I made this thread onle for beg you all pardon for my way to speak/talk/type English in this forum, sometimes I feel myself like a ignorant person because I can't speak English in the right way, and maybe you won't understand very well what I want to say or my words meaning. There is so many stranger in this fomus lots from Europe like me, but everyone can talk it perfectly like Barb, Vince, Joel, Hanna StingingPistol and much more, or others from the South America April, Elva, Pepe, etc.... I would want to talk like them but I'm not able, sorry I feel so jealous sometimes and it's bad. For all these reason I want apologies you again, I'm only a silly Italian but I've never found a place like this, nobody can loves Blind Melon in Italy like me (I think) no furum/no chat room about them, nothing, maybe I have to go in a place where I can talk my stupid language with poeople who talk this stupid language too, but I really don't want to leave Sorry for this vent I'm not a drama-queen or maybe I am, I don't know, I really don't know I only want to say you sorry and please don't hate me.

Marika!! I've noticed that you have been feeling this way for a while now. I want you to know that I have never had a problem understanding you. I think that you speak/type english just fine. Obviously there will be words that you may not understand and if you don't just ask. I have to ask all the time when Elva or April say something in spanish. Atleast you are doing your best and that's all that matters. Stop worrying and don't even think of leaving. It wouldn't be the same here without you and We would all come to Italy and find you anyway. P.S. The longer you stay.. the longer you will better understand the stupid english language <3 Shana Se parlerà anche nell'italiano. Ma l'avvertirò. Sarà molto peggiore di i suoi inglesi. Molto Molto peggiore.

#smileyhug# Marika, don't feel like that. Like Shana said, we can understand you. I have always been able to understand that you say. Even if it's not said in perfect english, we get the idea and that's what matters. I don't expect any of you guys to speak perfect english when it's not your primary language. I took spanish and a little italian in high school and I wouldn't be able to converse with the proficiency you have demonstrated. Believe me, you are a valuable member of this forum and it just wouldn't be the same if you decided to stop coming here just because of a silly language barrier. If you don't know how to say something just write it in italian and we can use an online translator. Just don't worry about it, okay. #hoonsmiley#

Marika!! Your English is good! I've never had difficulties to understand what you're saying and I'm sure your English is much better than mine I know it's sometimes hard to express yourself with foreign language... When i joined this forum I didn't like to write here because I thougt that everyone will laugh at me because my English is so bad.. But I'm sure no one cares if you make mistakes.. and everyone loves you here #smileyhug#

MARIKA!!! WE LOVE YOU!!! #smileyhug# Who cares about the silly language! You speak english great! Like others said, I always understand everything you say! I don't speak a perfect english either and this forum isn't about speaking perfect english, it's about sharing our passion for melon and you have a HUGE one! So don't worry! You're a very important part of this forum, I always miss you when you don't post! I'm glad that (apparently) things got slower at work and you post more now! How can you even think of leaving #chair# Shana is right, we'd come to Italy to get you back here! And like Shana said, it's a perfect way to learn english better! When I started posting here it took me ages to write a post comparing to now. Now when I chat with melons on YIM and I have another friend from France or Slovenia on msn I have to think twice how to say something in french/slovene I have to do this "click" to change my mind to "french/slovene mode", lol. Anyhoons, I'm sure nobody cares here, the important thing is to share our love for melon and have a good time #hoonsmiley#

Marika, your English is great! To be honest I think it's as good as Elva's or Barbara's etc. Anyway, I can't speak any Italian so I'm not in a position to judge you on your English. And you're not the only one; I know nobody who likes Blind Melon in my area either You're a great member! And as Shana said, these places are great to improve your English; I think I might join some sort of Spanish or French forum so I can improve; I no longer learn the languages at school but I want to continue learning them. ....And how the hell can anyone hate you?!!?!?! We all LOVE you!!! #smileyhug#

Hey Marika, You are sweet and great, anyone who knows you in this world are very lucky cause you are an awsesome person, and Melon fan, and we all love you. I think it is so much cooler that you are from Italy it just makes u more unique.

Marika,
I have always understood your posts. There has never been one of your posts that I didn't understand. And I doubt anyone here is a grammar/spelling teacher. And really, you are making an effort, which cannot be said f or many Americans. (I know Shana can speak Spanish) but I would say by and large, most Americans know only one language. We can all learn something from you, not only because you can share your experiences from Italy, but also the fact that you step outside your comfort zone in an effort to communicate. I am quite impressed with your language abilities and your willingness to try something new and unfamiliar. I have said it before, and I'll say it again: "Melons are amazing people!" You are an amazing melon, and I think everyone here agrees! #yes# #thumb#

Ah Marika... WE ALL LOVE YOU... Your English is fine... You, along with all the other talented little Melonheads on this forum who can speak more than one language make me feel small in comparison... It seems to me that you speak Italian AND English better than me...lol
