Bienvenidos Joseph. Hablamos ingles, officialmente, pero tenemos problemas con la lengua como tu. En realidad, nosotros  hablamos creoles; algo casi de cerca de ingles..si tu quires ir por ahi, no vas a tener dificultad cerca la frontera. Los indios hablan espanol y ingles bastante bien.   Mi mama es de un pueblo de cerca de venezuela, Kaikan. Tenemos familia en uno y otro lado de la frontera. No puedo escriber espanol bien. Lo hablo mejor.

Oh rass Stormy 

good point, so you don't speak the same US english ? but obviously you can understand it.

La mayoria de la gente aqui habla ingles bien. La mayoria de nosotros vivimos en los Estados Unidos, pero algunos estan en Canada e Inglaterra.    No tenemos ningun problema con el ingles americanoo ingles en general.  Estaba hablando de la gente en nuestro pais de origen, la mayoria de los cuales hablan criollo en vez de ingles como su primera lengua.

Since you need to learn english... I will be using it instead of spanish. Anyways, I do not have a spanish keyboard so miss out on the diacritical signs.

Jhosep, welcome aboard. You seem to express yourself well in English. Looks like our Stormy knows more Spanish than you do. Now, you sure you are from the hostile neighboring country? Looks like you were educated in an English country.

i know a basic english, i mean very basic and the major cases i use google translator before post, so i can learn more english using it, this is the reason by i try to write in english.

Pero si hablamos en castellano podria decirte que si lo hablo perfecto ya que es mi lengua natal, y si soy de venezuela o ( hostile neighboring country) solo a modo de curiosidad por que dices hostil ? por la crisis economica y humanitaria que vivimos ? yo diria mas bien, unfortuned country. hostil suena como a pais rebelde o belico. te quiero amigo si soy venezolano.

Maybe a GNIer who's suspended or banned. 

I am surprised his hotmail account was accepted on signup.

I speak spanish but it is not native to me. My mom who grew up speaking spanish corrects me  often enough. So does my sister who presently lives between Spain and Canada.  I often discover I do not know the names of common things and have to ask.  My spanish is from travels and from speaking to spanish folks here. I have not lived in the culture or formally studied it sufficiently long enough for it to be natural to me.

To that end I think my french is better than my spanish since I studied it and spent extended times hanging out in Montreal and Quebec as a kid and many summers in France and Belgium as an adult. However, I read a lot in french and look at international movies and speak to my french friends just to keep it alive.

We ought to separate the people from the policy of the political elites of the country. Venezuelans accepted some 80 thousand Guyanese in el tigre when our country was having problems. These were mostly indians who migrated there as Sunil can affirm since he knows venezuela. I spent a summer there with my mother who has family there. We owe them a lot.

It is the reason I complain about the present policy in Guyana where the government not thought about a refugee policy or how to accommodate our people who are returning. Only yesterday, the an amerindian chief in the Barima area noted his village is doubled because of families returning. He is welcoming them back with open arms. 

Our government must accept its responsibility to protect refugees and our own people bringing their new Venezuelan family as the come home to escape poverty.
