If you want to subscribe to a lesson level you have to first join a level group. In your case you will want to join the elementary group by clicking "join group," Once you have joined, you will receive one new elementary lesson in your dashboard each day. You can review which groups you currently belong to by looking at the right-hand column of your dashboard under 'my study groups.' I hope this helps!

May 20, 2010 at 2:05 AMHeh it's all about the sarcasm! I've never lived in Taiwan but a lot of people living on the mainland think of going to Taiwan/HK as a nice break from the 6 channels on tv here that show historical dramas about the japanese occupation/history of the hami melon! I thought xiao_liang's joke was spot-on...
