[Seeking] English / [Offering] Mandarin | English Education grad student looking for a conversation partner!

Hi everyone!

I’m a graduate student majoring in English Education from China.

Here’s my little confession: despite studying English education, my spoken English isn't where I want it to be yet! I often find myself overthinking grammar or struggling to express my thoughts smoothly in real-time. So, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone to practice!

What I’m looking for:
- Native or fluent English speakers who are patient and open to casual chats.
- Practice via text/voice messages first, and short voice calls later if we're both comfortable.
- Any topic is welcome! Daily life, hobbies, academic life, culture, movies, or books.

What I can offer in return:
- Native Mandarin proficiency: I can help with daily conversation, pronunciation, and culture/slang.
- A teacher’s patience: Since my major is in teaching, I’m happy to help explain language points or fix sentence structures!

If you’re learning Mandarin and want a friendly partner to practice with, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM!

Looking forward to connecting!
