why are people writing in other languages a lot more on this site? it makes it hard to participate in conversations.

Other languages you mean lingala.....no offense aswell but isn't the forum called congovibes/ Congolese Music?......personally, i find other things funnier to say in lingala than in english...example "kizengi moko boye", that shit aint funny in English if you try translate it

I'm not saying you can't use Lingala but when half of a thread is in Lingala and I'm into a discussion it sucks for me I guess. You can continue using Lingala if you want though I'm not trying to stop anyone.

What I meant is that, you sometimes write something in Lingala then translate the same sentence in English....that is the way to go, not Lingala or French through out...

Like archos has stated,he only writes in lingala when he's asked something in lingala especially by me or the other guys like jdog. Sometimes we just comment or quote lingala words as said by musicians,some can be hard to interprate because they are bad so words so we just have a laugh amongst ourselves.

But why have you been watching by the fence without joining in anyway? :lol:
We started using lingala coz it looks like there's only a few of us posting so we keep each other posted, when we see that others are participating in conversions we will make an effort to spread the musical news to everyone since now we know there other people watching however I still strongly urge you and everyone participate in discussions that way you encourage us to even post many things.

I have noticed that quite a number of discussion is written in lingala, it is difficult to understand.  So I urge everyone, myself included to please participate in the discussions.
