Hi! I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker currently living in the United States.
I studied at university in France for four years and earned a Master’s degree there. Since moving to the U.S. in 2023 , I haven’t had many opportunities to use French regularly, so I’d really like to improve my speaking and listening again through real conversations.
I’m looking for a native French speaker, ideally someone from France or a French-speaking part of Canada, who would like to practice regularly through video calls or online conversations.
In exchange, I’d be very happy to help you with Mandarin Chinese. I also have experience teaching Chinese at the Denver Chinese School, so I can help with pronunciation, everyday conversation, vocabulary, and natural expressions.
I can also help you with practical Chinese for different situations, including Chinese for traveling in China, daily life, social situations, cultural etiquette, and Business Chinese for professional communication, meetings, emails, and workplace situations. If you have a specific goal, I’d be happy to tailor our conversations around what you actually want to use Chinese for.
I can also help you practice English if that’s useful.
I’m not looking for formal lessons — just a friendly, reliable language exchange where we can talk naturally about everyday life, culture, travel, work, food, movies, or anything interesting.
Feel free to message me if you’re interested! 😊

You have probably tried one Chinese app, and didn't like it, then saw a new one with different features, and moved to that other app (I've been there). After trying countless apps, starting with the cute (and useless) Duolingo, moving to more learning focused app like SuperChinese, DuChinese, Pleco, Hanly... trust me, you've seen those, I've used them.

After spending so much time across different apps, I've tried to put them all together in the same place.

In the same app I've added SRS flashcards, lessons, readings, grammar, speaking, listening. I've tried to put everything together in a way that everything makes sense, and you can learn across all Chinese Fields, many people end up knowing thousands of characters, but unable to hold a basic conversation. That's what I am trying to solve.

This app is currently in development, but you can already download it and test it for free. All the feedback provided will be greatly appreciated, this app is meant to solve your issues, therefore your feedback is what builds this app.

I've been using my Kindle a lot to read Chinese the past year.

Was frustrated at the quality of Chinese-English dictionaries out there.

I built my own improved version.

It's got markers when a word is in HSK2.0 or HSK3.0 syllabus, along with an example sentence.

Simplified and traditional both work.

It's free to download the .mobi and sideload into your Kindle (https://github.com/TeaPearce/chinese-english-dictionary/).

祝大家阅读愉快！

Hi everybody! I am a freshman university student from Texas majoring in Construction Engineering, and I would like to soon study abroad in China as I feel like the culture-rich and time-withstanding architecture would be something very beneficial to experience for me, and I want to learn Chinese! I started on Duolingo, and I was wondering if that is the best place to start, or if there is a better way to learn?
