What we’re about

This is a group for two kinds of people - those who seek to learn Mandarin conversational skills and those who seek to learn and improve their English. This group is focused on facilitating the practice of the two language exchanges by having native-speakers there to model conversations in various social settings.Β  We periodically organize fun events such as dinners or nature trips to explore different cultures and customs. Friendships and fun times are encouraged!

*** The majority of our Meetup events are held in the San Gabriel Valley, about 7 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. Our regular weekly Meetups are held on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Please take this into consideration depending on where you live. Occasionally we meet for events on the weekends. You are welcome to join the group if you can only attend the weekend events. ***

This group is not for people in sales and are looking for clients. This group is not for people who are soliciting members into their organizations; such as churches, temples, multi-level marketing (MLM), real estate, or other businesses outside of our organized events. People in the above professions or anything where sales are involved will be asked to find another avenue for their pursuits.

Our group is for developing a community of people who want to improve their language skills and enjoy the company of like-minded individuals. Discrimination or harassment of other members will not be tolerated. While we encourage networking and friendships among group members, please be respectful of each other’s personal boundaries.

This group is very fun! It has survived for many years due to the great members that are kind, respectful, courteous to one another while enjoying socializing, practicing and helping one another learn and practice English and Mandarin.

We sometimes get together for hikes, movies, or other community activities on the weekends. If all of the above is a match for you, come join us!
