A nos maitres anglophones et anglophiles.
si je m'en vais de chez quelqu'un, je dis " see you soon"
mais si j'ai la personne au bout du fil " listen you soon" si jattends une reponse a mon message "read you soon"?
Mariet, rosminet, gizmo pouvez vous me faire profiter rapidement de vos connaissances
je concluerais "read you soon" en esperant ne pas me tromper.

au téléphone: talk to you soon

dans un forum ou ecrit: I hope to read from you soon

Sorry gizm0 I have to disagree. I have only ever known the French to say "read you soon" as I assume they are doing a literal translation. I have never heard it said or read it in a letter/forum from an English person. One normally says "hope to hear from you soon" or "I look forward to hearing from you soon".

no no
I often say I hope to hear from you soon & I hope to read from you
(both for the written form)

Yeah, but that's not something that the English would use "to read from you soon" . I don't know anyone who's English who would use that phrase!

Pour ma part, j'utilise les mêmes expressions que caz9.

me caz
I'm English & I use them , so do my parents & grand parents

Ok, but do your parents & grandparents live in England still. Are they English by birth? I still claim that a typical English person wouldn't use that phrase and I've lived here 43 years!!! i.e. all my life!!

Thanks chrisg, nice to have your support!

I must add that it's not against gizm0, but just because this is a matter of facts : that's the way I use them !

YES caz they do live in England & yes they have lived there for over 85 years for my grand father!

85-43 = 42 ! 25 years more than me !!! ))

moi j'utilise aussi comme chrisg svt : i look forward to hearing from you.. mais je suis pas anglais !
ou "looking forward to hearing from you" a la fin d'un email mais je sais pas si c'est tres correct

One would use the phrase "looking forward to hearing from you" in letters or e-mails to friends. One wouldn't use it in formal letters.
