It can be deleted or modified by you at any time (edit and x). You can create a new email address for this forum and register with a "nickname" if you wish. Adding a photo is optional. We do not tolerate in this forum any commercial approach, religious or political proselytizing, or sexual or relational comments of any kind. They will be systematically and immediately deleted and their author banned. The aim is to share ideas and thoughts in complete safety while using the languages we wish to improve. You can copy a link to an interesting article in order to share it and if you wish to comment on it, you can use the deepL translator to facilitate your task. The revision of the text obtained is of course essential but it allows us to work on our languages very efficiently and that's cool!
