Hi,

Something personnal appends and I won't be able to study this week and next week assignment. I won't answer my phone either so you don't have to call this week.

Johan

你好，
这个在我的联系:

我的头发的狗像猫。 他的头发太长的， 到底就需要洗。

About the new lesson list, could you put only 2 lessons/week?

谢谢

你好Johan,

I guess the first sentence that you wanted to say was "我的狗的毛像猫"。 （毛 mao2 = fur）

对吗？

"他的头发太长的"， the word  的 is no need here.

Hmm...the word 到底 in the sentence 到底就需要洗 makes no sense actually. Could you give me the English sentence ?

Here is a example about the usage of 到底：

A：你想吃什么？

B：hmm...我想吃苹果，但是我也想吃香蕉.

A：你到底想吃什么? (What exactly you want to eat？)

Hope that helps!

Helen

Hi,

For the first sentence, yes, I wanted to say "my dog's hairs makes him look like a cat".

The full "dialogue" was :

 A: my dog's hairs makes him look like a cat

 B: Its hairs are too long!

 A: Actually, it just need a bath.

Thanks !

A: my dog's hairs makes him look like a cat

我的狗的毛让他看起来像猫。

wode gou de mao2 rang4 ta1 kan4qi3lai2 xiang4 mao1.

 B: Its hairs are too long!

它的毛太长了。

Ta1 de mao2 tai4chang2 le.

 A: Actually, it just need a bath.

其实，它就是需要洗澡了。

你好Johan!

你看到你的新课表了吗？

Please feel free to let me know if you still have problem with it.

Cheers,

Helen

Hi,

I hope you spent nice holidays ;)

One of my assigned lessons disappeared (scheduled for the 10th may).

I can still see "Elementary - Mother's Birthday" and I remember studying "elementary - help with housework" (which is now bookmarked). However, the last one (there should be 3 lessons) goes away (it was "assigned" last week and magically disappeared this week).

Could you indicate me which one it is ?

Thanks,

Johan
