Welcome to Mandarin Friends. Your first goal is to meet one person—not finish another course.
1. Introduce yourself in the comments:
• Name + timezone
• Your level: HSK 1–2, HSK 3–4, HSK 5–6, or “not sure”
Add one label to the beginning of your Skool bio so other members can easily see your Mandarin level:
🟢 Beginner · HSK 1–2
🔵 Intermediate · HSK 3–4
🟣 Advanced · HSK 5–6
⚪ Not sure yet
• Why you are learning Mandarin
• One interest outside Chinese
• One sentence in Mandarin
2. Reply to one person with a real follow-up question. Someone near your level is a great place to start.
3. Optional useful tool: Zhongwen Chinese-English Dictionary for Chrome
It lets you hover over Chinese characters on webpages to see their meaning. Use it to stay inside the conversation instead of stopping for every lookup.
