Since we are a diverse group of travellers from around the globe, would any of you senior members have an interest in being part of a listing of suggested resources for certain areas or for certain languages? I know that our primary and secondary languages are listed in our profiles, but there are many new members who don't look at the individual member's information.

I speak Japanese at about the intermediate level. I'd also be willing to help out with Chinese or Korean pen pals but don't speak either language (I'd be willing to help them practice English though). --- "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." – Mark Twain Reply    Reply with quote    Contact bootlegga   picasso Premium account Joined: Aug 04 Points: 10057 Posts: 79 Posted: 2004-11-03 18:43:00    Hi, Russ, you came up with a wonderful idea. I don’t consider myself us a senior member ;-same as James, but with my fluent Russian, I certainly could help some new Russian members, without any problems; -as many as I can help. In the mean time, I’m already helping a new member from Kazakhstan-former Russian Republic: http://www.globosapiens.net/zershat Best wishes Boris --- BORIS Reply    Reply with quote    Contact picasso   nedkelly Premium account Joined: Apr 04 Points: 5264 Posts: 81 Posted: 2004-12-13 19:58:00    Ha ha!!!

As for my mention of "senior members," I was referring to those of us who have been members for a reasonable amount of time and who regularly visit the globo website. We would never want to exclude anyone, so if you wish to help less frequent visitors that have language difficulties, please help us. It just seems that those of us who contribute frequently and visit more regularly have a larger investment of time and energy in this site. Please, let's all continue to help each other and to be available to assist other less frequent visitors. Russ --- "Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people.
