Hello everyone :D

 

Welcome on our forum!

I am Michel D on NMB, Michel on our forum which appointed me as Tosogu moderator (Sorry time!). I do appreciate NMB and have learnt a lot, more specifically on tsuba which are my area of interest. I should post soon on tsuba identification (appreciate Nobody"s expertise on kanjis and others on appreciation of different schools including damned Shoami)

 

Our forum was created earlier June and...is in French.Do not hesitate to join us: the goal is not to vie with anyone but only exchange and learn from eachother. Should you have any question or difficulty of understanding to join, please feel free to contact me by pm.

 

Regards

Considering we are studying a Japanese art, where most of the references are not in English, you should be used to these stumbling blocks by now Milt :lol:

Following Patrick topic, I have signed last night to become a member of this forum. It is outstanding (for a beginning) a lot of information available, a very good kantei section with good explanation (in fact, kantei/answers are I think almost as good as Darcy's ones). Darcy's kantei have an advantage, there are based on high resolution pictures and not oshigata.

 

It is easier to work on Oshigata, because they show all what is to be seen in a blade (hataraki). I have notice that with the hadori, unless taking time to scrutinize a blade under different lights/angle, most time one shall miss important things.

 

I am not sure that we are ready to draw Oshigata with all the precision needed .....

 

Language is not a problem, I have noticed that the more technical are the topics the easier they are understood, most terms being in Japanese.

 

For all newbies a lot of information are available (drawings, Japaonese terms)

 

English (even my poor one) not being an obstacle for most people, French should not be - even for our fluent German Bungo.

 

Any way if some translations are needed I volunteer to help NMB members.

Hello

 

A short introduction in English will be soon added.

[Pete Klein]

Michel -- all good luck with the forum. I did have some difficulty registering. I think the translation through Babelfish might not have been close enough to allow a smooth coordination. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello

 

For those who have registered but do not know how to introduce themselves ( mandatory within 72 hrs following the registration):

 

How to introduce yourself

 

On the home page, just above the introduction text written in red Kon nichiwa mina san ", click on PRESENTATION; you will see the members' list. Then click on the button NOUVEAU (new message) at the top or at the bottom of the page: you have access to a new box where you are can write some words ( your visa card code and your bank account number is NOT necessary :D ) Once done, click on PREVISUALISATION( preview) to check it and finally ENVOYER ( send ). It runs as most of the forum sites.

Looking forward reading your introduction. You also can reach me through PM. Welcome again

[Bungo]

If we speak/ask questions in English, would the answer be in French ?

( just like the tourists in Paris ).....................

Hi Bungo

 

Je ne comprend pas votre question sounds like "I do not undersand your question" :D

BTW girlie pictures are classified "French eyes only"

Otherwise, don't worry, there is always a mean to meet halfway; some have already experienced and are still live (so far!)

[Jean]

Hi Milt,

 

Anyway you can always try German, I am sure that on the French Board some people are fluent in this idioma :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi,

I just registered for the forum, haven't gone though the whole site yet but from what I seen it very well done.

Being from the province of Quebec where English and French have

co-existed for quite some time (mostly in peace :D ), I'd be glad to help with any traslation problems as best as I can.

To the persons who setup the message board...Bravo

Hi Jean,

It still amazes me at the diversity of the membership, and the

co-opperation between the different sites, I've learnt so much and continue to do so.

Hummmmm mother country ehhhh :D
