Native speakers of other languages different from English
Me

Usually expats living abroad use English as their lingua franca, but I’m also sure some of them are native to other languages. I’m really curious about this and if the situation has been raised before, I’ll appreciate a hint.

In my particular case, I’m a native Spanish speaker but also speak English.

So if I’m allowed to ask you all: Am I the only Spanish speaker here?

Or to widen the scope of my question: is there any other foreigner in here whose native language is different from English?

Thank you!

Byron

Yo hablo español igual como mi hermana, pero nuestra lingua franca es inglés. El Viernes conocí a un hombre Australiano que también habla español. Parece que no hay mucha gente de orígen hispano en Viet Nam.
De hecho quiero contactar a la embajada de México para ver si hay gente con quien puedo tocar música Mariachi.
(Ya empecé a tocar un poco con un grupo de Jazz/Rock/Latin)

Il y a aussi beaucoup de monde qui parle francais ici, sans parler des vrais francais / canadiens.

Je veux noter qu'on veut que tout le monde se sent chez lui au newhanoian.com, n'importe quelle langue il parle.

Pour l'instant l'interface de notre site n'est qu'en anglais, mais ca va bientot changer (dans 2 ou trois mois), et on peut se sentir libre a ecrire son avis dans sa langue maternelle, commme on a deja fait, d'ailleurs.

[I'd like to point out that everyone should feel at home here, no matter what language they speak.

For the moment, our interface is only in English, but that will soon change (2 or 3 months), and you can feel free to write your opinion in your mother tongue, as people have already been doing.]

byron - he conocido a bastante hispanohablantes en Hanoi, pero la mayoria de ellos es de espana. Me gustaria conocer mas a la gente latinoamericana. En el edificio de mi oficina esta situada la embajada de Chile. Debemos formar un grupo de hispanohablantes dentro del Newhanoian.

Outra pergunta e': tem alguem aqui que fale portugue^s?

WOW! 3 Latin languages, e.i: French, Spanish and Portuguese!

Thank you very much for your answers. Now I see I'm not the only one. HEHE

How can we open up a new group for this?

¡Un grupo de hispanohablantes sería genial!

Soy latinoamericano de descendencia española e italiana; y de por sí, entiendo portugués sin poder hablarlo. (Ha de sonar contradictorio)

@Michal: Si llamas a la embajada de México puedes preguntar por el Señor Álvaro Castro. Él es una muy buena persona y te podrá ayudar en le que pudiere.

@Grubby: Thank you for the information. It will be great to have a multilingual interface! By the way, you've got a beautiful daughter! :-)

@Guadalquivir: ¿Cómo abrimos el grupo? ¡Es una idea magnífica!

@Back to all: I'm hoping to meet more people. Before I had a couple more friends but they've already gone back to their countries. :-( Since then, I've been around here virtually alone. HEHE

Thank you again!
¡Os agradezco a todos!
Merci beaucoup!
