: Hi, I'm currently studying at UC Berkeley. I have studied Chinese intensively in the past, but would also like to keep on improving. The two areas that I would like to practice the most are: 1) tones and 2) reading literature. Let me know if you are interested in being my language exchange partner, and what kind of help you would need to improve your language skills in English. We could meet in a cafe at first, but I'm also down to take a walk and chat - the bay area seems perfect for that.
