*DATE CHANGE 23rd NOV* Chinese English Language Exchange London

Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese) & English Language Exchange London
伦敦中英语交流

时间和地点：Hollywood Bowl O2 Arena - Amusement Area | 1pm - 3pm

我们这周的活动将会在以上地点进行，我们照旧会通过玩大家带来的游戏来学习，加上那里其他可以自费的游戏让大家玩 🙌🏻

理念：通过各种游戏上的合作和沟通来自然提升英语水平

价钱：免费如果自带1个游戏 （或者）£2

任何游戏都可以，抖音学的，家乡的，只需要身体语言的，不需要道具的，棋盘类的，都可以，你觉得好玩就行! 😮

我们的宗旨：把学习当游戏

大家好！我叫Jay，从小在英国长大的中国人，所以英语说的很好，可中文就差了一点。我想在伦敦也很多人像你我一样，要不就是想把中文练好然后可以前途无量，要不就是海龟刚到英国，希望可以学好英语令父母骄傲，朋友妒忌（说笑的！）。但说到底，我们都是希望可以学好大家的母语。既然是这样，我们有什么理由不互相帮助呢？

特别的是，我们的做法跟其他语言交流不一样，我们会用玩游戏和做活动的方式来自然提升英语水平。

研究指出通过玩游戏上的合作和沟通来学英语会比两个人坐下来闲聊更容易入脑。因为这能让学习更有结构，而且可以立刻学以至用。

所以我们这里学的快，好玩，而且不会有像闲聊的问题，没有结构，或者有冷场。

玩不一定需要语言，但是语言是一起玩之后必送的附加礼品。起码这是我们的经历。

就算你好像我刚到英国一样连APPLE都不会拼，九个月之后你也会能像我一样跟外国人打成一片（甚至于英文好到连中文都开始忘记了呵呵）。

我们这里是一个大家庭，大家都会有所建议。我们个人进步的同时，这里也会进步。让大家觉得来这里更有价值，更好玩，更开心。

如果你是第一次来，你一到门我们就会跟你自我介绍，把你带进我们的群里。

再不用担心一开始很难入群，会有冷场，又或者一进门就成了全世界的焦点。

无论是害羞或者慢热，你都会毫无压力而自然的加入我们这家庭里。

希望下次能见到你。

Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese) & English Language Exchange London

Time and place: Hollywood Bowl O2 Arena - Amusement Area | 1pm - 3pm

This week we are heading to Hollywood Bowl for our event! We will still learn by playing the games you bring with the addition of other games in the amusement area of the venue 🙌🏻

Our goal: To naturally improve verbal communication skills in Mandarin or Cantonese through cooperation in various games and team building exercises.

Price: Free (if you bring any game) or £2

Any game will do, whether it’s self made, self taught, store bought, spoken, written, mimed or a game passed down in your family, as long as you like it, we will too! 🤘

Our motto: We learn by playing.

Hi everyone! My name is Jay and I am a British “Grown” Chinese. Therefore English has become my first language whilst Mandarin and Cantonese has sadly become my second. I believe there are lots of you like me who would love to learn, or improve their Chinese because you too believe it would open your world to much more opportunities. As it slowly becomes a consuming economy, China is where the money is. If you happen to be going to China soon, being able to speak the language on a basic level will undoubtedly get you much further, both in terms of experience and money. You might even meet your new best friend here and we all know there is nothing better than having a local show you around their country.

What’s better than learning Chinese by speaking it to a native? This is where you will find those who will be happy to speak, as well as teach you their native language, and all they ask for in return is you speaking to them in yours. Everybody wins, it really can’t get easier than that.

Here are the questions that I guess are in your mind right now and I will answer them one by one.

“Would I end up speaking English all the time and get nothing out of this?”

• No, because it is compulsory for everyone to communicate in Chinese for half the session.

“I don’t know any Chinese at all, would I end up not speaking for half the session and get nothing out of this in the end?”

• No, what is unique about us is that most of each session will be dedicated to playing various games or team building exercises that require only a few key sentences or phrases. We will go through those before we start the games. Since you will be using it immediately and repeatedly, you will being to understand the meaning behind each word that compose the sentence, and you will never forget it again.

“I will only be learning a few phrases each session?”

• Yes, but only at first. After a few sessions, your repertoire will be much bigger, and you will also begin to learn much faster because you can begin to associate different words together to make your own sentences. To us, quality is more important than quantity, even if you learned every sentence in a book in one session, it is useless if you forget it or don’t know how to use it. It’s always better to understand the words that make up only a few sentences than blindly remembering hundreds of sentences.

We are a family here, we help each other, have fun and are open to suggestions. We will feel our time is increasingly well spent here, because as we improve individually, so will we as a whole.

If it’s your first time here, we will introduce ourselves to you at the door and introduce you to a few people in our group. There is no need to be anxious about not knowing where to sit or having to introduce yourself. And the best part is, because everyone is focused on the game they are playing, you don’t have to worry all eyes being on you the moment you come through the door. The next time you are here, we will introduce you to a few new people, and in no time you will naturally be a part of our family.

Come join us and easily take away something amazing. We hope to see you soon.
Jay
