Smile Re: Why not a French speaking freediving section ?

You are wrong : many people are able to understand or read a foreign language, but are unable to write it or speak it...

Are YOU ready to make the effort ?

I proposed a French speaking section WITHIN the freediving Sub-forum...

My proposal deals with freediving, since I am a freediver, not a scuba diver nor a spear hunter...

My proposal is credible as far as it is enough focused....

Those French forums you mention do not have the critical mass to be efficient...

If I asked a technical question (in English of course) on Deeper Blue, I got very quickly answers from all over the world (Australia, Finland, California,...) in a few hours...

There is nothing equivalent in French up to now... Why should French people get connected to a web site where they get no answer ?

Up to now, I was able to identify no more than 3 French people on Deeper Blue (you + François + rib...)

In the French speaking freediving section I imagine, a French person not familiar enough with Shakespeare's language could ask his (or her) question about freediving in French.... ; then his (or her) question would be translated into English and put in the right place... ;

This is not complicated at all...
