Mandarin Friends is a self-serve practice community for Mandarin learners—and Chinese speakers who want friendly language exchange.
Use it to:
- practise Mandarin every day
- follow beginner, intermediate, or advanced 7-day speaking paths
- train pronunciation without waiting for a teacher
- practise real-life roleplays alone or with a member
- meet learners and ask for help with real phrases
New here? Open Start Here in the Classroom, choose your path, and complete one 15-minute activity. Every lesson works alone when nobody else is online. When someone is available, reply with one genuine follow-up question.
Chinese speakers: add 中文母语 / Chinese speaker to your introduction and say whether you want to practise English or meet learners. Exchange short messages as equals; nobody is expected to become an unpaid teacher.
There is no promised founder-led weekly call. Live events appear only when a member volunteers to host. Ask before correcting; add 请帮我改一下 when you want feedback.
