It’s a big question
First, really exists language barrier. But now the machine translation (eg, translate.google.com or translate.bing.com) have become so good that this barrier can be overcome. An illustrative example - me
I read the forum of Italian lolitas community, knowing in Italian only “Chiao”, but it does not bother me at least understand the meaning of what the girls write on this forum, using online translators
At the same time I understand, that my English is terrible and often causes laughter among those who owns it well. But I do not care, because the main thing – the understanding. And whether I used the eg Past Perfect - not so important, I do not pass TOEFL here
Second, the overall closeness of the Italian lolitas community. Again, an example of this forum: Thread with pictures of Italian lolitas is in a closed area, and access to it is not so easy. I understand that maintaining privacy is very important, and it cannot discuss. At the same time - if someone does not want to be found, it is possible to hide the face, leaving the Outfit. Many girls in Russia do that - instead of the face on the photo-mask, or just hearts. This allows quick find us from any foreign lolitas community if someone has an interest. It also has another positive effect: we very often turn young photographers, students of creative faculties who need a portfolio and who are willing to pursue professional photography for free, on the terms TFP - they know where to go, where to find us on the Internet. For example, the page Russian Lolitas contains more than 200 photos and more than 200 video. Most are well executed picture, which also promotes popularization of style (Russian lolitas group in our social network contains almost 10,000 members).
Thirdly, the personal initiative is important. I like Italy; it is a very beautiful country
. I like Italians, as they are very good, open and warm-hearted people. I try to participate in the life of your community as much as I can, and sometimes I write news from Italian Lolita on our community. Similarly, there is a girl who communicates with lolitas community from Germany, from her I know about lolitas community news from Germany. Likewise - USA. Similarly - Australia, and so on. We share photos, videos, and send greetings to each other. I believe that personal contact is very important and allows you to quickly tell us about your community in other countries. It is a long process, but it is a very successful and effective.
By the way, I saw a video with Italian lolitas Tea Party - can I get the video? I would put it in our community
Of course, EGL is important, too
