Just want to say Hi!
« on: 11/07/2008 23:47:00 »
Hi there!

I just found this forum a few days ago when I was searching an englishspeaking forum that would fit my interests. I had to find out, that this is not that easy (didn´t find a good forum for general book-discussions..they are allways related to special themes or authors).
But then I got to this forum and I´m amazed. The last few days I spend a bit with just reading through the sections, and what I found was quite intresting! So I decided to register today.
I hope you will be patient with me and my english-writing-skills. I was searching for an english forum, because i noticed, that understanding spoken and written english is just not the same, than to have to use it yourself. It´s so much harder to impress yourself, find the right words and (especially [:-\] ) tenses. But I would really like to get much more into this. And I thought being active in a forum would be a fun way. (so please feel free to correct me, if I´m doing the same mistake over and over again ;-) ).

Ny the way, I´m from Germany, 26 years old, student of a biological subject and therefor my major intrests are in biological, natural sciences.

Welcome atrox,

NKSforum is certainly a good practice for training in written english language.
Feel free to ask anything about vitamin D, "cod" and any other atrocity  [:D]
Enjoy your biological studies!
Take care

The English on this Forum is way below standard. It is full of common people with no linguistic skills. Doctor Beaver is the only person/animal that I would trust. He has a good turn of phrase.
Beware of inferior English.

Welcome to the lunatic asylum. I think you will fit in well. Straight jackets are against the far wall.

There is nothing like winding a you lot up. You lot are so easy...tee, hee. I hope I haven't frightened you off Atrox. If you like a bit of verbal sparring, you have come to the right place.
