Question:
I would like to say something like,
"Is emailing OK for starters, and when we get to know each other better maybe use Skype?"
A woman speaking to a woman, if that helps :)
I've got as far as something like, E-meru wa daijoubu hajimete, sore kara (not sure from this point on) ... Skaipu tsukaemasu ka?
A lot of this is probably wrong, but want to try to learn from a starting point!
Thanks!
Answer:
I think it's something like this:
Is emailing OK for starters, and when we get to know each other better maybe use Skype= Saisho-wa meru, sore kara, mo sukoshi otagai-wo shitte-kara Skype-ni shimasem ka?
Is e-mailing ok? = meru shite-mo ii desu ka?
Do you use Skype? = Skype-wo tsukattemasu ka?
Can i Skype you? = Skype-de renraku-wo totte mo ii desu ka?
If you get completely lost - just ask politely, patiently and quietly: "Saisho wa meru - OK??" "Skype wa atode - OK??" lol They will understand you, as Japanese use simplified language in daily life anyway when communicating with friends.
Good luck!
