Hi guys,
My name is Szymon and I am working for Leon now till March.
I am a student from Germany. I am studying history and English in Germany and I want to become a teacher.
Leon was kind enough to accept me as an intern to improve my English and get rid of my German accent.
I just wanted to introduce my self and thank everyone here at Pendraken for their support. It has been a very pleasing experience so far.
Cheers,
Szymon
Hi Szymon,
welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your time both at the company and on the forum, if you are planning to venture on here regularly.
Not sure that the forum would do much to improve your English; half of us can't type, half of us can't spell and the final half can't count ;)
That said, it is a constant source of information, inspiration and good-natured insanity and well worth your time looking at if you are interested in military history, wargaming or the eccentric British :)
Cheers
Ithoriel

Welcome
I dont totallie agree with Ithorial
1. I kan spell
2. I rea%l*y can typ!
4. I can count!
Wot e sayd
You'll loose your German accent to acquire a Northern accent.
Really, what's better ?
Thank you Ithoriel and Fenton :)
I would take the northern one instead of the German accent any minute barbarian ;)
Cheers,
Szymon
Willkommen aus Neuseeland ;D
You find more than just the eccentric British on this forum :)
Welcome on board and well done to Leon and Co on taking you on as an intern.
Jealous of your role. Though you should ask Leon what happened to the last intern. I think he now runs a small South American country. Or is he in prison in a small South American country? One of the two. No, no, my mistake he is now a she and working behind the fish counter in ASDA - in a small South American country.
Anyway, welcome to the Forum.
Leon isn't going to be popular with Prime Minister Farrage, is he?
Welcome and perhaps if Leon needs any extra help he could clone you in 10mm?
Hi Zymon
Welcome to the Forum and I hope you enjoy your time with Pendraken.
Your English will improer as long as you pay no attention to the spelling or grammar you find here.
Fenton is won of the betta forum members with spelin an gramar.
As you have already realised this forum is a little mad and irreverent - well FSN's posts are mad :D and mine are irreverent. :d
Get Leon to show you the Totty page, (not when M'lady is about though ) ALL ENGLISH GIRLS LOOK LIKE THIS ;)
shhhh fellas "Dont mention the war" :)

Welcome Szymon. Make the most of it before that idiot Cameron gets us kicked out of the EU. He's a bit like one of those wargames prats who always wants to keep changing the rules. Don't lose the accent. Ve haf vays off making you tork sounds crap in an English accent.
And be ready to remind uppity locals who actually invented Kriegspiel.
The Indians?
Welcome from me too, Szymon.
If you want to improve your written English pay particular attention to Fierce Kitty, a) because he's an English teacher and, b) because he's not English.

Your just excited that as he is German he might where your favourite footwear. :)
Believe ms FSN, Szymon in Jackboots will be a loss less exciting than your encounters with Madame Whiplash in Jackboots, but possibly less expensive. - how many packs of Pendraken figures could you get for the cost of a session with Miss Whiplash? :d

Szymon will be joining us at the Warfare show next weekend if you're coming along?
He'll also be coming to our Battleground show at the end of the month, plus York, Hammerhead and WMMS next year. He's heading home before Salute though, which is a shame.

No Reading this year but WMMS pencilled in as this years show was great. Would be good to meet him and of course the rest of the Pendraken team :D.

Hello there Szymon the Intern.
We had a Simon (from France) working here at the Library a year or so back; most helpful,
and far more willing than some of our Work Experience kids! By the time he returned home
he had filled several notebooks with English colloquialisms.
Also Welsh.
And Scottish.
Even Irish.
Look forward to seeing your painting.
Best wishes,
Richard B. (Hausmeisterprinz)
Hi Szymon,
What a great job you have, hope you enjoy your time there. Looking forward to seeing your painting.

Welcome Szymon - good for you to take up this opportunity, nicely done :)
Hello again Szymon. Hope the dynamic duo let you go home with a mass of discounted winged hussars.
