I had the idea of creating a Discord tab and I spoke with the people there, so that we could unite those who want to teach and those who want to learn, to start the interactions step by step…
little by little we are evolving…

these automatic subtitle or automatic translation tools, do you know how it works in practice?
Does it apply to any platform?
I wanted to know how it works, so I could see…
I have never seen this yet for example in a discord call or even in a twitter call etc…

yes , I think it’s a good idea . If my friend wasn’t here it has been very complicate for me because I don’t speak english . So if a course will be set up it can be very good for me and for other people like me

I like the idea of helping others, but still think learning english its an independent thing and people should look for classes for themselfs since ape its nothing related to that.

But we already do that my friend, this is a debated idea just to improve and ease the interaction for the benefit of the community and all its participants.
We are all contributing to the DAO itself.
we have to think as if we were 1 body!

Hey @NEGI 
Yes, I understand what you mean. But what you’re talking about is more about being aware of what’s going on in the DAO. But this will not help those who do not speak English, but at the same time want to take a direct part, for example, in working calls and express their opinion about a particular decision being made. Whatever say, but without knowledge of English it will be difficult to do, unfortunately.

Hey @shotgun.tobi 
!
After reading your message, I sat and thought, but how can this still be implemented? How to make people who don’t speak English be the same members of the DAO? So that they can freely participate in discussions. Here is one of the thoughts, for example, to create several working groups in each of which a certain language will be used. At least one member of the group must be bilingual, the language spoken by the group and English, because he will eventually represent the entire group at the meetings of the main working group, where he will already speak English on behalf of his entire group. So far, this is the only option I see.
But for some reason it seems to me that I will have time to learn English before such a decision is made and such groups or something like that are created.

Thanks @Rubinato , I think this would be a good start.
I have not yet seen such tools, but if they appear it would be great. Moreover, it would be necessary that they be used not only by those who do not speak English, but also by those who speak it in order to understand everyone who speaks their language.
You are right @Tanjiro . Everyone can decide for himself whether he needs English or not. But it would be nice to learn it and immediately apply it in the lessons using the words and expressions used in the DAO. Just as far as I know, having learned spoken English, for example, it will be difficult to understand a lawyer or a doctor, because they have their own set of words. I’m not saying that some specialized expressions and words are used in DAO, but nevertheless, by studying English, people would also become more familiar with what is happening with us. I hope the translator in this case will correctly convey my thoughts.
Well, to say that this has nothing to do with the DAO is also not entirely correct. Why then calls are conducted in English? If somewhere it is indicated that they should be in English, then it is relevant, and if nowhere it is said that they should be in English, then it turns out that I can join the conversation and not only me, but everyone will speak in your own language. And while their opinion should be taken into account regardless of whether they understood or not. But we understand that nothing good will come of this situation.

I totally agree with adding tools to translate or add contributions for community can make that job, but english lessons its out of mind, for some reason you need a specific degree to teach, its not anyone that just knows english then know how to teach, still think thats a thing people should do outside of here, just giving my opinion,

You are doing everything right. That’s why I created this topic so that everyone has their own opinion. And I’m not even arguing with you, just discussing.
It’s just that when I come here I feel verbally paralyzed, as if I don’t have a voice, although I really want to be heard sometimes when I want to say something. And if nothing is done, then it is unlikely that people who, like me, have difficulties with English, will be able to speak in this DAO.
If you mean that learning English is better with a competent teacher, then I agree with you. But let’s say I want this and go find a teacher and teach. But there are people who have come here who have something to say, but they cannot sit and study with a teacher for some reason, I think such an initiative could help them.
Perhaps there are other solutions, it would be nice if someone tells us about them.
However, I am not saying that DAO should not create tools for interacting with non-English speaking participants.

Im def not arguing 
, just seeing another point of view and discussing on that, but yeah i really think at least having an tool for translating on discourse would make a huge difference for people with problems in english, about verbally paralyzed i totally understood you i always feel anxious to talk in front of allot people and in other language thats not mine thats def a struggle for most of the people.

a tool that made this function would also be excellent, I believe that the 2 things can go together…
both a tool to solve this language barrier, and also a tab in which basic English classes could be taken, etc…

That’s a really cool idea! Providing English lessons for DAO members is a fantastic way to make sure everyone feels included and can contribute their great ideas. Language barriers can sometimes hold people back from speaking up or sharing their opinions. So by setting some basic requirements for joining these classes, we can help people develop a foundation in English. This will give them the confidence to actively participate during calls and express their thoughts on different topics.

I have the same problem. I don’t speak english very well. It’s interesting. What do you think about @Val ?

I agree 100 % with you Silvio, it would be very interesting, because we have several people from different parts of the world and just like us, they have a certain difficulty in communicating, it would bring a lot of value to the community to have English classes

It would be interesting to see if there are any app based language lessons that would want to provide access to the DAO similar to how CryptoMories have a deal with an app based mental healthcare system that provides access for all holders and their families.

Hiya! New here 
Instead of official “lessons”, I think maybe the following would also work too:
Information Education, e.g.
- VCs for oral practices
- A learning group to share learning resources etc.
Content Localization Efforts, e.g.
- An official translated Ape ecosystem glossary for content localization
- Regional volunteers to act as regional moderators / translators
