Skip , in my case it took little less than four month's , before moving to Yahoo messenger with my Wife . But remember , she knew English enough to communicate well that way . At the beginning , our Translator ( which is a good friend of our's ) was so amazed how our relationship procressed , that she had no reason to put herself into our writing's . She even convinced us , to go via E-Mail , to save me the Chnlove EMF fee's . Now , up to this Day , I have not hear'd of anybody else here or on the other Forums , being told by the Translator to do that .
As with one of my Sister's , the Translator still put himself into the letter's , I can see it and I have learned to know the difference . Another thing I have noticed from Translator's , when you have many Credit's and not written to anybody for some time , they will write for the Lady themselves ( the whole letter ) but it is a dead giveaway . I don't get upset about this , even though it cost's me a Credit , it just remind's me that I have not written this wonderful Sister for a long time . So it's like a reminder that cost me a little money , I find nothing wrong wiith that , since they don't over do it . I'm not made out of Money , so I do watch carefully , that they not taking me for a ride . My second Sister , also knew that it cost me money to write to her , so she told me to use E- Mail instead and gave me her Address .
To answer your question , how long before moving to direct E-Mailing , that is of course up to the Lady , having or not having a Computer . These People are not as Rich or able to affort such Item's like we do , so do not tale it personal as a way to keep getting money from you through EMF's . True in some cases . but mostly not .
