Learning how to reschedule an appointment

 * It seems that your blog is being useful to someone else. A young lady called Nani Freitas is following your lessons and as far as I'm concerned is enjoying it a lot.

Asking to reschedule an appointment


1- Can we postpone our appointment?
2- Let's see if we can find another day when we could study together.
3- Could we postpone till Thursday?
4- Could we move it up? ( It means moving it to an earlier time)
5- Could we move it up slightly?
6- Could we move it up one hour?
7- Could we move it up to 12 o'clock?
