Baasje Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I've seen a similar thread in other forum, but not here, I think. It seems fun for non-native English speakers, but English-speaking people who know more than one language shall feel welcome, too. the rule is simple: one person posts an English word, the person below translates it into their native language/another language they speak, and posts their own word. Please have fun I'm going to start: cat. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
