Salut les Français !
Je vous propose de dialoguer sur le site de la Eos en France.
Bonne route.
What's the Administrator's view on languages?
English only? Or anyone with an Eos welcome whatever language they want to write in?
If people want another language they can always start another Eos site?

Bienvenue dans le coin français du forum. Ce serait sympa de poster des photos de votre EOS devant des monuments Parisiens connus pour nos ami(e)s anglo-saxons.Salut les Français !

Dont think it really matters neh321 - Eos is Eos in whichever language you use
Welcome one, welcome all I say.
Bonjour à Eoscab et à Tintin de Sydney
I love France, the French and the French language (and French wine!). But that doesn't mean to say I think a mixture of languages on the site is a good idea.
If you went on to a French forum and started proposing conversing in English what do you think the French would say? They even have laws to stop people using English...
Excuse me, I do not speak English.
If you want to talk about the Eos in french, you can go to the website : http://eoscab.free.fr
Sorry, bye !

O dear....
It seems you've scared EosCab off neh321... détendez juste!!!!!
The odd non English post is totally ok with me & I suspect others also- if all the site was non English then you'd have a point....and we would be on EosCab's French site.
Sorry to lose you EosCab!!! stop by again some time soon

Actually I don't mind either. I just like winding the French up. I even have lots of French relations (via my daughter) and really like them all!

I am not anti any language but because this forum is open to all I think we should post in a common language. I was born here in the US and the only language I speak is English (or at least an Americanized version of it). The most prevalent second language here is Spanish. In Europe people seem to be able to understand two or more languages. Obviously I am not going to go to any other forum and post in English and expect them to understand me and I suppose some one would post a reply criticizing me for doing so and I wouldn't understand their reply not knowing their language. I would hope that I am not the only person with this view. So if I have offended anyone by what I have said I am truly sorry.

Without starting a whole polemic, I thought the idea behind the Regional Sections was to create a little corner for our European neighbours so that they can indulge in their mother tongue alongside people who can speak the language. This website is still however dominated by the English language so I wouldn't worry too much. Come on guys, chill out...

Des photos devant la Tour Eiffel, ça serait chouette! De mon côté, il faudrait que j'essaie d'en prendre devant Big Ben.

Sorry Tintin - I seem to have frightened EosCab off. I wouldn't listen to me if I were him...
You do have a point there neh
Tintin. La merveille comment près vous pourriez vraiment devenir à BB (donnés le présent climat) pour être en mesure de recevoir une photo comme ça ?Des photos devant la Tour Eiffel, ça serait chouette! De mon côté, il faudrait que j'essaie d'en prendre devant Big Ben.

Are you sure? An attempt was made when President Chirac came to power to reduce the number of Anglo-Saxons words used in the French language. Rather than laws, they were more guidelines. It worked for some words and did not work for some other words. However it was never about creating an 'anti-English' mentality, far from it. In fact, probably 70% of educated people can speak English.
I thought I'd correct some misconceptions here.

Deux problèmes se présentent: d'abord le temps de descendre sur Londres. Ensuite c'est de trouver un endroit suffisament proche de Big Ben pour se garer et prendre des photos. Il serait peut-être plus facile de prendre des photos devant la roue de York (the Yorshire wheel). On verra.
