Default Bonjour!

Hi everyone!

I'm Thomas, 16 years old and working my way through highschool. I came across this site just recently and even though I'm not very familiar with forums, I thought "Why not register ? Everyone seems nice!" So here I am.

I live in southern France (If there's plenty of snow right now where you live, I'm jealous of you!) on the Mediterranean coast. By the way, if anyone needs help with French, feel free to ask me, I'll be glad to help you.

I'm gay and in the process of coming out, slowly telling people one by one, and so far no one had a bad reaction and hopefully no one will (not sure about my parents though...).

I hope you all had a great New Year's Eve, and I wish you all a happy New year.

PS: I hope you won't mind if I sometimes don't make any sense. You know... it's just my brain struggling with English grammar.

Welcome to EC, PWK! Somewhere, there is a thread entirely in French, as several members here speak it, that you might want to look at.

Thanks! But i have to admit that I checked for any mistakes over and over again before posting. I usually don't check multiple times but I thought that my first post on this forum should be mistake-free otherwise that would be kinda embarrassing.

Oh i didn't know there was a thread in French, I'll sure check it out .
