Maksi,
Be happy you do not need to speak English to communicate with us! We are happy to figure out what you mean, but you must spend time writing, because your finished product is very nicely done.
Around here, we're more interested in quilts than how people talk. Be sure to show off what you are working on because we love pictures. And ask whatever you want to. You can always use the PM to keep it private, but I notice that a lot of the time, someone else will ask the same question I might have.
Once you master English, the rest of the languages you learn will be easy!! :)

I understand everything you are writing :lol: Don't worry we don't allow the quilt police here or the grammer police. In fact if you read some of my messages, you will find all kinds of typos :oops: We get in a hurry and misspell or leave words out all the time But you will find plenty of help here

Maksi your written English is wonderful! I am so impressed when I go to Holland that you all seem to speak such good English. As some of you know, my DH is Dutch and his English is very good too. You put us native English speakers to shame as your grammar and spelling are often better than ours!
Here's a joke that Hans likes to tell:
What do you call someone who speaks many languages?
Answer - Multilingual.
What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Answer - Bilingual.
What do you call someone who speaks ONE language?
Answer - English!
I think it's great that you ask for help and corrections - although I haven't seen anything yet from you that NEEDS correcting! :-D

I never realised that there a 2 English languages.. British English and American English.. Maybe I use both languages by each other.
Would there be also a Australian English? I don't hope so. For now I concentrate on American English. If I can get a really good grasp on that I think I will se the differences easier later.
Thanks for all of you, you are very kind :)
