活学活用running out: "hi buddy, don't just learn English language. But you must use it. Otherwise the studying materials will be running out of your memory very soon." No offense :)

Your "running out" is not quite right.

Maybe we can try You will be running out of stuffs to say only by memorizing, but not practicing?

:-) Agree. The best way of learning language is to practice it by talking to other people. Try start a Christmas shopping conversation with one of your coworkers today and you will be surprised to see how well you use the phrases I poseted yesterday.One day at a time and soon enough you will easily have conversations with people on all sorts of topics. Way to go!:-)

个人认为Normally和basically可以互换使用——Terasa(特里沙修女)“I normally wait until the last minute and get my all shopping done in one day”特里沙修女智慧语录
U r basically right.

Thanks. As you know the most difficult thing for Chinese to learn English is listening and speaking, can I suggest that Teresa upload the audio and the text together to Rolia?

I agree that listening and speaking are the two tough things for language learning. I haven't used any audio stuff on here, but I will see if i can figure it out:-) At the same time we are still working on holding real face to face classes,which I think is still the best way to interact and learn. Finding a place to hold the classes is a tough one for us. If any of you guys have good ideas, please share on here. Team efforts will make it happen sooner:-)

I talked to a club which could offer a room for $15/h. if we have 10 participants(not including teachers), everyone needs pay $1.50 each hour and $3.00 for a course of 2 hours each time.

"because they are calling for snow."——What is "They" referred to basically?
-redjunk(toy);
2009-12-8(#5734030@0)
they refer to the weather forecast men...since people know the forecasting is always from them...so we just say they and everybody knows
-teresashi(Curly Hair);
2009-12-8(#5734146@0)
learn a new usage" calling" .Thank you very much.

多谢! 提个小小的建议, 你的天天英文topic可以每天单独重新发一新贴,不要和昨天的发到一起,否则,楼搭的这么高,好多人都不知道,会错过了,希望你能坚持下去,这样我们这些fans也能坚持下去每天都能学点英语.

"a little conversation' 有点语病，如果是说conversation 的量少，可以说" a little less conversation" 少一点闲聊。不过看上下文，应该是想表达“small talk"的意思-相对于big talk（长篇大论） 用little 不大准确了

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I agree that the languages in the conversations are pretty simple, since they are meant to be some common daily conversations that you can use to start little talks with other people.However, since this is just a start, I'm just also testing the water, it would take a little time to accomodate to everyone's different levels. What I will do is to divide the content into two main parts: conversational dialogues(like the first couple of ones) and culture related topics (everything you want to know about the people, food, entertainment, books, movies, bars, clubs...etc). Telling me what you think of my ideas and what you want to know will definately help me!:-) thanks.

Well, for this I want to say that we are sacraficing lots of our time and efforts(trust me it does take time and efforts to do this on a daily basis) so as to benefit other people,we are not mentioning money, so I just don't appreciate the way this "request" was brought up here.
-teresashi(Curly Hair);
2009-12-9{102}(#5736411@0)
that's ok. apology accepted:-)
-teresashi(Curly Hair);
2009-12-9(#5737370@0)
I understand what you are talking about. I will definately look into it.
-teresashi(Curly Hair);
2009-12-9(#5737372@0)
Hmmm...that's a tough one. It would be hard to do an audio demo on a daily basis, espeically my friends and I work for different companies and of course we don't get to see each other everyday:-)However, as Raza recommended, we are looking at renting places on weekends so that we can have real face to face conversations and it would be easier for us to address any pronunciations problems you guys might have.

分为2部分这个主意很好。基本对话满足平时日常需要，然后又能在其他时间讲讲文化方面的。加油，我很想但是没空参加face to face的课程，就在这里每天看看这些就很好了。一定要坚持哦

LZ 这主意真好，估计能帮到很多初来者。看了一个对话，提一点意见。Teresa:" I can't get in to Xmas spirit yet."formal 了点，平时对话不常讲get into... spirit。 如果是我，可能会说，"not really, not get into the holiday mode yet. / I am not in the holiday mood yet. Do you have plan for the holiday?..." " I'll catch you later"可能比“I'll talk to u later" 更常用一点。

Thanks for your comments. Those conversations were actually real conversations that either my friend or I had with our co-workers. But you are right, there are different ways of saying them.

-purplesand(purplesand);
2009-12-9(#5737340@0)
Thanks! That's my whole of point of doing these kind of conversations here, it's not to teach you the language itself, but to give you ideas to practive with other people.
