Topic: Posting in local boards to improve language skills? - page 2. (Read 512 times)
Ask the local moderators.
I would appreciate it if you give it a try! Of course, it all depends on your language skills, especially if the discussion is a bit more technical, but if you feel comfortable to comment in German, just try it. I wouldn't have problems at all to read insightful posts even if the grammar and spelling is not 100% correct. And to be honest, some native speakers are also struggling sometimes. 
It's rather quiet in the German section right now and if you want to have a look you are always welcome.
You are not a shitposter at all and I think if you post something useful this would contribute to the discussion in general. If you don't apply for translating ANNs or advertise a new, shitty exchange in every thread it would be ok for me. (this is still a problem there)
And unfortunately, we don't have an active mod, phantastisch was last active November 04 because he had some troubles (hacker attack). We hope he'll be back soon but it would also be nice from theymos if he can announce a backup-mod in cases like this. Maybe qwk or Lafu would do a good job.
I like the idea of jackg

On the other hand, you're not a shitposter so if you actually have something useful to say that would be of interest to the Germans--but that's only if your German is good enough to be understood. Otherwise they'll have the same problem the native English speakers do, which is having to interpret a post that's poorly written. It wastes people's time figuring out what someone means when they don't use words properly or their grammar is poor.
I know some French, but I would never post in that section because it's very rusty. And I wouldn't want to waste people's time just so that I can practice writing in French. Bitcointalk isn't for that.
Yeah, I guess it's probably a shit idea.
There are a lot of places in local boards filled with English threads (for some reasons they have a local board) it's probably best to see if there's anything I can contribute to those.
If you are not well educated/learned person on any specific language then you should not post on that local board. If you post on any local board and there is any mistake of your spelling, grammar etc then local people can report against you. And for this moderator can delete and/or ban you from the forum. So if you are not well learned then you should stay away from local board.
I mean I did spend 7 years on it so I'd hope to have some proficiency in the language however a more reserved approach seems to be adopted here so I shall go back and bury by head in the sand and be the ostrich that I should be

I leant German at school as few years ago and am thinking of posting and looking at posts in their local board but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.
:facepalm: You can always try, you know. Its not like this forum is full of shitposters anyway. Take the pride in being a German shitposter, get your posts deleted, and eventually get banned and create a thread in the German board with clusterfuck German grammar. I just gave you the best fucking idea ever!
Or if you're really that nervous, you can try other online websites to learn German.
I would say don't do it here just to practice your language skills, because the results on the German board might come across as what you see every day in the Bitcoin Discussion section, i.e., people trying to communicate in a language that they're not proficient in.

I know people much better at the language than me but I want to have a go and see if I can improve it a bit but I want to know peoples thoughts on this as my language skills may be a bit flakey since I'm a bit rusty... I'm guessing the rule against online translators are for entire sentences/ posts as it does get really annoying when you do that, I'll just be using an online dictionary (Collins) for random words I get stuck on - I have the book somewhere otherwise .
I'm not sure if I made this topic or one similar to this last time I wanted to post, however, I feel the environment here might have changed between now and then.
This might be useful for getting an answer for a few other members too, I think jet Cash was trying to have a go at Spanish for example.
