Good morning

As a former attendee, I would like to re-start and practice with everyone. The problem for me is, I live in San Marcos and because of traffic it isn't so easy for me to meet with everyone at the current location. 

What would help me? If we started at 5 PM vice 6:30 (I work downtown San Diego and get off work at 4PM... I don't want to wait around for 2 1/2 hours for class. 

Perhaps hold a practice session on Saturday?

Perhaps open a chapter in the north county? 

I have always had good results whenever I went in the past. I would enjoy practicing again but... 

Just my 2-cents. 

I hope the group continues...

Bom dia, 

Louis Marbrey

Tom,
     That restaurant in North Park has very good food.  I enjoyed it there.  I think you have also made a lot of effort to organize a good group.  Thank you.
     Unfortunately, the two times that I was there, the Brazilian ladies who were also present kept entirely to themselves.  I could not practice with them.  I have found it more profitable to find Brazilians on Skype who are trying to learn English. It has helped me a lot.
     Wayne, if you read this message, get in touch with me.  I have some ideas for you.

Yours Faithfully,

Bradley Nelson

 Hi
 Tom,
 I want to
 learn Portuguese but know nothing. I do not even know the  standard beginning phrase "hello, how are you?".  Mondays are bad days for me because I live in Temecula and  have to get up at 4:00am to work the next day. I would  really like to learn the language because it would help me  in my work. Anybody that would volunteer their time  (hopefully our schedules would synch)or point me to a  web-site or other direction would be  appreciated.Thanks, Wayne

 Hi
 Tom,
 I am one
 of the new members and currently am living in Temecula and  came down a couple of times but no one comes. For me  it's a long drive minimum two hours that's for time  lid the gas. Why don't people show up?

 Our group is almost 5 years
 old. Meetup is raising the price they charge me to sponsor  the group. Several dozen new members, but none show up. Is  it time to fold up our tent? If we can get 8 people to RSVP  positively for this Monday, April 20, I will drive the 40  minutes round trip to be with you. Otherwise, should we  change to only ONE meeting per month? This group is for you  to improve your Portuguese; if you've lost interest,  please let me know. Muito obrigado. Abraços, Tom
