Practising English

As some people might already know, I'll be going to the Montreal meet next June.
As some people might also already know, English is not my native language.

Now, Newgrounds has helped my written English comprehension/production a lot. But Newgrounds hasn't helped my spoken English, and I think it needs improvement, mostly for the meet. I don't want to end up drunk and not be able to speak proper English XD.

So I have a headset and a Skype account. I am usually on the computer during the weekends and in the weekdays evenings (7PM to 10PM GMT-5). So post a comment here (or PM me) if you're interested in talking with me on skype and try to advertise yourself a bit so that I have something to base my choice upon. If I'm interested, I'll PM you with more details.

If you want to investigate me, just read my previous blog posts.

TL;DR: Apply here if you want to talk with me on skype to improve my spoken English.

Also#1: My birthday is on Feb 22th.

Also#2: djbriandamage is officially my valentine. Don't worry though, his wife doesn't care.

Also#3: Here is a picture of my wonderfully sexy hand. I knew you guys would be skeptical that an NG user could have such a nice hand, so I wrote Proott on it. The background is my shower tiling. Weird sparkle flash effect.

How long have you been studying English?

Proottalfain 2009-02-07 17:24:19

About 8 years. I can hold a conversation and have quite a good vocabulary, but I think I'm not fluent enough, I tend to speak slow because if I speak fast I stumble on my words.

Sensationalism 2009-02-08 20:20:03

I'd apply but I'm rarely on. If that changes though, I'll be back.

Proottalfain 2009-02-08 20:20:03

YIPPEE!!! I'll PM you with moar details.

Thegluestickman 2009-02-08 21:31:22

I'll be glad to help you, My Skype name is my NG name.

Proottalfain 2009-02-08 21:31:22

FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING ONTARIO NON-SEPARATIST FUCKER!!! I'M NOT GONNA LEARN YOUR FUCKING LANGUAGE!!

VIVE LE QUÉBEC LIBRE!!!

Nah just kidding I appreciate your offer, I already added you to my skype. Be aware that what I wrote in capitals in this response was a complete joke and please do not get angry, because I didn't mean it.

BREAKOUT 2009-02-08 23:02:00

Ca, ou juste parler français au meet up pi mélanger tout le monde. Pourquoi pas? :P

Proottalfain 2009-02-08 23:02:00

No, just fucking no. That would be utterly lame. I wouldn't confuse anyone, I'd just look like a complete retard.

Thegluestickman 2009-02-09 07:32:29

DAMNIT WE'RE NOT TRYING TO STEAL YOUR CULTURE!

OLOLO

Proottalfain 2009-02-09 07:32:29

TOO LATE JUST TAKE IT, HERE, I'M GIVING IT AWAY!!! FUCK YOU CELNIE DION!

Sensationalism 2009-02-09 23:24:34

That is one sexy hand!!!

Proottalfain 2009-02-09 23:24:34

I am stretched between the acceptance of your compliment as being sincere, and the rejection of what I would think as being only a matter of flattery...

ClockworkCopper 2009-02-10 20:16:15

Why do you need to know English to go to Montreal...? Doesn't Quebec speak french?

Proottalfain 2009-02-10 20:16:15

Have you not heard of the montreal meet-up??? Like... the NG montreal meet-up? People will be coming from the USA and ontario, and the spoken language will be English. I don't want to make a fool of myself and speak Engrish(sic).

ClockworkCopper 2009-02-10 20:52:48

I thought that was in Amsterdam.

Proottalfain 2009-02-10 20:52:48

Montreal is in Québec, Canada. After the london meet-up, a bunch of meet-ups started hatching. Amsterdam is one of them. The Montreal meet-up thread was created before the London meet actually happened.

Sensationalism 2009-02-11 01:09:51

It was kind of both, but you do have nice-looking hands.

Proottalfain 2009-02-11 01:09:51

Thank you! :3

TheSilverGuitar 2009-02-11 19:11:02

Can I make the birthday thread, seeing as how I love you and shit?

Proottalfain 2009-02-11 19:11:02

Sure, remember, feb 22th.

Thegluestickman 2009-02-11 19:55:24

How come you haven't been on Skype :( Did you add the wrong fellow?

Proottalfain 2009-02-11 19:55:24

Ah I'm sorry, I forgot to open skype.

Sevkat 2009-02-12 23:45:08

why are my balls so itchy?

Proottalfain 2009-02-12 23:45:08

*scratches the guy's balls* Here, is it alright now?

Dogmeat 2009-02-13 00:41:51

So, if I was 18 at the time of the meet up, would I be able to go?

Proottalfain 2009-02-13 00:41:51

Be able, I do not know. Be allowed, however, yes. I've already accepted to join them, and I'm not yet 18.

MrNiceGuy 2009-02-14 23:25:07

I don't use Skype, but do you have an Xbox 360?

Proottalfain 2009-02-14 23:25:07 (Updated 2009-02-15 01:00:01)

I don't have an Xbox 360, but do you use Skype?
(MSN or AIM work too)

BREAKOUT 2009-02-16 22:17:08

In that case i guess you should practice your English skills.

Mais, un coup qu'ils vont être chaud, apprends leur à parler français, bonhomme :P

Proottalfain 2009-02-16 22:17:08

I'm actually planning on reading a French poem from Alphonse de Lamartine. Héhéhé.

RawrOutLoud 2009-02-18 22:16:52

I hate you.
I live in Montreal and I'm underage.
:C
I want to go..

Proottalfain 2009-02-18 22:16:52

I wanted to go since last year actually. I'll finally be 18! My birthday is in 4 days. And that might not help, but since you hate me, it probably is better for you to not endure me face-to-face :P

ROL

I have the weird habit of doing Chewbacca-like rawrs. They are more like a cross between a bear and Chewie. So when I saw your username, I really liked it. Makes me wanna go rawr out loud.

Anko 2009-02-27 22:35:30

English is a hard language to learn, so I've heard.

Proottalfain 2009-02-27 22:35:30

You're badly informed. English is super easy compared to French.
