    -)------- Hello

    (I wanted to add something to the title, sorry)
    Anyway I'm 13 year old, fencing for over 3 years now (well more if we count the fact that I was fencing a bit before too). I'm OK I guess, best in my group and I have won a range of local tournaments =).
    I live in Slovenia that has NOTHING to do with Slovakia btw. And I fence in the TABOR fencing club (maybe some Italians will know us =D)
    My coach is Sergej Smirnovski (if that means anything) he was supposedly a USSR coach that trained on of the best 3 fencers ever in the 80's.
    What else? Well since my English fencing expressions are not all that could some of you might not understand me well. Oh yes I fence epee and, I also like reading, playing on my pc (...), kayaking, hiking, climbing...

    Anyway hi all. Oh and I came here through a link my friend send (he's not a member though)

    Welcome a-board. Always nice to increase the international flavor of fencing.net.

    And your English is fine. Better than that of some Americans on the site, in fact---at least you can capitalize and punctuate...

    Welcome Diamondfox! Good to have you join us. I'm an immigrant to the U.S. from India. My English has gotten better with practice. I read books and magazines in English. Your English is very good! Keep practicing

    Uh... I'll say! I never would have thought you were anything but a native speaker!

    Coming back from that tangent, welcome to the forum, Diamondfox!

    Thanks for the warm welcome !!!

    Also Draga means Dear in serbo-croation (but I'm Slovene and we speak Slovene here.) Dober Dan means "hello" or "good day" (if directly translated).

    Well this is Slovenia http://www.impel-bohinj.si/images/europe_large.jpg notice that that's the original Slovene spelling of it =).

    don't worry, you speak english way better than many american-born, english speaking people (me as one of them). anyway, I am a thirteen year old and have been fencing for about three years, so that makes at least two of us. anyway, welcome.

    The way I keep it straight is that Slovenia is South of Hungary and Slovakia is North. Welcome!
    Whoopee! My avatar is back.
