What has Telegram got to offer that would be better than discussing things here on the forums?

[Guest]

Telegram is quick and easy to use, especially for:

• Audio messages (just press and hold a button to record audio, useful for recording speaking)
• Photos and videos (they are compressed and sent quickly)
• Quick translation of words (using the translation bot that's in the chat)
• Constant conversation. Forums feel "blocky" to me and I don't like having to go to a website to browse. A group chat is flowing conversation that's quicker to get to, should you have the app installed

There are tons of other improvements I could name, though many of them are small touches and those 4 above are main selling points.

Ok, thanks for the info.

Is Telegram used (or can it be used) in Mainland China? Its selling point is protection of privacy IIRC and this does not sound right for an IM app on Mainland China.

Sounds interesting. I'll join to explore.

What did happen with this group???

@DonCachopo, I had to destroy the group because it essentially became a place for this guy named Felix and a Russian guy to shitpost. There's a better Chinese chat though, located here: https://telegram.me/joinchat/CLreZz3JGigd9GrcQhoK6A

Hi , I just started learning Chinese after an unfortunate hiatus, if any Chinese fellow willing to chat and point out my mistakes that'd be awesome.

We can do it on weekends or two days a week for half an hour or 45 mins. Can talk about any topic.

 

If anyone knows any telegram group which is dedicated to this purpose solely do let me know 

 

I ain't a native English speaker just so you know.

 

Thanks guys.
