I am a newbie in EC and I think it was a good choice to be here among all you, but… but you know, first when I joined to the main room it was really hard to discuss with the others (and now it is too but better than before) because I knew nothing about them and neither they did, but after a while I met some great people there, and I can’t forget some strange feelings (!) that I experienced in different situations that sometimes were really disappointing!
So I want to show some of these situations to you, especially new members to say that everything’s goanna be all right! If you are really going to learn English, don’t give up easy here…
1-sometimes there is nobody in the main room…
Me: Hi everybody J
Group: _
Me: Hello…
Group: _
Me: Anyone?
Group: _
Me: Someone?
Group: _
Me: Anybody?
Group: _
Me: Somebody?
Group: _
Me: Nobody?
Group: _
Me: Ok… bye for now…
X: Bye…
Me: Oh X… how are you buddy?
X: Good
Me: Great… (In my mind: I am good too! Thanks for asking…) well, what’s up?
X: _
Me: X, are you there?
X: _
Me: Ok… nice chat! See you later…
2- And sometimes you can’t understand what the topic is…
Me: Hi guys, how are you?
X: Hi Behrad, fine thanks, and you? But in my opinion it’s too bad to do it Y, what’s your idea?
Y: Hi Beh, great, nice to have you here. X, sometimes you have to do it…
Me: thanks guys, would you tell me please what is the topic?
X: You are right Y, it depends on the situation.
Y: And even helps you to prove that you are right…
Me: Guys, what’s the topic exactly? :-/
X: You mean it helps you to change their idea?
Y: Yep
X: Maybe…
Me: Ok guys, have a good time, bye for now…
Them: Bye Behrad
3- Sometimes they tell you what the topic is but it is a little… just a little complicated…
(After greeting…)
Me: So what is the topic?
Group: Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation…
Me: Ohhhh…. You know, I think… I prefer to learn about it and… keep on guys I will watch…
…With all these, you can learn many expressions here after a while you will like it, so… keep on typing here, you will find your way…
According to one of the blogs I am an ATTENTION SEEKER!!! So please pay attention and tell me your ideas about this blog… and let’s help the newbies, I think it is the main goal of EC…
Best wishes for you all…

:) Liked it, the blog style was somehow new. thanks for sharing.
HONEY BEE, Estanis, Onee-chan, ann and everybody who reads this comment, hi...
Thanks a lot to everybody who read my blog and an special thanks to the guys that shared their ideas with me...
Actually I want to say that I am NOT going to introduce the main room as a boring place that includes some people who have a cold behavior with you, and in my blog I said:"...but after a while I met some great people there(in the main room)...", these members' behavior even motivates me to chat in the main everyday...BUT, by your guidance I understood that there are some other choices which are more suitable, beneficial and exciting to learn English and enjoy it.
As I said:"...I think it was a good choice to be here among all you...".I won't forget your words and kindness and thanks again...
Hope you all to be healthy and blessed...
Your post makes me awake :D. Thank you for your nice experience sharing. I was a newbie here two months ago too.
I joined MyEC with the first purpose is chatting. But looking around here I was attracted by blog and some discussion. Not like you, when I first came here, I received many welcome from member in the chat room. (That time I didn't know how to turn it off). Maybe because I'm female. But you know, I used my phone to go on MyEC. So it was very inconvenient for me to reply all of the welcome greeting. Sometimes I had to sign out without saying goodbye all. I still feel a little guilty now. Sometime I meet a friend; we can chat for a few hours (not all the time)
Sometime I met some bad guy (in my idea). His talk was nonsensical. He did not chat with me as a true friend.
Somebody asked for my Skype. I rather gave them. Then I gave my Skype ID to 1 friend. He sent me a pic (ok just a normal pic). Then he asked me for mine -> So what was going on?????? I must delete him out off my list.
I also join a female group too. That girl called me one day. But I couldn't answer. I was on my office. They chatted something in the group. I feel not interested. At last I left.
Later I feel it is not ok. I don't want to continue learning English by that way anymore.
That is all of my chatting experience here. And now, I feel free and safe here with blogs.
I hope you will enjoy the club likes me. Welcome newbie ^.6
I agree with Estanis's comment. :)
Behrad, it's just a part of the sour of life.lol No need to concern too much to this kind of behavior. It's just natural of human. People are not always like what we think about. You have a good intention to join the discussion innocently.:) Just don't get shocked, it's the world we're living in. There are so many good people and good things you will get from here.
Welcome to English Club! Our best Regards. :)
Btw, all we are newbies many times in our lifes :)
All people are "attention seekers". Some just can't admit it on public. So you aren't alone in your diagnosis :D
welcome to EC :)
Evangolia....I made it ;)
Evangelina, hi
I understood...I will fix it :)
Evangelina, hi again,
To be honest, I didn't understand this part of your comment:"why not posting the comments here".Please tell me what is your recommendation. SORRY for my poor knowledge about what you wanted to tell me...
I'm waiting impatiently to hear from you...
Setareh,hi...
Thanks for your comment, your words make me hopeful, it is one of your talents...I won't forget your recommendation.
Hope you the best.
