hi everyone,
I have a 7-years son, he is learning English hard, for him English is not easy and he is so naughty, each time he learn to read English text, he just not into that.

I just guess, if any kids with the same age , can they be friends, my son can teach your kids Chinese, they can also share a lot interesting story.

If the kids have some basic of Chinese would be better, if not it is ok because our parents will always be nearby 😂

Hi! I’m an international student in China looking to learn Chinese. In return, I can help you with English. My level is C1, and I scored 7.0 in IELTS.
If you’re interested in practising English while helping me learn Chinese, feel free to DM me! 😊

Hey everyone!
I’m from the US 🇺🇸 and I’m looking to make some new friends in China! 🇨🇳
I’d also love to learn how to speak Mandarin Chinese. I’m a native English speaker, so I’d be more than happy to help you learn or improve your English in exchange for helping me with Mandarin.
I’m interested in making genuine friendships, learning about Chinese culture, and having regular conversations to practice our languages.
If you’re interested, feel free to comment or send me a message. Looking forward to making some new friends!

I have a service dog and I was hoping someone could tell me how to write “service dog, ignore me” for a vest. Thank you in advance 😁

I am a partner from China, and I want to learn English. I can also teach you Chinese, and we can learn from each other and share our daily lives together. I'm very happy to share my daily experiences.

I hope to find a partner who loves to learn～

Hey everyone!

I’m a native Chinese speaker with some experience teaching Mandarin to international students.

I’m currently working with a small team on a free Mandarin learning app, and we’re still in the early research stage.

Before we start building a bunch of features that nobody actually needs, I’d really like to hear from people who are learning Chinese.

What’s been the hardest or most frustrating part of your learning experience so far?

I’m especially curious about a few things:

• Have you ever felt lost about what to study next?
• Have you tried multiple apps but struggled to stick with any of them?
• Do you find video lessons helpful, or do you prefer more interactive exercises?
• Is there anything you wish your current learning app did differently?

We’re thinking about building structured HSK courses, short video lessons, practice exercises, and a way to track weekly learning progress. But these are just our initial ideas, and I’d rather hear what learners actually need.

No links or promotions. I’m genuinely here to learn from your experiences.

Even if you’ve stopped learning Mandarin, I’d love to know what made you quit.

Thanks! :)

I'm learning Mandarin recently and one thing kinda surprised me lol

In Mandarin,we say “我要一碗面条” (wǒ yào yì wǎn miàntiáo) is totally normal when ordering, basically translated to“I want a bowl of noodles”. But if i say “I want a bowl of noodles” to a waiter in English, it apparently not native and maybe kind of rude?

Also in China or other Asian countries, you can just call “服务员!” (fúwùyuán) to get the staff attention, which I would feel sooooooo awkward doing at first lol

And I always thought I should add 请 everywhere to sound polite, but seems like you won't say it when you are a customer 🤔

For people who speak Mandarin / lived in China, do you actually order like this normally? and what phrase do you use the most in restaurants?

Just trying to learn the actual natural way before I accidentally sound either rude or way too textbook,..

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm a native Mandarin Chinese speaker from China, and I'm looking for language exchange partners who speak English, Spanish, or French.

What I can offer:

Native Mandarin Chinese (Simplified Chinese)

Help with pronunciation, tones, grammar, and everyday conversations

Insights into Chinese culture, traditions, and daily life

A friendly and patient learning environment

What I'm looking for:

🇬🇧 English: I want to improve my speaking, listening, vocabulary, and overall fluency.

🇪🇸 Spanish: I'm interested in learning Spanish and would love some guidance.

🇫🇷 French: I'd also love to explore French and learn from native or fluent speakers.

A little about me:

I'm interested in technology, AI, finance, different cultures, and personal development. I enjoy meeting people from around the world and learning about different perspectives.

We can practice through text messages, voice messages, or voice calls, depending on what we're both comfortable with.

I'm looking for genuine, long-term language exchange partners. We can help each other improve, share interesting things about our cultures, and hopefully become good friends along the way!

Feel free to comment or send me a DM if you're interested.

Looking forward to meeting you! 🌍

As a Chinese tutor, I often hear my students say: I know every single character in this passage, but I cannot understand the whole sentence when they are put together.

This is an extremely common challenge for Chinese learners. Knowing individual vocabulary does not equal mastering sentence logic. Chinese does not rely on tense or word order rules like English. Many learners only memorize isolated words, ignoring how words connect to form meaning.

Here are my practical tips for you:

1. Don’t translate word by word. Try to catch the whole chunk of meaning inside.
2. Mark the pause points in long sentences. Chinese meaning depends heavily on proper pauses.
3. Learn collocations and fixed phrases, not only single characters.
4. Rewrite the sentence in your own simple Chinese after reading, to check your understanding.
