May 15, 2010, 03:25 PMHi Ellen,
I'm sorry for not being available for our last class. This lesson slot doesn't appear to be particularly convenient for me either :) so please take this message as notice to cancel any further classes too.
My subscription expires in a few weeks and I've decided to re-subscribe for the 'classic premium' only. I'm sure I can get the free practice I need with local people but the real reason is I don't think I'll ever be able to consistently manage a regular time slot for our lessons. I have really enjoyed speaking with you, I've taken a lot from our lessons and I think I've come a long way. I'm serious about continuing my studies and I'm confident I'll make it a lot further. Thank you for all you help, patience and guidance.
Many thanks again,
Dave

You wrote in your last message "...wo shenzai kai le." Do you want to say " I am reading it(the lesson list)"?
If so, it should be " wo zhengzai kan."
"zhengzai" means " be doing ..."
Have a nice weekend! :-)

I wanted to say 'i will start right now' but i'm not sure. I thought 'xianzai kai le' would be ok but i couldnt spell xianzai at the time :D
Wo xianzai

April 20, 2009, 06:41 AM"I'll start right now" could be " wo yijing zai kan le."

I'd like to restart our skype lessons, I think two months is a enough of a holiday!
Are you free on wednesday morning? Or perhaps Thursday or Friday?
Many thanks, Dave

April 15, 2010, 02:55 AMHi Dave,
So glad to hear from you. Can we still do the lessons at the old time: Monday 4.45pm china time?
If it's ok, let's restart from next Monday. :)
