Wow, a lot of answers :-P

Thanks for your time. I'll try to practice on english servers this weekend. So, if you're lucky and i'm your squad member, be patient. ;)

Also, thanks for the invitations for joining in. In what servers do you play. Now i know you'll respect people like me.

Now, after I got used to it, it's supereasy. I speak English very well nowdays
Thanks, i know it's a matter of time. I'm nervous too.

Just join up and try your best.

IF I had someone join my squad who could only say "Hey Hefe, bad men by the house" I would give them credit for using a mic then try to give them a simple version of my orders.

I've played a few times with French and German people, they laugh at my bad language skills but we still managed to play together :D

Good hunting, Murkey.
Thanks Murkey.

I get lots of french people who cant speak english in my squad. THey know basic english, but they usually end up laughing at my attempts to talk french. Same goes for spanish german and russian people.

PR is trully awesome with all this exchange, my english improved a lot playing on foreign servers. There was one time in the PR:Arma beta where we had an international squad and it was great.

NwA and PRTA are two English-speaking servers that would be worth joining.

The point is to start speaking English. Both of these servers are English-speaking.

My tip, as a squad leader: Let your squadmembers know English isn't your primary language on chat when you join. If you don't understand orders, let them know as well.

As a squad leader, it's not a bad thing if you don't understand what I tell you to do, but let me know so that I can assign someone else to do it instead, as opposed to expecting you to do something and getting frustrated when you don't.

I love PR because of the lack of a language barrier. Guns/Tactical Understanding > Language

I hope to see you on TG sometime, BR :razz:
