notpron for non-English fluent people
Hello, I'm just starting notpron (completed up to level 7 so far...), and it is quite GREAT! :p
However my fun gets more or less spoiled because of a terrible fear I have : how possible is notpron for non-english people?
I noticed thanks to this forum that the author is German, that tends to reassure me.
However I'd get even better relief if you could assure me NOTHING is related to language/cultural knowledge.
And then I could enjoy it fully! Thanks!

I started notpron in january 2005. I registered here by march-april (i don't remember exactly) because i was really stuck on one level and i asked for help. I only used this forum to read the threads, but sometimes understand them was very difficult, so i tried to post. I'm Spanish, and I never wrote in English before, so that first post was really hard.
Since that first post, i've finished notpron (positives, negatives and greek ones... and found a lot of greek-temp-ends! :p ), i've finished other riddles and i've found a lot of friends here (hi Ollie!). I've sent a lot of PMs here and in other forums, and thanks to this, more or less, i can write fluently (with a lot of typos and hard to understand for you, sure!). I've improved a lot my English and many other skills, and now i have a huge list of online translators
Don't leave. Notpron isn't unfair at all for non-english riddlers. You'll learn a lot, really!
Good luck! :p

No worries - I've completed NotPron and am for the Netherlands (and our native language here is Dutch).
I think the linguistical riddles are harder for non-English players. My tip; say the words out loud and listen to what you say (maybe even record it and play back).
I never forget the amounts of 'rum' I said before I got that one.
