Country-specific groups

I'm really interested in other cultures/languages (I speak 5!) so it's very interesting to me to see where Glitchers come from. I did a search for the countries I thought that were most likely to have a Glitch community in the groups interface and came up with the following groups that have >1 members:

France
Sweden
the UK
Canada
Spain

So, hardly surprising that most Glitches seem to be from either the US or the UK. I'm kind of sad there aren't more members in the Sweden group, I would love a Swedish chat. Are any of you guys from countries not listed above? What's your native language? I look forward to Glitch growing bigger and playing with a more varied international community :)

  • I'm from Uruguay, I speak Spanish. 

    I saw a couple of glitchens chatting in German in the mines, but my German is pretty basic, so I didn't jump in the conversation.

  • Great idea. I was just telling my supervisor this morning that I need a Spanish boyfriend to practice my Spanish with... among other things. xD

  • I was browsing through a lot of the groups the other day and noticed there were quite a few country-specific groups.

    Oh and here's the New Zealand one: http://beta.glitch.com/groups/RIF6399221N1RFE/

  • I'm an American, but I'm kind of tempted to create a Romani Glitch group so I can network with other Roma. Maybe I'm the only one here, but I hope not. I want my vocabulary to grow and grow and grow and that seems like a good opportunity.

  • I was in New Zealand when I started alpha testing but now I live in Australia. Also, I never knew there were country groups - thanks!

  • I'm a Latvian from the UK, living in the USA. I've seen the Estonian group but not a Latvian one, don't know if there are any other Latvian-speaking glitches. I also speak fluent Russian and very basic German.
