Ask-A-Teacher Japanese Study Chat!

[dshadoff]

Umm... Tuesday @ 1:00pm Pacific is still Tuesday in Britain, not Wednesday.

So I guess there should be a clarification as to whether this is a Tuesday slot or a Wednesday slot in Europe.

[YesJapan Dave]

We've updated the time/day options. Thanks for the correction.

[YesJapan Dave]

UPDATE:
NEW TUESDAY AFTERNOON CHAT JUST ADDED!
Every Tuesday
1:00 PM (USA Pacific)
9:00 PM (UK time)

*This chat was started at the request of members from the USA & Europe who couldn't make our Wednesday night chats. So we hope this helps more of you participate!

Hey, I'm trying to connect to the chat room now, but all I'm getting is 'connecting...' - I was able to get in earlier but for some reason it's stopped working. Just wanted to check and see if there were any known problems?

Edit: - Scratch that, it's working again

Damn, sorry I missed it again. Sound like some good topics. My desktop is finally set up (with cable!) in the new apartment, albeit sitting on top of a wobbly card table that sort of scares me a bit, so maybe next time!

Out of curiosity, was the "person who cannot keep secrets" 口が軽い　「くち　が　かるい」
With the opposite (tight-lipped) being 口が堅い？　「くち　が　かたい」
