Description: I am looking to find conversation partners, My Mandarin Chinese is fluent and I use it for work, but I'm always interested to try and learn more for work or pleasure. My Cantonese is just basic phrases, so I want to practice those and try and go a step further. My Japanese is now intermediate and I'm focused on Japanese as my next language to master, after Mandarin. Thanks! I'm a British native English speaker and my knowledge of English is superb.

: Hello! My name is Connie, I am British. I studied French and Chinese at university but sadly, as often happens when you stop using your language, I have lost a lot of it. I teach French and Mandarin at a secondary school. I am looking to practice my spoken skills and speak to native speakers! In return I hope I can give you the chance to practice your English and have a chat :).
