The Midtown Mandarin Exchange is our new consistent weekly meetup, taking place every Sunday evening. If you cannot make it to this one, we look forward to seeing you the very next week.

We will gather for drinks, conversation, and our signature toastmaking session. Each participant is invited to briefly speak to the group about something they have learned or noticed along their Mandarin journey. All levels are welcome.

We are all about authentic connections and good vibes.

Here is what you can expect:
- A mix of friendly faces. Get ready to chat, mingle, and laugh your way to fluency.
- Zero pressure, all fun. We are here to practice, not judge. Come as you are and let your Mandarin flow.
- An upscale NYC pub atmosphere. Langan's is comfortable, accessible, lively, and offers drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), snacks, and dinner options.
- Public speaking practice. Each guest can raise a glass and share a short reflection in Mandarin or English.
This is your chance to:
- Boost your confidence and fluency through real conversations.
- Discover new ways to express yourself in Mandarin.
- Build lasting friendships in a warm and welcoming community.
- Reflect, share, and celebrate your progress with others.
P.S. We know schedules get busy. That is why we created a weekly Sunday meetup. Just show up, relax, and enjoy the evening. Feel free to bring friends who enjoy Chinese language and culture.
