Hello, I am new in this kind og roleplaying. I have some questions about how to create my characters and how to roleplay in here in general.

If you want to join a roleplay, do you need to use a already made character or can you make a new one, who are matching the roleplay?
I am not use to either write og speak English in my daily life, can you find groups where they speak another languish than English and is that allowed?
If I want to join a roleplay, where the others are very good at English, can they kick me out if my grammar isn’t as good as theirs?
I hope someone would like to help me, so I can begin roleplaying :)

Welcome to the site! You ask great questions. :)

Are you part of the group that came from that danish RP site that shut down? If so, you might find this handy: http://www.rprepository.com/group/browsegroups.php?search=danish

Those are all groups devoted to danish RP. If you speak another language, you can do a search on that page for another language, and either join a group for that language or create your own. :)

We ask that on the public forums people mostly speak English, just because we can't guarantee we'll have a moderator on hand that speaks every language, and we need to be able to make sure that people aren't being nasty or breaking rules without us knowing. BUT, groups are allowed to create their own forums and choose their own moderators, so they are a great place to play in other languages.

Most people are very patient if you are doing your best and making an effort, and will be very happy to help you improve your english if you are open to occasional tips. You might want to talk to one of our members named Sanne -- she speaks multiple languages, and perfected many of them (including English, which I think is her third language?) by RPing and asking for feedback! I am certain she would be willing to share her experiences with what that was like for her.

Most players will be very clear about their expectations and patience for helping up front, so it's unlikely you'll be invited to a RP and then removed for grammar issues, especially if you are clearly making an effort and not just lazy typing (replacing words like "you" with the letter "u", for example).

Did this help? :)

Welcome to RPR! We'll be happy to answer as many questions as possible in your topic here, but if you need help at any given time it's usually best to look through the Help section first. :) A bunch of questions we get asked the most are covered there, and it'll be faster than waiting for a reply (especially during European daytime hours!). If you can't find what you're looking for, the Help forum is the best place to post in. :)

Kim's almost right, English is my 4th language. ;) I learned most of it by roleplaying and using English sites, as well as asking native speakers to help correct my spelling and grammar. I still mess up every now and then, but I do my best and it's greatly appreciated.
Welcome. ^_^ I think Kim and Sanne have pretty much covered all the immediate stuff. But, anytime you can't find the information you're looking for, you are indeed welcome to ask!

Glad to hear we are being helpful! :)

Most people here are usually happy to help if they possibly can. Like Sanne said, the Help section (where you can search for your question using the search box in the sidebar) and the Help forum (where other players, and myself, will try to answer!) are great resources. You can quickly get to both using the Help navigation section at the top of the page (it's the last link in the dark brown bar), plus, there's the "Report a problem" link in that dropdown, which is how you can submit a bug report to me in case you find something that isn't working. :)

Oh, thanks for all your nice responses :)
Welcome! <3
Welcome to RPR! :) Everyone here is super friendly and as long as you try your best you shouldn't run into any problems ^_^
Welcome to RPR, darling! Don't worry about English being your second (or third, fourth, etc) language lol. Everyone here is so nice and understanding. If you ask for help, you will receive it. Also, don't be afraid to ask for explanations, if you end up playing with an English speaker we use words that don't always translate. There is no shame in asking for an explanation :) Cheers!
Welcome to RPR! I see you have already gotten some great tips from some awesome people! Hopefully you have had some time to check things out!

Hi there! And welcome to RPR! And don't worry if you think your grammar sucks. Everyone's not perfect. Even myself. I still have rough edges here and there with my English. I would check my grammar for more than 10 times if I want it to be perfect. HEHE. Anyway, enjoy your stay, my friend! I know you will! RP with you soon! <3
