Just moved to Singapore, and am hoping to really practice my Mandarin...
I'm a Chinese-American (born and raised in the USA), but my Mandarin isn't great since I didn't speak it at home very much. It's not bad, but could use some practice in speaking and occasional correction.
Would love to meet up with people to practice my Mandarin -- and can help with English in return (if necessary).
I know there have been threads like this in the past, but they all died out, so have no idea what happened.
Thanks!

Hi!
Chinese is a nightmare for me, specially the pronounciation. I would love to have chinese friend to chat with. I have been working in Singapore for nearly 5 years, then again, I have yet to focus on my chinese. "It's now or never" , so I have firmly decide to improve my chinese. I would say my english is average. I graduated from NZ and was there for nearly 5 years. If anyone interested to exchange english - chinese, please message me or email
[email protected].
p.s. I am fluent in Indonesian as well.
