Dear Dr. Tim Xie,
 
Thank you very much for your answer. Since I have a regular job, I'll = be working in this project little by little, but be sure that I'll let you = know when it is ready and will share with you the files with which I will g= et the hard copies. It is a very good suggestion to add a lesson about Piny= in and, for sure, I will take this suggestion.
 
I will keep on touch as much as I am advancing in this project and tha= nks a lot for your support.

Dear Ra=FAl,
 
Thanks so much for your clarification.= Feel free to do anything. I will fully support your project. Just let me know when you plan to publish an= official hard copy in the future.
One suggestion regarding the pronunica= tion is to add an introductory lesson about Pinyin (a romanized spelling sy= stem used in Mainland of China). There are many web site about Pinyin. You = can select a good one and translate it into Spanish.=20
This will be an interesting and helpfu= l project. Keep me posted.

Dr. Tim Xie,
 
Thank you very much for your quick response. I don't have, by thi= s moment, the intention to publishing the course, once it is translate= d into Spanish, on the web, in fact, I was thinking on using your written c= ourse to translate it and then to make a hard copy of each lesson in spanis= h and then, to use the mp3 files, that have the sound of each lesson, to tr= anslate just the introductory part of each them and to keep the original re= cording of the lessons, meaning this, to keep the mandarin part of the soun= d and to change just the English part of each one.=20
 
As Spanish has different ways to represent the sounds, since some of t= he combinations of vowels and consonants don't sound the same way as in Eng= lish, it will be a hard job to find the exact combination in my own languag= e to represent faithfully the sound in mandarin, so it'll take me a while t= o come up with the final work, but my intention is to use the exact format = of your work in English and to copy the mandarin representation of each lin= e of text.=20
 
However, it is not a problem for me to put it on line on the web, but = I was not thinking on that at this time.
 
Please let me know any thing that you might need for this request and = if you want me to share this work with you, count on this at all.
 
Thank you very much again for your kindness and for answering so fast.=

Yes, you can translate it into Spanish= . The question is: are you going to do it on the web or publish a hard copy= ? If you are doing it on the web and put it online and your friends are goi= ng to pay you, that will be fine. If you want to publish a hard copy, pleas= e let me know. We will discuss this issue later.=20

Dear Mr. Tianwei Xie,
 
Please, receive my warmest greeting from Chile. I have downloaded the = Conversational Mandarin Chinese On Line from the CSULB site and I find it j= ust great. Eventhough my native language is spanish, I had the chance to le= arn English and that's why I think that learning Mandarin from English has = been much easier and good. I have not found a Spanish - Mandarin course muc= h better and practical than yours.=20
 
My request is to ask you if you can allow me to take this course and t= ranslate it into Spanish to share it with my friends and also there are som= e people that are intereseted in buying this course if I translate it, sinc= e they think that it would take me a while to do it, so they are willing to= pay me for this work, but I can not do this without your permission.=20
 
Any question that you may have, please feel free to ask me and I would= gladly answer you as soon as possible.
 
I'll be looking forward your response and thanks in advanced for your = quick answer and the kindness of reading this message.
 
Best regards,
