I often write on the swedish board for ex-JW: http://www.network54.com/Forum/349340/
It's so much easier for me to write in swedish. It takes a lot of effort to find the right words in english.
I understand most of what I read here, but it means more hard work to try to express my thoughts in english.
Anyway, I finally wanted you all to know that I appreciate this board. I have learned a lot here.
Hugs from Madame in Sweden
And yet your posts are more clearly written than many posters who apparently do have English as a first language. Welcome to the board, Madame, and thank you for the effort you have put in to posting!

Welcome -and your English is brilliant
Having been a language student I understand that, especially when it's such an emotional topic. Keep working on it. :)
Madame, welcome to JWD.
I have read some posts and had some PMs, that I could not decipher, you are doing great, keep up posting, it will get easier. Being a high school dropout, actually never attended high school, dropped out after 8th grade, 13 years old. It takes time; but, it does get easier. Philip
Welcome to the forum Madam.
Your English is very good. Much better than my Dansk.
Cheers

I can remember some years we had a sister from France visit our congo here in Tennessee. She knew some of our pioneer sisters that had visited her in France. Anyway her English was fluent. We had a sister in our hall that was an unusually fast talker and was famous for it. We could understand her but while having a conversation after the meeting the French sister said "I can't understand her she talks to fast" and we said "Well we can barely understand her ourselves...
Hi Madame. Glad to hear there's a board for Sweden too!
Hallo Madame
Jag hoppas allt är väl med dig och att du hittat hit är ju kul.
Hälsar din gamle vän Guran drån sverige som surfat här i många år..
have a good time
Thanks to all of you for your encouraging comments!
And thanks to Tord, who I met on the Swedish board, where he calls himself Guran!
Perhaps he is the first on this board to write in Swedish, "the language of honour och heroes"!
Guran: hur får man till det med flagga och övriga personuppgifter i vänsterkanten?
Well, I'll now and then will try to excercise my English here on the board.
Love to you all from Madame in Sweden
