Hello all!
just wondering where would be the best place to practice my Chinese by online text chat? I'm not good enough yet for spoken conversation but with text chat I can use tools while I converse and with the Pinyin tool of Mac and the text analyser and dictionary of chinese-course.com I can get a conversation going. I think busuu had a chat like that but seems to have disappeared or is it a premium feature now? Any help appreciated! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I studied Chinese for a while and now I'm moving to French. I did a lot of translating between English &
Chinese for posting online. Basically I start off with Google Translate and edit the content after to make sure the text is in the right context. I have a friend in the US with whom we exchange letters & Emails occasionally but not regularly. Being an American-born Chinese his conversation skills is a bit weak but his writing is quite advanced. We would write about different topics from travel, the state of the economy to politics. I'm at the stage where I can watch a Chinese TV show and understand most of the dialog except for 1 or 2 words / phrase in between. Recently I've been following the 2 singing sensations in China originally from Nigeria in W. Africa. His older brother adopted the name: 郝歌 (Hǎogē), the younger one adopted the name: 好弟 (Hǎodì). Both became fluent within 1 year by learning half-dozen Chinese songs phonetically. Right now I am focused on my French. I don't know how high your level of French is. I'm always willing to exchange tutoring services with other people. You send me Chinese text for comments and I will send you something in French for corrections. Otherwise you can try sending a short message on Weibo in English with Chinese translations below that you are willing to exchange services with a Chinese student who is learning English. You correct his English text, he/she correct yours. Weibo (微博) is the popular social networking site in China like Facebook. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
