It's just as well this place is written in English because I imagine a fair number of us wouldn't be playing otherwise: the vast majority of native English (Queen's or Queens ) speakers can barely speak a word of other languages.

When abroad my vocabulary runs as far as:-

"Je ne parle Francais."
"Que?"
"Ein gross bier, bitte!"

Reminds me of a joke.

- Trilingual

What do you call someone who speaks 2 languages?
- Bilingual

What do you call someone who speaks 1 language?
- A native English speaker

The third one is surely the most important one. And you are all welcome to correct my english. It is not the best. I scored once 23 mistakes in a vocabulary test with twenty words.

This is good structure for the most part. One of the trickiest things with German/English, is that even though English is a Germanic language, the two languages structure their sentences differently. So the most common mistake in English->German or German->English is swapping around words. For the blurb above, it would read much better in English with "scored" and "once" swapped.

Also even some native English speakers do not use correct grammar, have atrocious spelling etc.

And then we have the question of British English vs other variations.

So while I would, in principle, be more than happy to help I can see difficulties...


There is only the Queens English, the others are actually foreign languages, old chap.


You forgot the apostrophe in "Queen's".


Or you misread the meaning......
