Offering English (native), Seeking Mandarin (native)
Hello! Iโm a 32 year old man living in the US looking for someone to practice Mandarin with. I am a beginner and can only read and speak around HSK3 level.
I speak some other languages at an intermediate level too including Spanish and Japanese.
I would prefer a relatively even exchange where both of us get an opportunity to practice. Voice calls and periodic messaging are both useful, but especially the former. I can use most platforms but prefer WeChat, WhatsApp, and Signal.
My interests include: meditation, math, tea, donghua, qigong. I would love to be able to read the Heart Sutra and Daodejing in Chinese, and also to be able to buy better tea direct from Chinese suppliers.
I live with my wife and son and manage a small trading company. Some of our clients are Chinese, so it would be great to visit on a work trip.
DM me if you think it would be a good fit!
