I'm a beginner (level 27) and I am looking for someone to play with me. Anyone is welcome, experienced or beginner, as long as you're playing for fun. I'm 20 years old. Please PM me if you're interested :)


Do you know any free Mandarin practice resources (websites, books, videos, TV shows, podcasts) for elementary level, or under intermediate?

I've always heard this expression in Portuguese (my native language): "a curiosidade matou o gato". Then I learned English and there it was again, but I didn't pay much attention to it, until I started studying Mandarin and found it: 好奇害死猫. Can you explain where it came from and how it got into those languages?
I'm not going to China anytime soon, but since I'm learning Mandarin I would love to have a Chinese name. I have no clue which names sound good and I don't know enough characters yet. Any thoughts and suggestions will be much appreciated!
Some info about myself:
I'm male. I like science, philosophy, reading and learning in general. I'm kind of a nerd, introspective, always getting lost in thought. I consider myself pretty competitive and always try to do my best. I think that our beliefs have real impact on our lives, so I always try to be positive. I like creating stuff, poems, drawings etc.
I like the first and second tone, and also the sound "s". Maybe something related to light would
