Topic: Is it possible to search for friends from specific countries?

Posts 1 to 3 of 3

My son has started playing Minecraft online on the WiiU. His first language is Greek and although he is learning English, communication via chat takes some patience and friendliness in his teammates. Most people online seem to be from the US or UK, or from countries like Germany or France where players usually use their respective languages. Does anyone know if it is possible to search for friends in a similar situation to him (i.e. from countries with a language not supported by Nintendo, such as Greece, or from countries with relatively fewer speakers)? I can't seem to find a way to find people in his situation (players who are non-native speakers of English and who therefore are tolerant of others) so that he can practice English and not feel self-conscious during Minecraft games where English speakers dominate. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have tried posts on the community asking for non-native speakers or for native speakers who don't mind interacting with English learners but they seem to get lost in the flood of posts. Thank you!

Is Greek not a supported language of Nintendo? If it is, you can go into Miiverse preferences and select posts from a language of choice.

Thanks. When I try to change language Greek is not one of the options and as far as I can tell it is not supported. It would be helpful if I could exclude community posts from the US and Canada and limit the results to Europe (thus increasing the chance of contacting non native speakers), but I can't work out how to do that. If no one can help I will have to try another post asking for friends who are willing to be patient with a non-native speaker.
