Offering: Chinese (native) | Seeking: English (native)
Hi, I'm a 30 yo male, working as a software engineer in China, sometimes overseas. I'm here looking for a native English speaker as a study partner as well as a friend.
Whether you just begin learning Chinese or you are looking for a consistent partner to practice with, DM me.
I have learned lots of English words, I hope there's a native speaker telling me what a word/phrase does, implies, connotes; when/where/how often it appears. If you have studied Chinese for years and want to navigate in the Chinese vocabulary, I'd be glad to share my knowledge with you, though I struggle with spoken English 😂. I can tell whether your diction is natural/idiomatic, and of course the formality and connotation of the words you choose.
I use Telegram. I hope we can be good friends! I accept both British and American English. Let's begin with chitchat!
PS: Even if you're not interested in Chinese, we still can talk. I can read news, essays, books in English if you'd like to listen to. Currently I sound a little robotic but generally clear. You can also choose the materials that interest you. I can read most of them without frequently consulting a dictionary. You can be my audience as well as my instructor helping me improve my intonation, pronunciation and answer the confusion I find in the readings!
In the end, I have to emphasize that I, in general, am not looking for a partner to practice spoken English. I'm seeking the native-level knowledge of the English language from native speakers. In exchange, I will make, or help make you a foreign speaker that speaks idiomatic Chinese!
Enjoy studying language!
