Amanda老师,

I have a grammatical question for you. In this sentence:

当然北京中国首都也是中国政治中心

Why is it 也是 and not 还是?  I thought haishi was used to indicate two features of one object and yeshi used to indicate two objects sharing the same feature.

Thanks!

Since Chinesepod have an executive program demo class and I need to give lessons all the Mondays, I can't give you a lesson as the same time. Do you mind having our lessons at the same time one day after which is Tuesday for me. Is it OK? If not, other counselor will be your teacher in the future. I am very sorry for the inconvenience,
Amanda

Tues:  9-9:15 AM; Any time after 3:45 PM

Wed: 9-9:15 AM; Any time after 5:30 PM

Thursday: Any time after 11:45 AM

Those are tall the times I'm free. All the other time I am either in class or meeting my Chinese language exchange partners.

Will,

you can use hai2 shi4, it is ok. but the difference is ye3 shi4 is " and", so the former object and latter object are equal in the sentence. hai2 shi4 is " still", we always put it together with chu2 le(expect for/expect), such is 除了英语,我还会说日语, 除了老师,她还是一个医生。
