Hi zoners! I'm a zonner more than one year ago but almost never login because I'm so shy about my English! But it's time to stop my shynness and start to talk this language even if I will make some mistakes! I updated today my profile so you can get more informations about me there! I would like to say that I would like talk to some of you, know new people and have and contribute to enjoy and have a good time here! My job is classical pianist so of course music is my main interest but I think I'm open person and I like talk and laugh about everything else! You know, I'm latin from the South of Europe and here, we love laugh! I can speak portuguese, spanish, french and english! I really like help and listen people! I like help and give plesure to people with my music! I think the music is the most precious way to stop sadness and always give us some warm to our hearts! So, if you want talk to me, I'm here...

Hi and welcome to the zone.
Don't worry about your English. i find it very good. English is not my first language either so you are not the only one.
I hope you like the zone and if you have any questions feel free to ask me.
My name is Nikos, i am from Cyprus but i study in England. I can speak Greek and English.
And if you want to share with us some of your piano playing maybe you could upload a clip in your audio profile.

Hi and thank you Nikos! I surely will talk to you even because I like people from Cyprus! When I studied in France, I had some great schoolmates from Cyprus who speak greek like you! I really spent great time with them and I will tell you in private some jokes about it! Greetings! Jorge

welcome to the madhouse we call the zone! I, too, am a lover of music. It's a very important part of who I am. I absolutely love singing, and I also play a little bit of the violin and piano. I would love to learn how to play these instruments even more, and I'd also love to learn the flute. Anyway, I just wanted to welcome you, and don't worry about your English. You seem to speak it well. There's quite a few people here, who speak English as there first language, and they dont' even speak it that well, or at least write it that well. LOL. So, don't worry about that.

Hi and welcome to the Zone. I was a piano major in college many years ago, and still suplement my income with music. Feel free to ask questions of any of us. You'll find this a great way to practice your english. I used to be realy involved in ham radio, and used that to improve my languages as well.

Hi, I'm Bob from Texas, and English is my only language.
I want to welcome you to the zone, with it's madcap insanity.
Don't worry about your English, it's not how you say something that counts, it's what you say that counts, and you seem to do a good job of communicating very well.

Like others have said, if you have questions about this place, send us a private message or quick note.

Be talking to you later.
Bob

Welcome to the Zone. Be careful, it can steal your sanity. You have no reason to worry about your English. It's just fine for it not being your first language. Cheers.

HI FAIAIL,
nnNice to meet you. I think your english is very understandable. I've talked to some folks in voice chat roooms that i could hardly understand at all. I think thats all thats necessary in speaking a second language, that you can understand what's being said and be understood. Take care and have a nice evening,
wonderwoman

Hello, Faial.

I'm Jim, from Missouri, and you certainly write english better than a lot of the native speakers that inhabit this place.

I'm a drummer who played trumpet in high school band, so I too have a love of music.
Welcome aboard.
