[Xmca-l] Re: Videos on perezhivanie from Nikolai Veresov

[Wagner Luiz Schmit]

Dear XMCA Colleagues,

Just to clarify, it is not that people in Japan does not know about CHAT,
it is just about the thesis committee here in the University of Tsukuba.
There are many books about CHAT in Japanese. Sorry for my misleading post.
