大家好。我现在在一个大学校学中文。我只三月以后学, 所以我不太好了。 可是我真喜欢。我不知道你都等了,因为我写得不太好, 所以我还用英文写。

hello. i dont know if this is totally right (i doubt it is) so i also write in english. i have been studying chinese for three months now, and i just discovered chinesepod. really nice addon to my studies at school, and now that its soon christmas hollydays, i think i will try to keep up my chinese here , since i obv. dont have any classes during the hollydays. are there any newbies or elementaries here that would enjoy chatting a little bit? i beleve it will be quite good help for both of us. ye.

are most of you guys in here studying chinese in school as well as chinesepod, or only chinesepod?

Hi,it should be "大家好。我现在在一个大学学中文。我只学了三个月, 所以我的中文不太好。 可是我真喜欢中文。"  but  i can not understand "我不知道你都等了" so i have no idea how to correct it.

@crystal, warius

As another Chinese incompetent (but if you have only learnt for three months can I suggest that you might be genius class warius?), I think that the next phrase may have used 等 for 懂 - I think warius is trying to say 'I don't know if you understand or not'?  

大概大家不懂我谈的什么,所以可不可以我英语说?

(Probably everyone cannot understand what I am saying, so is it okay if I speak in English?) 

Now crystal, I invite you to correct my attempt!

---大概大家不懂我说的是什么,所以我可不可以说英语?

谢谢。thanks a lot for taking the time to correct my chinese. its appreciated. And yes bodawei, i meant 懂, i guess im mixing them a little bit , because of the similiar pinyin, as you have already figured out.
