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.

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!
