Revathi:Hi,How have you been?
Me:Hello there,I'm good thank you,How are you doing.
Revathi:I'm also good,what are you doing?
Me:I'm learning English.
Revathi:Oh,that's nice.How long have you been learning English?
Me:In November 17,I'll have been learning English for 2 months.
Revathi:Well,what are you going to do today?
Me:I don't know,probably I will take a rest.
Revathi:Okay,Would you like to have a lunch with me?

Hello,
Yes but we often use 'in' before months and 'on' before days.Why do you suggest 'on' instead of 'in'?
