Saturday night chat: Who will be there? We must make two groups!

Question

As you could see the technical problems are getting too big as the group is growing.

I have already talked with Ruben and Ismael who are willing and happy to take over a group. But the group has to be divided.

I can take with Meli the beginners, we must speak half an hour in Spanish and half an hour in English, for Meli's sake. Or we can chime in some questions for her in English, please speak slowly.

Meli is progressing really well thanks to all your help and her consistency, always a main factor in learning

We need to know who will be there this next Saturday, I would like to divide the group before we start if not it will be a mess.

Please let me know if you can make it and will be there

I wish my Spanish was as good as Meli's English. - Yeser007, JUL 4, 2010

you mean 50/50 Spanish/English right? - nizhoni1, JUL 4, 2010

"half an hour in Spanish and half an hour in Spanish"? - MeEncantanCarasSonrisas, JUL 4, 2010

Answer 1

I finally got on for a change. I am usually not inside during daylight hours. I was placed in the beginners group with Marianne, Meli, Poetisa and 2 other people (sorry I am blanking)

It was low key and fun. No fear to make mistakes.You just have to start making them and the process brings you to a new level of error.( for me anyway.) It was fun to hear Meli go from theoretical pronunciation of a word she had read to nearly perfect pronunciation in only a few tries.

I am such a low level of hearing and speaking comprehension I am hoping we can exchange prepared questions before we meet again.Then I will be able to compose the first phase of the answere at least instead of sitting there in dumb silence trying to recall the simplest word.

Great idea, nizhoni - sanlee, JUL 11, 2010

Answer 2

Hello Heidita:

I enjoyed the Saturday Skype session, after we finally stopped the frequent disconnects.

I will try to be there, but I really don't know for sure until I get closer to Saturday, because of the type of business I have.

Hopefully you would be able to keep a spot open for me, but unfortunately, at this time, I just don't know how next weekend will be shaping up with my computer business.

Answer 3

I would love to be there , I think you are a champion to keep it going so well Heidi, for me last Saturday was a roaring success even though I did not manage to string more than one and a half words together , i promise to do better if you give another try , the question and answer was sooo good ,may I go in the dummy- division please, thank you.

Answer 4

Count me in!!! I may not say much but I think I'm learning quite a bit from it. Thanks Heidi!!

good for you, compi, consistency is all it takes;) - 00494d19, JUL 4, 2010

Answer 5

I enjoyed this Saturday very much. Thank you Heidita for having these chats.They must take a lot of planning. I would like to come again this week. If I cannot, I will let you know as soon as possible. Also, when we see that there is a chat going on, can we join it, or do we need to be assigned? I did read the rules, but I was not sure if a person could just jump in anywhere (maybe I should just stick to beginner chat) Thanks,

Sandy

Answer 6

I made it to the chat this weekend, but I didn't have a headset so I had to just listen. I did get a headset later in the night though so I'm good for next time.

Answer 7

As always I'll be there .

Answer 8

I would love to try this. Saturday at 6 pm eastern time, correct? How should I send my skype address?

Hola, amiga! Yes, it's 6 - 9 p.m. Eastern time. Just send your address to Heidita...you can PM her by clicking on her profile and looking for the link on the left hand side. I think you'll love the chat. - --Mariana--, JUL 5, 2010

Gracias, chica. - uubethnw, JUL 5, 2010

Answer 9

I am glad so many newbies to the chat are coming again. Rikko was sooooo shy at first, and then , secret!!, he was there like for 8 hours! lol

Annie and Dee, congratulations on your questions and answers! You were by far the best on the chat the other day, lots of initiative and lots of questions asked and correctly answered.

I would like to remind everybody again:

Please do the flashcards!

I'm going to miss being part of the Saturday night chats and talking to you and our other friends :-( But I understand that you can only have so many people online and it's for beginners. - --Mariana--, JUL 5, 2010

Answer 10

I'm in! Looking forward to it!!!

In the Beginner's group, that is! Gracias :-) - Dee914, JUL 4, 2010

How late will we go this time Dee? Well I shouldn't say we but "you".jejejeje - Yeser007, JUL 4, 2010

Only my hairstylist knows for sure! ;-) jejejeje - Dee914, JUL 4, 2010

You're asking the wrong person, yesero. Definitely the wrong person. Jejejeje - Rikko, JUL 5, 2010

We simply proved that we need to let the kids turn out the lights! jajajaja - Dee914, JUL 5, 2010

great, counting you in - 00494d19, JUL 5, 2010

Answer 11

It was really fun, but also a rather unusual experience for me altogether last Saturday (early Sunday morning here). I would like to try again this Saturday and hope for a more "normal" experience.

Answer 12

Next Saturday looks good for me. I would like to try again. It was great before the internet went down.

Answer 13

Hi Heidi

I still want to be included in the Saturday chat.

Answer 14

Hola Heidita

I had a few problems with my "sound" but the "chat" is always great fun.

And 10/10 for having a "question list" - it gave us a starting point - well done. So definitely put me into the beginner's group - to help Meli will be a privelege :o

So, my Skype name is...
