Hi,
I'm a spanish guy leaving in Singapore. I've tried to learn mandarin by my own but it was really hard.
I'm thinking if it would be a good idea to exchange mandarin lessons, and i could teach spanish or french.
I would like after work (6.30 aprox.), and i have no idea of mandarin right now.
Please reply if you're interested.
Thanks

Hi invitado,
Acabo de mandar el mensaje de 'new in Singapur', y he visto el tuyo. Yo tambien soy espanola. Te queria preguntar un poco lo mismo que he preguntado en el forum.
Sabes de reuniones donde quedar con gente para ir a cenar, tomar algo, etc? Solamente voy a estar en Singapur 2 meses, pero seria dibertido conocer a gente y explorar la ciudad un poco!
Un saludo
Marta
