Looking for language partner in Cornell | offering Chinese |seeking English
Hi everyone👋! I’m a 22-year-old Chinese student currently doing my graduate studies in Cornell University. Chinese is my native language, and I speak standard Mandarin.
I’m looking for someone who’s interested in a Chinese–English language exchange. I studied English mainly through reading back in China, so while I’m fairly comfortable with written English, my listening and speaking skills are still something I really want to improve. Since I recently came to the U.S., I’ve realized that keeping up with everyday conversations can be quite challenging sometimes😭
Meanwhile,I’d be more than happy to help you with Chinese! I can help with Mandarin pronunciation, everyday Chinese, conversation, or anything else you’d like to practice.
I also spent several years living and studying in Beijing during college, so I’m familiar with life in a big Chinese city. I’ve also traveled to many different parts of China, and I’d be happy to share my experiences, recommend places to visit, or talk about the differences between different regions of China. I’d also love to learn more about culture and everyday life from you!
Ideally, I’d love to find someone around my age who is patient and genuinely interested in language and cultural exchange. It would be great to meet up in person for coffee, a walk, or just casual conversation, but I’m also happy to do online exchanges.
If you’re interested, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself and what you’re hoping to get out of a language exchange. Looking forward to meeting someone! :)
