"Still lie the sheltering snows, undimmed and white;
And reigns the winter's pregnant silence still;
No sign of spring, save that the catkins fill,
And willow stems grow daily red and bright.
These are days when ancients held a rite
Of expiation for the old year's ill,
And prayer to purify the new year's will."
Helen Hunt Jackson, A Calendar of Sonnet's: February
When you first apply to join the forum, you will have to wait a while to be approved. Just be patient.
Once you are a member, don't forget to check the calendar(s) for session times. Sessions are held on different platforms, so be sure to find out where the session will take place:-
Well, if you don't know already, my name is Lynne. Yes, it's my real name. Some of you might know me as Your Teacher.
I've been running the Learn English Network since 1999.
I'm not actually learning English, I'm kind of helping you to learn it.
I am however learning German. I've been learning German for about 10 years, but it's still driving me nuts, which is why I am so patient with English learners.
I'm a new member here but have been an old (8 years!) member to the previous learn english forum run by Lynne. For those who don't know me, I'm a Frenchie, nearly on my 30s but I still look like and act like a hare-brained teen/kid. :O)
Congratulations with your new place, Lynne! When will the house warming party take place? Oops, I'd better introduce myself first. So, you can call me "april", I've been following Lynne, not stalking , for .... four years! OMG, is it really already so long? During this period, I've learned a lot; not only about English language but also about culture, technology and the most important thing .. I've learned about friendship. Thank you, Lynne, for making it possible with your LEN. :-bd
Hi April! Don't forget - it's our place. And it really is our place this time. Thanks Vanilla, a slightly different flavour of forum. And there are badges!
Hello, My name is Hermine I am not new to lots of the members here, because I joined the other forum in 2007. I am so proud to know such a great teacher as Lynne is. I am from Austria and I am trying hard to get better in my English. I am so excited to learn more about this forum. I am happy Christmas is around the corner and I like being sorrounded bei ist spirit.
Hi amatsuscribbler. I am science24 , a new member here (just one week) looking for improving his English (under-beginner level..........lol). That's all what I can tell you , join us to know more. or you can ask Lynne about that.
@Elfish a scientist , not yet , but it will be the case after 20 years at least >- @Lynne_Hand I told you that my contagious disease (talking about science) will diffuse here, in fact it starts diffusing, be ready for that, no care!! @amatsuscribbler We are all new members now (in this new forum) and you have to forget the previous one with all the members there , the oldest member here has joined on November 10. So, no reason for anyone to tell us that he is an old member......lol
Hi Lynne, Hi Guys, I was a new member in the last forum and I am new again. I am very happy to do part of this great forum. Thank you all, especially Lynne, our Great Teacher.
Hi Elfrya - your English is not very poor! You have communicated your thoughts. I could not do that in your language! And we help each other here so enjoy it!

@Elfish,
You are right. It's like the usual suspects are gathering.
@science24 you are a very useful person to have around when April asks about the difference between chloride and chlorine.
