(Country, community, etc. at whatever level of disclosure you feel comfortable.)Jerusalem, Israel2.) What is the primary language in your area? (...and is it a notably different dialect than its original?)Hebrew. There are also some English speaking people in the neighberhood, and several that speak only Russian. In some parts of Jerusalem the common language would be Yiddish or Arabic - but not in my vicinity.3.) What languages do you speak? (...and dialect if appropriate, please)Hebrew, with the standard "ashcenasi" accent (as opposed to the Oriental accent or ancient accents, for those in the know). I also speak English, with a slight Canadian accent intermixed with a heavy dose of "israeli accent" - more like butchery of the english language than an actual accent, that one.4.) At what level of competency? (...if other than your primary language.)I am pretty fluent in english, even though I was told by a british girl once she couldn't understand a word I said... than again, I spent a month of so in Britain with no problem...5.) What language do you use at the gaming table? (...or in online games?)A mixture of English and Hebrew. We switch back and forth. All the terms are in english, and some of the dialog - particularly discriptions - as we find it more dramatic. We revert back to Hebrew when things are too hectic, when we are having problems articulating outselfs, or sometimes for no apparant reason.6.) In what language are the gaming materials you use? (...and is it the language you prefer to use for gaming?)English, only English. And I definitely like it that way.7.) How well serviced is the area in which you live in regard to gaming materials? (Miles/Kilometers to the nearest game store, what materials do they carry, etc.)Not at all. The "nearest" store is almost the only store - that I know of. It is in Tel Aviv - about an hour and a half away by car. And even they carry only a small selection - D&D core books, a few miniatures and a few accessories/other games. I do most of my buying through Amazon.</blockquote>
