Re: Why not a French speaking freediving section ?

Then the true "orphants" are the "pure" freedivers not interested neither in spearhunting nor in scuba diving...

I proposed the opening of a French speaking section within the Freediving Sub Forum because I feel I can animate such a section and act as a "linguistic bridge" as I did on the occasion of Massy's competition, between the vast majority of English speaking DB members and new members not so much at ease with English...

You suggest it might be open to spearhunters, but it would be another section within the Spearhunting Sub Forum and in such a section I could play no role since I know nothing about spear hunting (and am not especially interested...)...

Cheers...

François

merci François...

i am Zambian born, South Africa/Uk/Iran/Argentina educated with a UK passport... go figure

i learnt french in high school and continued to practice somewhat over the years through work and friends... my spanish is fluent as i spent six years in Spain

i thought about this, having a foreign language sub-section in each section, one in scuba, one in spearos, one in freediving, one in hunting. as the amount of people posting would be relatively compared to the majority there would be no need to break down the sections into detail..

let's see what Papa Smurf says (the Editor)
