Anyone here speak Mandarin? I've been learning for a while and I'm always looking for more people to practice with. I hope to be good enough one day to be able to use it as a possible career opportunity, but right now I can have basic conversations and handle myself at a restaurant haha
Anyway definitely let me know if you speak or are learning Mandarin as well!

Also, Italian is on my list of languages to learn, and I used to be pretty ok at German.

    I'd still be glad to practice with you at whatever level. It's always good to go over basics too :)

    I am much better at reading and writing than speaking. My tones are awful. I have forgotten how to speak a lot of what I had learned but I can still read it and write it lol.
