If you've noticed, I just added a Spanish Language forum on the Community page. I have no idea if it'll be used or not, but I figure I'd try it out for at least a couple of days.

I was thinking of also adding forums for Hindi language discussion and Filipino language discussion. However, I don't know how much either would be used as (from what I understand) not all Indians speak Hindi and not all Filipinos speak Filipino! But we do have a lot of YWSers from India and from the Philippines, so what do you all think?

And for everyone else, are there any other specific language forums you'd like to see?

French! There are a lot of people, including myself, who speak French, or bits of it, here at YWS.

This language thing sounds awesome! *squees*

You bet.

In the meantime, French sounds good. I'd use it, even if I'm nowhere near fluent.

I'd utilize a French forum. I'm learning, and not near fluent, but I know we have a lot of people around who speak/are learning French.

Also, the other language forums in general sound like a fantastic idea!

I'd love to learn more French so I think a French forum would be really interesting.

Helping people learn languages on this forum has been a pet dream of mine. Very, very happy to see this coming along and being presented.

French. I'm so rusty so it'd probably take me ages to use it, but I'd get there.

I love this idea.

I'd do that flail thing if we had a German forum, and if it actually got rolling, I'd be one happy Rachael.

I also love the idea of a French forum! French is a fairly common second or third language, so there'd be traffic. Plus, same alphabet with the exception of the accents. Win.

French. :)

but a mouthful of 'sorry's, half-hearted
apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's
or maybe like pocket candy
that's just a bit too sweet.

I've added them for Spanish, French, Filipino, and Hindi. Now that you all have said you are going to use these, go use them ;)

*raises hand sheepishly*

:P

French would be fun! It'll help me get back from being all rusty.
