If there's any mistakes in here, could you correct them for me?

As a background, I want to take English lessons and tried to make reservations online. I got an email from the company and I want to reply to it. Honestly I don't want to tell them a lot about myself. Because I don't know how much the lessons are. I'm afraid that they might be able to change the lesson's fee higher after they have gotten the information about me. haha.



Here is the email from the company;

Thank you for contacting me about a level check and a sample lesson. Are you able to study in the morning or evening or afternoon? Please tell me about yourself. Do you need English for work or personal use? Have you had any pronunciation training before?


Here is my answer email to the company;

Thank you for the email, and I'm sorry for not replying quickly. I want to study early in the morning or around midnight. I live in Osaka, have skype with web cam, and am eager to improve my English pronunciation with your help. I use English for both work and myself. Maybe there are some information's about lesson's fee on the website, but I couldn't find them. So could you let me know about them beforehand? I have never taken any pronunciation training before, so I'm really looking forward to it.

Best,
Banira

Please be harsh in correcting my English:D

Yeah it's a good idea to keep yourself anonymous until the price is decided... possibly even then you should keep yourself anonymous and only give information when they ask.

I think the letter sounds just fine, and it was very understandable even before the corrections. I hope your lessons go well, if you decide to take them.

I wanted to comment that the email you received might be part of the "level check". Even if the lessons are just for pronunciation, the instructor might want to know if you can communicate clearly in English. I read your reply, and I was able to understand everything you said. It might be a good idea to write a reply without using any corrections from Lang-8 so the person reading it is not mislead about your skill level.

It does not sound like this company is asking for much personal information. They only want a few specific pieces of information to know what you would need to learn.

1. Are you able to study in the morning or evening or afternoon?
This question is just to see if you can find a time that lessons will work for both of you.

"Please tell me about yourself." This statement is not really a specific request for information. It is just an introduction to the next two questions. You don't have to say anything in reply to it. You could offer almost any information in reply if you want to, but it is not required.

2. Do you need English for work or personal use?
This question is to determine the level of formality you need. They probably teach different things if people want just one of them.

3. Have you had any pronunciation training before?
This question is to determine how much experience you have. It gives them an idea of what level your lessons would start at.

I hope you are able to find lessons that will teach you what you want to know.
