Meet Laurent
Hello Everyone,
I'm Laurent , a French native Speaking from Congo-Brazzaville. I'm very
happy to attend your eclass.
I'd like to improve my English in all aspects (writing, speaking,
listening and reading) and also my webcomputing skills. I'm doing ECDL -The
European Computing Driving Licence- at the college in Oxford where I live now.
I will start a Phd program in Tropical Agriculture crop and plant
protection at the University of Oxford next September 2003.
I'll be happy to receive mails from all of you, to have new friends
around the world, and to help me improve my English and webmaster skills. I
hope you'll enjoy my company.
all the best
Laurent

Hi Laurent
Welcome to Webheads! I'm Maggi and an English teacher living in Germany
and Vance is in the United Arab Emirates and can probably help answer any
questions you have about computers.
There are many sites online to help you improve your English, too, and
many people here from all over the world to talk to as well.
Thank you for the introduction and good luck on your studies.
Maggi :-)

Welcome, Laurent.
I am a teacher in Australia - actually, in the island state of
Tasmania, right down in the south.
I would like to welcome you too. There are many members in this
community who are here to support members who strive to improve their English
language skills.
>From what you wrote in your introduction, I would say you are well
on the way to fluency in English writing.
Congratulations on being accepted to Oxford and I hope you thoroughly
enjoy your studies there.

PS I have written a page a few years ago with some hints for studying
English. You might like to visit it sometime:

Welcome, Laurent!
It's cool you are studying away from your native place, experiencing a
new culture! People here on this group are (or at least, seem) all nice, warm
and friendly. Feel at home coz this is one of your homes! :)
I'm Mariko, a Japanese student studying international cooperation (my
focuses are refugee studies and conflict resolution) in Japan. Through
discussions we can exchange our backgrounds and cultures though most of the
members appear from Taiwan (these are all WHAT I THINK, not quite sure, for
I've been on the group for just a couple of months).
Anyways, feel free to post.
Regards,
Mariko¤º°'°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°'°º¤ø¤º°'°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°'°º¤ø¤º°'°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤

Hi Laurent,
I'm very glad that you joined us and decided to write. It's very nice
to have someone with us from sub-Sahara Africa. And I'm very happy that several
Webheads have written to greet you already.
The ECDL is growing more and more popular as a certificate of
competence with computers. The course is offered where I work and I might get
involved with it. It will be good to compare notes.
The second thing I notice is that you have and are trying to improve
webmaster skills. I have been thinking that perhaps Webheads would like to know
more about creating web pages and that we might try and teach such skills
within this group. As with so many projects this requires:
time to organize and prepare materials
volunteers with skills to help teach the course
students who are interested in learning the material
I wonder if there are any Webheads who would like to donate time and
skills to help others with such training, and if there are any among us
interested in learning more about making web pages and web sites.
