Um maybe he speaks French as his first language??
seriph1 16th September 2005, 06:41 PM Hi Simon and welcome to the forum - if you come to Australia you will rapidly understand that we don't all speak perfect English, nor are we all rude to those who also don't possess a full grasp of the language.
I appreciate how hard it can be to be understood clearly - All I have to do is tell my wife I want more woodworking tools and she gives me a look of total confusion. Of course being a Québécois, French may be your first language and I want you to know your English is vastly better than my French.
I know how you feel when you say you live for woodworking. Being able to follow your passion will be most rewarding.
I don't know anyone who needs someone to help them right now, but I do know some people who are setting up a furniture making business in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Let me know if I can help.
have fun!

I would suspect that he would have a very hard time. I speak english and I still can't under stand half of what's said to me, and I doubt I'm under stood all that well either. I see some pretty blank looks on the faces of those I've tried to talk to on the job site. Anyone know where I can get a good aussie to english dictionary?;)
