你好 Lilac!
Nice talking to you too!

I'm not able to use Skype since I don't have a microphone on this computer :(

I have listened to the Interview with an Ayi lesson and I just have a question about the use of 好像 (used in the dialogue: 这里好像八块")

What is the difference between 好像, 看来, 看上去 and 显得? I have seen them all translated as "it seems". Are they interchangeable or are they used in different circumstances?

By the way, I've also listened to a 请问 episode on "Only and Just" (只,就,光). It was very helpful!

再见,

雷蒙

你好!

Just letting you know that I won't be able to take the call this Friday morning. I have to attend a legal seminar between 09:00 and 13:00.

Is an alternative arrangement possible, like later on Friday?

对不起!

你好 Lilac!

I've completed the Week 4 lessons. Would it be possible to have another Monthly Plan with new lessons?

我有一个问题:“时髦” 和 “时尚” 一样吗?

谢谢,

雷蒙

“时髦” 和 “时尚” 一样的意思, “时尚” is more well-mannered and elegant.

Hi Lilac! I won't be able to take your phone call this Friday, since I have obtained a job at a legal centre on that day. Thus, I won't be free on Friday mornings anymore (for the next few months).

Is it possible to change the time to some other time? (For example, Monday or Wednesday morning?)

对不起!

好像, 看来, 看上去 and 显得 are not interchangeable in Chinese. I will explain on the phone.

你好 Lilac!

I was just looking over the lessons for Week 2, and I realised that I have already studied 'Going to the Dentist' and 'Booking a Plane Ticket' (in Month 3).

如果我学习 "Buying a Shirt" 和 "Choosing a New Pair of Glasses" 就行吗?
