Hello, I am Olot

Bonjour,

Je m'appelle Amadeu, et je suis résidant à La Garriga, qui est à 30 Kms de distance de Barcelone, en Catalogne.
Je suis aussi membre du forum VML.
Même si je ne parle même pas un mot en anglais, j'essayerai de participer à ce forum au moyen de traducteurs ON-LINE, tel qu'il fait déjà mon ami Daniel (Tram47).
Les traducteurs sont très limités, mais le secret est à former des phrases courtes et simples.
J'attends pouvoir apporter quelque chose au forum avec ma petite participation, même s'il me semble qu'ici j'en apprendrai beaucoup.

Hello,

My name is Amadeu, and I am resident in La Garriga, who|which is in 30 Kms distance from Barcelona, in Catalonia.
I am also a member of the forum VML.
Although I do not speak even a word in English, I will attempt to take part in this forum through translators ON-LINE, as he|she|it already makes my friend Daniel (Tram47).
The translators are very limited, but the secret is to form small and simple sentences.
I expect to be able to bring something to the forum with my small participation, although it seems to me that here I will learn some very much.

Bienvenido a la CGT, mi amigo. Hablo un poco de español, sobre todo de cómo ordenar comida y cerveza

en un restaurante y cómo encontrar el baño.

Conozco a un par de maldiciones, así, aprendido de mis compadres mexicanos.

Ola, buenas tardes de Galizano, Cantaria .

Hello, good evening from Galizano, Cantabria - are you Spanish ?


Bonne soire , et tu Espagnol ou Fancais ?

Bienvenue sur le Forum CGT.

Laurent alias Bearcastle

Ps : people speak Catalan first in that region, spanish is after.

Welcome Amadeu,

We have exhanged comments and pleasantries over on VML.

Please use whatever language you feel, French, Catalan or any another.

We will translate it somehow.

We especially like pictures. They don't need translating.

I have to admit, much of what I wrote was with the help of google translator- not nearly as pleasurable as I'm sure your translator is. I do know a bit of vocabulary but almost no grammar.

Hello Amadeu

thank to all for your pleasant reception.

Thank you, KleineDicke for your nice reception. Tu español es muy bueno y creo que va mucho más allá de pedir una cerveza y algo de comida.

This is true. And the truth is that it|he|she goes beyond the language.

Buenas tardes también. I am not French. I have used the French for that I see that here there are many French members. Also for that I believe that if I make an important error with the translator, the French will help to make myself understand. I speak the Catalan, the Spanish and also the French. I also understand some thing of Italian. And perhaps if you have patience with me, I will manage to speak the English a little across this forum.

To answer for way simplified to your question,I am Catalan; born in Barcelona and son of Catalan parents. But as the right to be Catalan does not exist yet, I am obliged to be Spanish.

But it is not important here, because I not am not come to talk to you about policy, but yes on the trains. I expect to be able to show them very promptly my railway company, ELS FERROCARRILS DE LA TERRASSA (THE RAILWAYS OF THE TERRACE).

Catalan is a beautiful language and spoken in parts of France too, Roussillon.

You can use here if you wish. We can translate it.

Look forward to seeing some of you terrace railway pictures on here. I saw some on VML some time ago.




El català és una llengua bella i parlat en algunes parts de França també, el Rosselló.

Vostè pot utilitzar aquí si ho desitja. Podem traduir.

Esperem veure alguns de vosaltres fotografies de trens terrassa aquí. Vaig veure algunes en VML fa algun temps.

This was translated using, TranStar

Let us know if it is complete bollocks.

Faci'ns saber collons si és complet !


Ah....and where did you get the clever animated GIF (Pinguley) used in your signature please?

Tahnk you for this consideration.

I will soon put the photographs. It is promised.

The drawing of the Pinguley I do not know from where it|he|she went out. Me it|he|she gave it|him somebody of VML. But it|he|she is not a cheerful GIF. You can animate any image or text under the function *Scroll*.

Merci pour cette considération.
Les photos je vais les mettre bientôt. C'est promis.

Le dessin de la Pinguley, je ne sais pas sa procédance. Il m'ha été donné par un membre de VML. Mais il n'est pas un GIF animé. Vous pouvez animer n'importe quelle image ou texte sous la fonction *Scroll*.

Hey Amadeu. your layout looks great on the terrace! I asked on another thread if it was based on French or spanish railways. I guess that the buildings will define that? Nice to have you here~
