Hello everybody!

I've just begun to try Gymglish and I think it would be a good thing too to discuss with english talking people! So i'm searching for people to talk by e-mails, because mu web connection is too slow for coming on this forum!

Thank you!

English has always a capital letter !
Writting in English ? It's a good idea, but don't you think that our mistakes won't be corrected ?

From Gee:

They will indeed, dear nicolo. You've just shown the way.
And going on your heels, I'll tell you that I'd cross out one t in your writing.

(As long as needed: translating here "You've just shown the way", I'd write "Tu viens juste de donner l'exemple.")

Thanks for your answers! You see Nicolo, we already have a good professor!

Gee, could you please remember me the french sentence for " to go on one's heels", because I don't find it in my dictionnary ?!

To Metzo : writing English, as well as writing French needs to pay attention to the spelling! Your text is full of ortografic mistakes :
I think you should write " I like very much to speak english and I'm searching for new friends to write to by e-mails ".

Isn't it that Gee ?

From Kim Chi Graf:

just a small question, to be/to go on somebody 's hells- it could be uses a lot in english ? it seems that is not currency in use.
why do you not talk about ? for example. You can not judge a book by its cover.

I'm gonna take your remark into account and be more careful in future.
However I'd say that I didn't invent that expression. It sprang to my mind easily. That should prove I had heard it somewhere.
Isn't it currently used? Sure not every day, sure not as often as "How do you do?" Sure it is not informal talk.
I think that I said "going on your heels" intead of "going after you" probably because I had just read it in an article of "Newsweek" but I cannot now precisely find the page again.
Due to your question, I looked up in my dictionaries. It's reported so in the Robert-Collins, in the American Webster as well.
In my opinion you mean that such an expression is not frequently used in the colloquial language of a rudimentary level.
Just like in French (I don't know if you're French speaking) "être sur les talons de quelqu'un" or " agir dans la foulée de quelqu'un" won't be heard anywhere on docks and slums.

I think so, Snake. As I am a bit formal and behind the time, I'd write "English" instead of "english".
As for me (may be just for me?)
at somebody's heels, sur les talons de qqn
to be/to go on somebody's heels, être sur les talons de qqn, aller dans la foulée de qqn (also fig. meaning)
