Who we are
We're a community of Chinese learners who meet regularly online to speak Chinese.
We're a place where learners connect, practice, and grow together.
All of our sessions are held online, and we welcome learners of every level, from complete beginners to advanced speakers.
Our sessions are organized by theme, focus area (speaking, writing, grammar, reading, and more), and level, so there's always something that's right for you.
Sessions are held throughout the week at different times.
You can find here the fixed sessions for the upcoming month. New sessions are added regularly by the leaders as the month goes by.
Supporting materials is provided for every session.
