Saturday Afternoon in-person at the Prudential Center

A few of us will be getting together for a hangout at the Prudential Center, with the goal of practicing and improving our Mandarin in an informal group setting. We're offering this on a Saturday as a trial to give people a bit more schedule flexibility.

Feel free to join in and leave when you need, there is no requirement to stay the whole time. We'll meet in the spot we've met in before, past the Shake Shack and the US post office, along the south garden windows.

We are happy to welcome all learners, from those who are just starting to people who have been speaking for a decade or more and just want to keep their skills up or mentor other learners.

The venue is open and easily accessible. It's easy to go around and talk to everyone and one can leave and join whenever.

When:
Start time: 2:00 PM EDT (Saturday, April 25, 2026)
End time: 3:30 PM EDT (Saturday, April 25, 2026)

Location:
Tables opposite the USPS Post Office, Prudential Center, 800 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02199.
If using the Prudential center map, this area is more easily identifiable as the tables by the windows overlooking the western side of the South Garden.
If you prefer lat/long: 42.346495889825995, -71.08260311010177

Optional Starter Topic:
What is your top bucket list item?
(你人生清单里最想做的一件事是什么?)

Languages:
English, Mandarin, Cantonese* (this host does not speak Cantonese, but we sometimes have a few Cantonese speakers come)

Our table will be marked with a 大的毛绒牛油果 (a large stuffed avocado). His name is Bernie and he would love to meet you!
