The project does not look in too bad a shape.
The issue I think may be publicity, not enough of it.
I doubt a lot of newbies know about the project, as the target audience is those with less command of the English language, wouldn't it help to have a welcome message translated and posted in their local languages? (I don't know is this has already been done), since they rarely come out to the strictly English boards

I would like to read up on the project but I'm having trouble finding the post could someone give me a link to it .
It's not really a good one to hear,as you tried to use that project to give back to the forum what it has indeed given to you,this lack of interest could be down to laziness I think,as some members wouldn't wanna take the due step to improve themselves on the forum..
They prefer to try posting in poorly fit or articulated English and hope they get merited one way or the other..
I'll still advice you leave it open,as a handful of genuine members is far better than a whole lot of spammers

Sorry to hear your project isn't going well. Iirc there were some early successes though, a couple posts you did submit to P&S maybe?
I guess it's a small scale example of the barriers to entry theymos refers to from time to time. Though I still think it's lazy to not take the extra step. I like the idea of your project, and if you're interested would be willing to review some of the member accounts that do apply. I'd have to check over what your criteria is and I could just review a list and send you a list of who check all the boxes.
Feel free to Pm me if you fall behind and need an extra set of eyes.

It seems to have stagnated recently, and yet people are still clamouring for merits, and also apologising for the quality of their English.
Fit to Talk Englsh was created to help Bitcoin Talk members to improve their English, and to enable non-English speakers to bring their political comments into the forum. There is quite a bit of dramatic news from around the world, and much of it involves crypto currencies - what can I do to help broadcast this news to the English speakers in this forum?
I closed registration a couple of weeks ago, and required a pm for registration. I did this because of the workload in checking the Bitcoin Talk membership requirement, and the rejection of the pharma and gambling spammers. I can reopen registration tomorrow for a week or so if there is sufficient interest.
