Are you a regular in the MyEC Chat Room? What advice can you share for NEW chatters who feel too intimidated or shy to join in? 

A recent blog post by Parrot inspired this topic.

hello ¢αℓιмєяσ

If some one doesn't reply that surely doesn't mean he/she is rude! he might busy and discussing somwthing :))))

Since we have a welcoming committee that posts welcome messages on the profiles. Similarly we can have a welcoming committee or group for new chatters. we can confirm the status of the new comer by viewing their profile joining date. Some of the common symptoms of shyness and hesitance can also help in identifying the new faces. A guideline blog link can be provided within the main chat window for them to navigate and understand the environment of the chat.

Every body starts the same not knowing what to do. A simple "hi/hello" can break the ice. You can analyze the chat going on in main to understand about the people there. Identify the person who seems generous and polite, and is more likely to respond to your queries. If there is a particular topic being discussed try to join in, or, ask for explanation if you do not understand.

Enjoy your time and try to keep the fun going.

we are at the chat  to enjoy our selves practicing knowledge in English. One  needs not be shy as  no one judges anyone  relax and enjoy :)

when i came to EC first time i was really shy and my English wasn't good at all, but the help of some members i really improved faster, we used to discuss about Grammar and some tips that lighting out way, (when chairman asked me and i didn't know "Ida was helping me in private :D)..
