Dear teacher Helen,

I will be in holidays for one week beginning tonight and I won't be able to work on Internet next week.

Moreover, since I have a job, a husband and 2 children, I have no more than 5 hours a week to study chinese. I noticed that I couldn' learn 3 lessons a week if I want study them properly and also use other ressources from Chinesepod. Is it possible to do the evaluation only on the 3 first weeks of the study plan or to postpone the evaluation in order I can study the 4 weeks of the study plan?

I am waiting to hearing from you,

Best regards,

Virginie

Dear teacher Helen,

Thank you for your answera and sorry to reply so late. My come back from holidays was busy at work and at home...

I think you mixed the figures (maybe my mail was too long...). I would like to have 2 lessons instead of 3, because I need about 2 hours per lesson to study it properly and I want to have some time left to use other ressources from ChinesePod, such as vocab tour, dear Amber's session, Qing wen... Is it possible ?

Best regards.

I will have finished studying the lesson of the study plan by the end of next week. As I will be in India next week (from monday to friday), maybe we can already plan the test saturday 15th (paris time 8am ?), if you're still at work. If not, we will forecast the test after your holiday.

Oh, I am sorry but we dont work on 16th, coz it's Sunday here. So I am afraid we can only arrange that after I come back.

I asked for saturday, not sunday ! I thought Chinesepod was working on saturday because when I go to Asia, I work on Saturday like local people...

Never mind. I will wait till you come back.

Niahao Virginie,

Hope you had a great weekend!

I can totally understand if you dont have enough time to study five lessons a week.

As long as you think that is more effective for your studies, then it would be good to study 3 lessons a week instead of 5.

Please let me know when you finish all the lesson on the lesson plan. Then we will set a time for a test. After that, I will construct a new one for you.

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

Enjoy your holidays!

你好Virginie,

I am terribly sorry for the late reply!

I saw your message the other day and replied you acutally. The thing is I didnt notice that it didnt show up in the end. I thought you might be too busy to check instead. It was really my fault anyway.

Then how about next Monday morning at 6:30 Paris time?

Sorry again for all the inconvenience!

Hello helen !

you are forgiven for late reply. Things like this sometimes happens. And I had a live test this week as I spend 4 days in China (Nanjing).

Monday morning I have to take care of my children. I would prefer Tuesday 6:30 Paris time. OK for you ?

Regards.
