Unfortunately except the two hosts anybody was present. We were chatting about everything for two hours.

Among other things we agreed in the “Let it go” pop-song we like both of us very much.

That’s why I share this song of which the lyrics also very good:

Hi Mujibur,

I’ve noticed that you start these messages with ‘Hi, everyone there’. Why do you add the ‘there’? That is not a common expression and looks quite strange.

1808

Possibly: Hi everyone out there

1809

Hi Bev, Alan & everyone out there,

Thanks a lot for your time and correcting me! :slight_smile: I’m very glad to have supports and encouragements the moderators like Alan & Bev are providing always in improving our English language skills. In the meantime, Bev helped me in pronouncing “v” correctly. From now on I’m hopeful to address as “Hi everyone” or “Hi everyone out there”.

Further, please try to consider in joining in some of the Sunday / Wednesday Skype sessions with us to give it a boost! Friends in the Free Skype speaking sessions always appreciates joining of native speakers in it.

Best regards,

Mujibur

C/O Mujibur,

I will be absent this Sunday, as well as in the first chat of April, due to some obligations of my Catholic Church. If something changes in the coming days, I will let you know.

I beg your pardon, and I believe that our team will be able to compensate for my absence.

Have a great week.

Sincere thanks.

N.B. Evylinda proposes hosts to post prior-phrased questions related to the topic on the forum-page for the convenience of Skype session participants to get prepared for conversing more fluently and making the sessions full of new words and phrases to facilitate better learning.
