Mig Posted October 25, 2021 at 03:38 PM Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 at 03:38 PM Is there a group to join in Wechat to practice Chinese or language exchange with native speakers? If there are some, how to join or how to find them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are some, how to join or how to find them? There are probably thousands given how many I've been in (maybe 10 in total, without looking), I think there is a search function on the app, but I never tried that. Originally, I got invited to a couple from people I met on Hellotalk. For me, one led to more invite, and eventually I could be a bit more picky, and just stayed in the best ones (most active/ most learners/ useful knowledge) , and then you get invited to others again from that once people realise you are a regular at 'giving and receiving' - as it were. I'd try the following, 1. If you have Wechat, I assume you have friends on it - so ask all of them 2. See what the search facility does on wechat 3. If you use Hellotalk or other chat apps, ask people you know in there, if you've known them a while 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
道艺 Posted October 26, 2021 at 09:44 AM Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 at 09:44 AM I've been running one based in (but not limited to) Shanghai for almost 3 yrs. The only rule really is to keep most communication in both Chinese/Eng so everyone can be engaged. If interested, pm me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungouk Posted October 26, 2021 at 01:23 PM Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 at 01:23 PM If you want to do structured language exchange with native speakers, it might be better to go to a site like italki.com and set up paid sessions with community teachers. I've only had limited experience with HelloTalk and chatting on WeChat (and random F2F language exchange for that matter), but many people seem to find that this kind of thing, if unpaid, fizzles out very quickly. If anyone can point me to groups that go beyond this I would be happy to hear about them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny同志 Posted October 26, 2021 at 01:34 PM Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 at 01:34 PM I think we should have a WeChat group for our members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
