Please don't be so pessimistic.
I am sorry that I dropped your name on our map since your "last visit" date was March 20.
If you still like to join us, let's learn together.

Non ti arrenda, ragazzo! Impariamo tutti insieme!

Don't worry about it, stay positive and start brushing up now. 加油！ :p

ok add my name to the list... yesterday I took a lession with my teacher and I remembered more than I was thinking. Obviously I had a lot of problems remembering some things

[caroline]

Ma, penso anch'io di avere dimenticato tutto, quindi, non sarai solo...

forza!

I think starting chat study from this weekend is a little bit haste/rush.

How about the following idea?

1) we have 2 different meeting time. GMT mid noon and mid night
e.g.
[utc]Sunday 2007/06/17 0:00[/utc]
[utc]Sunday 2007/06/17 12:00[/utc]
Member could join either one s/he likes.

2) The day of JLPT is Dec.2nd. so we hold a pace around [once or twice] a month until September.
( last year, we started it from middle of September)

3) After September, we review/re-think(?) the time and frequency. The time should be set by regular participants' opinions.

Let me know your opinion.
Thanks.

If both of you could afford to try, please answer to aKuMu-san's question, too.
We have to think about that question seriously.

aKuMuの問題：
このメンバーすべてが参加してチャットをするのに最適な時間帯はGMTで何時?

正しい答えはどれですか？
最適な時間帯はGMTで何時は１つのとても手を焼く問題です。
すべての人は各自の忙しくする事があります。私は了解します。
とにかく、お互いに妥協するのが唯一最も良い方法です。
もしGMT12:00は最も良い時間ではありませんならば、その他に１つの時間試みることができて、みんなはどのようですかと感じますか？

Which is the correct answer?
Which is the most suitable GMT time is a tedious “headache” problem.
There are times when everyone is busy with their own stuffs. I can fully understand.
In general, to compromise mutually is the only the best solution.
If GMT12:00 was not the best time for everyone, we could always try out some other time zone, what do you think?

---------
Just trying to translate my opinion there.
Coco-san has suggested 2 different time zones. Probably we could "test" it out.
I can make it that day.

Anyway, Sunday 2007/06/17 is 父の日 (Father's Day), I'm not sure if some people would be affected ... muahaha....

[caroline]

I guess I can make it; Father's day makes it even better

[terence_hideyoshi]

hmm.. I'm open to ideas. Hence, I will just followed what the majority agrees with.

just followed what the majority agrees with = cannot make up your mind

simplest answer is CAN or CANNOT

..... Well, somehow that's the case. haha... Anyway, I think splitting the meetup in to two should be ok. However, will that cause an overlap or something? That's to say someone from the other session happen to have the similar question which he/she wanna ask.

Nah, very unlikely. Coco-san has given each of us a question, that could possibly lead to many discussions. I don't really mind if part of those were repeated, good revision anyway.

hmm... icic... As this is the first time that I join into this discussion group, I shall follow the crowd in order for me to know what is going on.

Good start. Looking forward to seeing you in the chat room :p

Every day, we experience a rush of thoughts as we think about the things we have done and how we fit into the situation around us. Sometimes we record these thoughts in a diary because we do not know who else we can turn to. However, there is always someone for us to talk to. It is always better to share how we feel so that we can learn from others' experiences.
