I must admit, my 1st impressions are to be not too keen on the idea, but easy for me to say because i'm English, & 99% of ALL posts are in English, but if it does genuinely help people out, then it might be worth persevering with it. I just thought everything was ok as it was. :)

Valid point. We could try it out for a while, and evaluate later :)

If it aint broke, don't fix it; it seems such a shame to dabble with such an excellent forum just for the sake of change.

I have mixed feelings about this section. It is fantastic that Dutch and Belgian people can meet at the Dutch section and talk about Mark. Especial those who didn

Fieneke,  You have expressed your feelings on this subject much more eloquently than I could ever have done and I am English! LOL!  ::)
I think, as I already have said, that it could divide our lovely forum, but if we keep these different sections, I think it should be as a fun thing. For instance, my German is very basic and it was nice for me to test the small amount I know!  It could also encourage  those who are not confident in the English language, to talk on the main forum.  The more serious and important discussions should be kept to the main parts of the forum. 

The worst thing that could happen is that we become divided into our separate countries and talk amongst ourselves!  ::)

i just see these subparts as little homes for people who want to say something in the main part, but lack the english knowledge needed to do so. and sometimes it is just easier to post in your native language.
for me the main forum is the "english" one.
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

Fieneke,  I am laughing out loud at your knowledge of the French language!  Of course, they are the most important phrases to know, especially if you meet Mark!   :o   :P

ahemmm, as a native French speaker, I know that these are the most important phrases you can know in French, and the Brits love the accent (oulala!!)  ;D  ;D

It's alright Pottel!  ;)

Haha Val and Rollergirl............I might disappoint Mark because I didn't shout  .."ENCORE....ENCORE!!!"  :P ;D

OMG I need to stop talking like this. I have to think about my reputation being a decent lady!  ;D

Wow, Fieneke.   I really admire your story.    I wish that more US Americans felt that way and were not so lazy about learning other languages.
But a spoonful of forgiveness
Goes a long, long way
And we all should do our best
To get along

Fieneke,  I always wonder also if Mark knows French? Spanish? "Je suis desole"  "El macho"

The main forum will always still be where we all hang out , so " why worry?"
