"How To" Post - Instructions and Moderator's thanks!
Again, WELCOME!
The idea of this group is to get people together from all over the world, talking about the places they live and the languages they speak, and asking and answering questions about other peoples languages and cultures.
When you first join up ('Join this community' button in the top banner), use the 'Post To This Community' button (in the top banner) to place a post on the board telling us where you're from - you can be as vague or as precise as you like, but don't give us your address! If you need some inspiration, you can see some other introduction posts. Tell us what you like to talk about and anywhere you have visited as a tourist you think you could give a tourist's eye view to. Then ask your questions of the other members of the community by posting and keep an eye out for questions you think you could answer!
If you have any questions, ideas, comments or suggestions, please post them HERE. I'm going to be away for a while, but I will get to these questions as soon as I can!
Meanwhile, it's up to you guys to get this community moving, get it full of people and make it into a real resource for all of us. The only way this is going to work is by getting people together from all over the world, so please, please pass the journal on and get people involved! Challenge yourself to find out how many people you know from outside your country, then go and ask if they're willing to get involved. Know another writer? Get them over here! Have access to a university or school campus? Get a flier up on the walls!
Thank you in advance for joining up, sharing your knowledge and sharing your curiosity!
