Native-like or not
Dear All,
If you don't mind, I'd like to ask a few questions about the following sentence:
When do you think next training sessions will take place and will they be connected with the one that took place on Saturday (Sep 20th) or not? If yes, will there be a chance to take the same training in the future?
1) Would you say it sounds native-like? If not, would you please point out what's wrong about it or what a native speaker wouldn't say?
2) next training sessions - do we need a definite article in front of this phrase?
3) will they be connected with the one that took place on Saturday (Sep 20th) or not - is this question correct?
4) I think connected is followed by to, not with
5) would it be better to rephrase this question "will they be connected with the one that took place on Saturday (Sep 20th) or not" into ---> will they be connected to the one that took place on Saturday (Sep 20th) or will they be separate trainings?
I feel it's a bit awkward with will being repeated twice.
Thanks a million

1) The English appears native-like apart from the omission of "the" before "next training sessions". ) However, I would put a comma after "take place". The reason for the dependency of the second question on the first is not immediately clear to me.
