Language

[lapeg]

Dear all,

I like to join Christian on this (silent and motion).

I think it could be great to join force in Belgium. If english can
help that fine. We're now used in Brussel to this: each use his own language
for simple stuff, but each can also switch to english for technical,
complicated matters, so to be sure to raise the level of understanding,
without misinterpretation.

Regards.
Bien à vous.
Beste groetjes,

Peggy
