Chinese for English (or any other useful skills I might have...or coffee, or drinks, or snacks...or just out of the kindness of your heart).)

I'm look for anyone who would be willing to help me brush up on my Chinese before I move to China.  I used to be damn near fluent (and close to literate!) in Chinese (my university major was in Chinese Language and Literature and I lived in Taiwan for a year).  Unfortunely, as I was rather harshly reminded when I tried to speak Chinese in an interview this morning, languages go quickly if you don't use them--I tried to speak to my Chinese job interviewer this morning in broken Frinese (that's French-Chinese); it was not one of the high points of my year so far.  In exchange for Chinese conversation, I can offer native english or the coffee/drinks to last us through our talking.  If you can help me out, shoot me a private message.  


 


Cheers,


Kat
