an irony that the concept of global village got its birth there only and now if they all push themselves into their own cocoon and groove, how the international fraternity would advance. I know many Europeans do not know English and this does not mean that those who are non native English speakers are paupers and think that only English would bring them bread? Think about the China. Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world. What they need from the Europe and America that they are keen on learning English? And as you are emphasizing Europe's being the rich country do you think all those here at mylot are after the $10 that for that they are here and learning English? Let the French people too come and show their zeal of fraternity or they should stop rivalry with England.

I am sorry but I don't mean English/French rivalry. I am learning French now and I found many English and French words are similar. Just like Chinese and Japanese. I can hold the general meaning of Japanese through I had never learn it and I believe Frenchman can understand the English meaning( or Englishman can understand French, only by reading) so maybe they think they need not to learn English first. This is only my guess. I don't have any hostility or bad meaning in my response. It is only my view of this. If I made you angry. I am really sorry.

You are 100% right. France is the country and neither you nor me have seen a soul from there. But do you think this is true patriotism? English is no longer the language of the English people, it is the International language now. Hence in such condition if the Russian and the French men block them who would be th loser?

The thrill is gone you have revealed the answer. Should have waited for more responses to come before letting the cat out. Never mind since I am the first respondent I deserve to get your quicky comment. I think banning a foreign language from being taught in schools or for public use is all political motivated. I say this because our country heads have made a blunder of changing the teaching mode from English to our national language in all schools though they do have English as a subject. But it is not enough and most of our graduates are handicap in their spoken or written English. They lose confidence when they seek for employment as they can't interact well in English. The close minded political leaders are to be blamed for the poor command of English in all level of society in my country. They forgot that English is so important in today's world as without the mastery of this language, one can not advance further in parallel with the advanced western countries.

megaplaza, the fact is I have not seen even one participating in mylot. They might have only signed up but left soon after.

Oh so French has this reputation of being "different"?actually, this maybe out of topic but I read from yahoo news that French nationals, according to one survey, are not good tourists and have hard time relating to other nationals, they gave very small tips to tourist guides, waiters, etc. I was a little surprised because I always regarded French as wonderful and France is very romantic and spectacular country and everybody dreamed to visit this majestic country because of its rich history. Anyway, I want to learn French and Italian.hehehe. French and English are the two official languages of the United Nations. I am surprised again because I don't think half of the population of United Nations members know how to speak French, but then again, that's it.

Hi there, Even I had similar feeling that the French men hated to speak English for the reason you mentioned. But this is not fair. Now English is no longer UK's exclusive property. Do not think so?

Not that I can recall. I don't see many people from France online. There was one on Yuwie, but she was Indonesian, married to a French man. And there was one on Multiply, but he sent so many annoying things that I deleted him. Other than that, I can't think of anybody on any site.

Hi Dawn, i was hinting at France. Have you found any mylotter from that country? That speaks a volume of the reality.

Hi , no not from Ireland I was talking of the people from France. Have you seen any?

Hi there, by adjacent I separated the water lol. You have a strong points. To be proud on ones nation is one thing and being flexible to the outsider is another. If the English would not know how to greet a French man how can we think of it. But personally i like to listen the language

You know it rajiv, we have plenty of time for activities like mylot

Hello krajibg! I really enjoyed this discussion and find myself answering to some responses.lol! No we are not a waste product, we are the kind of people who loved socializing and who love expressing opinions. Personally I am busy also with my work but I try to find time logging in here because this is my stress fighter. I find relaxation and relief every time I answered or posted discussion. I just try to manage my time.

As if we are the waste product and have nothing to do

Hi Derek, it is supposedly France which is a miss. May be I am no correct but have not seen any.

No those people have linguistic clash with English therefore would not like to communicate in English.

Come on all people have better things to do and there fore China do not play Cricket.This is the language my friend. and what I feel one should not be so sceptical about language.

Hi, No I do not have but during my 5+month's stay over here has given me to observe that none is there from France.

That is very interesting. You make me want to conduct my own investigation.

To be frank I have not seen any myloter from France. Have you?
