Hello everyone!

Since there is a growing number of English speaking fans lurking around, I thought it would have been good to have an English room here in the forum. This is a place for news and discussion of the main StS events only, and the rules are the same as for the rest of the forum (ie, make appropriate comments, mind the language because a forum is a public place, don't post porn, spam or inappropriate links). Also, since English may not be the first language for everyone, please try to avoid using too many abbreviations and sms language.

I read every line of your message, nothing to say but...

...THANKS !

Not only for our English-speakers friends, but also because it's a chance for me : my English is a bit rusty, so writing and to reading sometimes here - without forget the Italian sections, needless to say - will be surely a good exercise for me.

Obviously you can correct my mistakes !

Right...

*puts teacher hat on*

to reading ---> reading
without forget---> without forgetting
be surely--> surely be

Anyway, I'm not going to correct each and every post, that would be pedantic. I'll only make changes if the meaning doesn't come across properly.

You're right !

Anyway, I'm glad that in my previous message I made only three mistakes...I spent half an hour to write it !

Nice thing! That way I can post current news stuff here before having to ponder for ages on the correct Italian phrasing. XD After all, I'm much faster in English than in Italian, albei I will definitely continue practising my Italian in the other forums here. XD

By the way, current English language Saint Seiya News you can also find on the main page of SaintSeiyaFan.com where I usually post them first of course: http://www.saintseiyafan.com/ ^_^
(BTW, the news article about Next Dimension there was written by another guy as I wouldn't have managed to write anything appropriately positive about it - I just posted the text. XD)

"is becoming" works as it is a still running process. The -ing form is also called "continuous form" for a reason

Just kidding (as usual)

I do like wordgames, that's it. Another example?

Well,Shaina...for a foreigner,not knowing Italian language is not a reason to blame, 'cause it's not an international language...but for me,not knowing english language it's shameful...even the children can speak english at these days!

Well, I have a little tip for you - using both http://www.google.de/language_tools and http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr can help a lot. But you need to check both and use the result that makes the most sense. (And for me it is http://www.italian-verbs.com/ too XD)
