Ellen Ni hao, I have been working all weekend in a Taijiquan workshop away from town. I feel I am pushing the edge a little. Do you think we can delay our conversation until next week...?

Hi Carlos,

renwei & juede all mean "think". You can say both.

The small difference is Renwei sounds that what you think is a little bit more rational and logical then Juede.

Hi Carlos,

The connection over the phone is not good today. When will you get Internet access again? Can we talk on Skype next week? Next lesson, we can review week3 and also two lessons in week2 that we didn't review today (Calligraphy, Birth by Chinese zodiac).

Hi Ellen, I just read your message. It would be great if you could call me monday the 17th at the same time. I believe you must dial to my cell phone number in Portugal, then it will automatically be redirected to Italy. Its 00 351 931 738 132.

Otherwise, I can be online tuesday by 3pm, BJG time. Ok?

Dear Carlos,

If you can give me your phone number in Italy, I can still call you at the same time.Or we can just postpone the lessons to the end of your subscription :-)

What do you think?

Dear Ellen,

this week I'll go on meditation retreat to Italy and may not have Internet until August 16th - maybe 17th. I may be able to download all the podcasts and pdf texts. How may we solve the weekly meeting issue?

Ni hao, Carlos

Starting next month, I'll make a lesson list with two Intermediate lessons for you. As for the Newbie lessons, as I only assign you five lessons every week, you can search the relavant Newbie lessons by typing the key words. If you've got any questions while learning the Newbie lessons by yourself, please feel free to ask me here. :-)

Starting next month, would it be possible to have two intermediate lessons instead? Also, do you find it could help me if you added an extra newbie lesson to each day, with some topic you find relevant to know?

Thanks. Kind regards
