Dear Asma,

I think you are right. In this group you can write in French and
english as well, even if you speaks Arabic , Sapnish or Italian u can
write in this languages too :) those are the languages Hicham speaks
too. but if one write in any of thise languages it's easy to translate
what he wrote in other languages using:

About the ouner of this groups Mr Abdel_98 I thought he forgot about
Tennis and this group untill I saw he wrote a message today so I think
he must change what he wrote about this group and let it b a Hicham
Arazi Fan's Group and not francophone one.

Salam,
your friend,
Ali Yahia.
