MandarinFriends

MandarinFriends.org is a large group that holds meetings in Los Angeles and Orange county. We encourage the learning of Mandarin among non-native speakers and look for making friends with native speakers.

About Us & Media: http://www.mandarinfriends.org/about

Become a member to stay updated with info regarding Mandarin-Chinese opportunities! Anyone in the world can become a member!

The Mission

Our mission is to create an atmosphere so members can immerse in spoken Mandarin Chinese. The meetups are fun for networking and friendship and you can language exchange (English-Chinese-other?).

The Members

Our members are united by their ability to speak Mandarin Chinese. That gives the rest of us an opportunity to learn about their culture and language. We rejoice in the non-heritage Mandarin speakers and turn a blind-eye to political borders. We have members visiting from different countries who would like to interact via cyberspace with SKYPE (see Message Boards). We have all levels, from two words to native!

*Special Clarification*

This is an activity group, not a dating website. Members identified as threat will be quickly removed from the group.
