你好Jane!
I think Daylight Savings Time will be ending soon ithere. That is to say, clocks will be moved back one hour. As you may know, time is not adjusted here in China. Therefore, could you please kindly let me know if it would be possible for you to do the lesson just one hour earlier than usual then?
Many thanks in advance!
Best,
Helen

你好Jane,
这个句子可以这么说＂我的老板想让我到六月份就能说流利的中文．＂
Sorry, but I actually didnt mean you can't speak fluent Chinese by June. I was just a little bit confused about what you were saying. Now I see.
It's hard to tell when one can speak Chinese well though, it depends on how much time you spend on practicing and studying the language everyday. I can see you have a good vacabulary, the thing is you may pay more attention to the word order and some of the words' usage.
For example, "昨天晚上我很高兴聊天和你. " should be "昨天晚上我很高兴跟／和你聊天"
"可以告诉我学好中文要多少时间?",
Also, in these two sentences "我想我麻烦你的了" and "可以你给我上课帮我的吗", the "的" should be dropped.
我的 means mine, 你的 means yours.
Hope that helps!
Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions. I would be gald to help with.
Take it easy!
:)
Helen

感谢

不客气！:)
"我学习的上课你给我" is better to say "我开始kai1shi3学习你给我的课了".
"上课" is actually a verb.
