Personally, I would not want to talk or interact with people in where I cannot understand their language. That's self explained i guess. Interacting is better when your writings will be in English.

I know that it makes sense. It's just that very often in makes sense to express ourselves in English - which is unfortunate. I'm still working on improving my french - and have been for the last 2 years so I wasn't about to be the first. I guess I always think que c'est domage qu'un groupe bilangue devient un groupe qui s'exprime seulement en anglais. But it was just a small wish -not a criticism. But I think for the case of this blog, having people blogging in both languages would have been exciting. Maybe there would have been people like myself that would have volunteered to translate? (or maybe not - I'm kinda lazy ;-) I'm glad this is your blogging "baptism". and don't worry if people don't come back. I'm sure that it will serve you well in the next couple of years. At least now you know what people are talking about when you see discussion of "blogging" in the newspaper. mike Carole - I’m not shocked that people are writing in English.

I’m glad this is your blogging “baptism”. and don’t worry if people don’t come back. I’m sure that it will serve you well in the next couple of years. At least now you know what people are talking about when you see discussion of “blogging” in the newspaper.

Je me demande ce qui te choque dans le fait que nous nous sommes exprimer en anglais. Durant l'atelier de deux jours, très peu de personnes se sont exprimés systématiquement en français... L'oral étant plus accessible que l'écrit, il était plus important de me faire comprendre par le groupe sur ce blogue, que de me sentir en sécurité en m'exprimant dans ma langue maternelle. J'ai reçu mon baptême du blog avec celui-ci. Alors je poursuis mon apprentissage et j'espère que d'autres personnes se joindront à nous. Carole C’est plutôt intéressant comme réflexion.

We had a mostly billingual group which has turned into a unilingual blog. :-( and I think it’s too bad that no one is writing in french.

You're perfectly right that it's a limited medium. A hyperlink is something you can click on that brings you to another page. All the things in blue on this page are hyperlinks. A URL is the same thing as a hyperlink. It stands for "Universal Resource Locator" but we don't really care about that ;-) I'll go and see if there is a way to get an email notification anytime someone writes a comment. Mailing lists are great for some kinds of discussion, but they aren't really public because only the group has access to it. On the contrary, here anyone can listen in on what we're saying, and all of our stuff will be archived. Hi Marie-Pierre,

Like the thing about hyperlinks you mention: what is a hyperlink? what's it good for? same for URL... Maybe you are tearing your hair out, but these are some of my limitations. I think also that if everyone on the email list was automatically alerted when there is a new posting, there would be more interaction. Personally, I find I'm more likely to respond when something comes in my mailbox than if I have to go look for it. This being said, I have a bit of time now, so I'll go and comment on a few other messages. Marie-Pierre Hi Mike

I wish I had something insightful to blog about but am wrapped up in vacation-mode as I'm sure many others are. I promise to put on my thinking cap and try to return to some of the issues that came up during the learning circle when I return on July 11th.
