Thanks a lot for the videos on youtube and this blog. Don't stop it's really nice and helpful.
ReplyDeleteyes don't stop, keep on posting. I enjoy attending your Mongolian lesson online :)
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI've been living in UB for 3 months and I'll be here for at least one year but likely more. I've been looking around for language schools but the info on the web is not very helpeful. I really found your youtube lessons useful. Are you in UB and if so would you consider tutoring me? I work at NUM and have looked at their classes but they are very expensive and I've heard they're not very good.
Hope to hear from you!
First off, Thank you for your notes! I am currently in the U.S., so I could consider teaching over skype during the weekend. Is this something you would be interested in? Let me know.

DeleteHey there, I appreciate your offer and I'm sure with your style of teaching I would learn well but my internet isn't so reliable here and skype tends to be a bit iffy. I have since started taking lessons in UB. Thanks again and I will keep looking out for new videos you post.
DeleteBest wishes,
Nathan
