Mandarin Mixer: Language, Chinese culture, Laughs & Learning

Welcome to our very first Mandarin Meetup! Whether you're just starting out or already on your language journey, this event is all about connecting, sharing, and learning together in a cozy and quiet environment.

We’ll meet at the library (Centre Culturel et Communautaire Sanaaq) to ensure a peaceful space where everyone can feel comfortable speaking and listening. This is a safe, respectful, and inclusive group where all levels are welcome!
🗓️ What to Expect:

• Warm-up & Introductions: Let’s get to know each other with some light conversation and share our Mandarin learning stories.
• Learning Exchange: We’ll talk about characters, tones, and tips that have helped us along the way.
• Conversation Practice: Practice speaking Mandarin in pairs or small groups—no pressure, just fun!
• Cultural Sharing: Bring a fun fact, story, or question about Chinese culture, travel, or food to share with the group.

💬 Why Join?

• Practice Mandarin in a friendly, low-pressure setting
• Meet fellow learners and native speakers
• Share resources, tips, and motivation
• Make new friends who share your interest in Chinese language and culture
• Most importantly—have fun while learning!

Bring your curiosity, your stories, and your smile. We can’t wait to meet you!
