Previous Counseling

你好Rebecca,

Sorry, I just saw you message.

I was wondering 你收到我的邮件了吗？ （Ni shou1dao4 wode you2jian4 le ma= have you got my email yet?）

Hope you are enjoying your lessons!

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Zhou1mo4 yu2kuai4!  (周末愉快--- Have a nice weekend)

Best,

Helen

Thank you for your help in finding my "studied" lessons. 

I am feeling fine again and am ready for a new set of assigned lessons.

By the way, the lesson plan you gave me is very good.  I just want to try to do all the Newbie lessons along the way to fill in my basic vocabulary.

I see there is a category in my lessons for "assigned" lessons.  How can I put the lessons in this category?  I only see the choices of studied and subscribed.

I miss the dictionary that ChinesePod used to have.  What online dictionary would you recommend using?

你好Rebecca,

Hope you are having a great weekend there!

Yes, you can try to use the new words to make sentences, then post here, and I will reply you as soon as possible.

Regarding to the Chinese dictionary, there is a software called "wenlin" is pretty good. Maybe you can try to download one and see if you like it?

Oh, by the way, the assinged lessons are the same as the lessons on the lesson list I gave you. I can assign them again here if you like. haoma?

Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions!

Best,

Helen :)

Thanks for answering my questions.  I forgot to look for your answer until just before our call.  Next week I will write my sentences here.  The only other question is whether or not I can type characters somehow.  Maybe Pinyin is good practise though, so I learn to write the tones.

Xie xie ni san ke. Wo3 xuexi duo dongxi.

i just did the exercises for today's Newbie lesson.  How can I type the sentences in character form?  Do i need a special upgrade for my computer?

Also, I see that this study level includes this "online counseling".  Does this mean that i could type in the sentences that I compose with the new vocabulary words for the lessons in my study plan and that you would correct them for me?

I don't want to ask too much, but I want to make the most of this guided study plan.  Please advise.

haode!

Hope you had a great zhou1mo4 there!

:)

Jin tian zhe xie wo de qing wen:

-Zu1 he zhu4 (check pronunciation)

-shi4he2 & he2shi4 (same meaning?)

-gen1 (other examples)

-jiu4 ( Is this the same as time/already?)

-gou4 le (always "le"?  How to say past tense?)

-Na ge rou4 chi qi3lai wie4dao la4. That meat tastes spicy.

Helen, I wrote these questions before our call, but forgot to send them. You answered most of them already. xie3xie3.

I marked some lessons as "studied" and now I can't find them at all.  How can I get them back on my assigned list?  (I like to review them occasionally.)  Thanks.

Hope you had a great weekend, Rebecca!

On the right side of our homepage, you'll see "My Archive" section, then click on "Manage Archive", then select "studied lessons". There you'll see the lessons you've stuided.

Hope that helps! :)

Ni hao Helen,

Sorry for the late notice, but I cannot meet with you at 9:30pm tonight, September 7th.  I have a minor medical procedure tomorrow, and I am occupied with preparations for it this evening.  I am sorry for any inconvenience.  I hope that we can reschedule a ten minute call some other time later in the week, or do an extra one sometime next week - at your convenience.  Xie xie, Rebecca

Oh, I see. No problem.

Wednesday the same works for me.

Talk to you then!

Hope you are well!

Helen

Ni hao, Helen.  Could you please add "Finding an apartment" to my assigned lessons. Xie xie.
