Hi thereWhen I first learned about this website, I thought it was just for people in the UK, but was reassured that is was for everyone, and so I joined. - And I've received a warm welcome, so thank you all very much. I love this site and have nothing but respect for the people running it. But I do sometimes feel like I'm the only one not from the UK, especially with meet-ups and what not coming up, so out of curiosity I thought I'd seek out others "like me" So if you're reading this and thinking "Hey! I'm not from the UK either!" please respond and tell me where you're from. Thank you - Kat P.S. I'm from Denmark

I am pleased you have received a warm welcome Kat.
Unfortunately I can't join your "Hey! I'm not from the UK either" club. But just wanted to say to hey anyway as have genuine interest in languages, especially the French language.
Have you learnt English through learning it at school in Denmark? Or through some other means?

Thanks And hey yourself. I'm very interested in languages as well! Yes, in Denmark we have to learn English from when we're about 7-9 years old, depending on the school. It's mandatory - as is German in later years, starting from when we're 13-14. Mandatory school finishes when you're 16, but if you choose to go to "lycée" (I don't know the equivalent in Britain, college I guess?) you'll continue your English studies, and you can choose to either continue learning German as well or start another language, which I did. I chose French

There's Nicholas! He's from the USA. We have a few other American members as well.
Also, I think we've got some people from Australia and other places in Europe. Perhaps they're all just hiding!
