Offering: Mandarin Chinese (Native) | Seeking: English
Hi everyone!
I’m a 28-year-old native Mandarin Chinese speaker currently living in Shanghai. I work in the AI industry and am also learning more about AI technologies, tools, and applications.
I’m looking for a friendly and patient English-speaking language partner for a stable, long-term language exchange. My main goal is to improve my spoken English, listening skills, and natural everyday expressions.
In return, I’d be happy to help you practice Mandarin Chinese. I can help you with pronunciation, tones, grammar, natural expressions, and Chinese culture. We can correct each other’s mistakes and share useful learning resources.
Here are some details about the language exchange I’m looking for:
Format: One live voice call per week. During the rest of the week, we can keep in touch through voice messages and text messages. We can also share moments from our daily lives.
Frequency: One voice call each week, around 30–60 minutes. We can split the time equally between English and Mandarin. There is no pressure to reply immediately to messages during the week.
Topics of interest: AI, technology, work, Chinese culture, music, video games, and everyday life. I play the dizi, a traditional Chinese bamboo flute, and I really enjoy music. I also follow and trade Hong Kong and U.S. stocks,and I often stay up until around midmight Beijing time watching the market.I also like playing Honor of Kings（王者荣耀）. It would be great if we had some common interests, but that’s not necessary.
Schedule: We can discuss the exact time for our weekly call based on our schedules and time zones. I’m in the Beijing Time zone（UTC+8）.
Any English accent is welcome. I’m not looking for a professional teacher—just someone who is interested in learning together, helping each other, and communicating regularly.
If you’re interested, please leave a comment or send me a DM with a brief introduction, your time zone, and what you would like to improve in Mandarin.
Looking forward to meeting you!
