The English language is not a problem when someone writes in English for me to translate enough of the school curriculum English, but if I want something to tell the interpreter to help.

Of course the problem.
Do not understand why sites limit communication, only English... Discrimination...

So why we use English terminology in other laguages to describe what we mean? Like "pot", "flush", " utg", "draw" and many many others! Is it not a discrimination for you?

I'm from Poland and I learn English for 7 years, however sometimes it's very difficult to say what I mean. With CardsChat I can improve my language skills and it help me so much :)

I will honestly tell that I poorly know English... but as this language the most widespread in the world - strong difficulties doesn't arise. There is an Internet near at hand, there are translators)

Well, if you don´t speak English nowadays, you have a big problem to solve, since the English language is the most important one to learn and understand. You can´t be included in the World without speaking English.

When I play online English language is not a big problem, you can always use a translator. If I played live with the players speaking English, then I would have been hard

not a problem.
you know some gesture could take the place of language on the table.

like check= knock the table
fold = throw the cards to dealer
all in= move all your chips over the board line.

etc.

Actually, I think you don't need to talk at all at the poker tables:D

online is fairly easy, google translation always your good friend, if you are poor of English language.

To play poker - it's not a problem. The problem - communication with the players.

I don't think tha's a problem . During a game , English might be the official language and the rules might saying that only English is permitted , but many communicate in their native language , either it's russian or serbian or brazilian or whatever and there is no problem , if sb is annoyed of this rarily mods on poker rooms say sth (I have never heard anything ). In the forums the same , there are sub forums where they can use their language . Besides there are very good translating programms nowadays that do a very good job (as long as the sentences are small :) , and the basic poker terms to use are not many . Furthermore , it's not a roblem cause , like sb fortold, D3STROYERAJ you don't need to talk with others , just play.:)

Spanish is my native language so sometimes it's a problem when I wanna learn some poker terms but out of that I don't think it's a big problem because you don't have to talk in the table when you're playing!

i consider this a problem especially in the online poker, maybe in the live events you see the face and the gestures of your opponent and that gives you hints you don't need the language so much, but it all goes with the every person, i undertand and speak english but i think that i if i couldn't know what everybody is talking about i might be very nervous

That's exactly what was said.
Just for playing, no problem with the language. But communication certainly is.
