English term

church small group

Non-PRO English to French Other Religion
These are groups now common in the U.S. with churches. Meetings take place regularly at someone's home (thus, often called "church home groups.) Often it's a bible study, but not always. Sometimes there is prayer, a potluck or something else. On a reference letter:

"We have also had the privilege of being a part of a church small group with this couple. Our group of about 20 meets regularly to share Christian fellowship. This couple has led our group and welcomed us in their home on a number of occasions."
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Stéphanie Soudais (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

disagree TheAlphaSens (X) : Contresens "Sure? You should probably stick to video games" No need to be sarcastic. Si je réponds à ce Kudoz c'est que j'ai des connaissances dans ce domaine, je ne réponds pas en me contentant de faire une recherche google sur un Kudoz au hasard.
