[Casual] Mandarin Conversations & Chengyu Study - Virtual Meeting

• What we'll do

Every fourth Saturday 1-3pm each month, come to talk, listen, discuss, and learn at this online meeting.

Remember, the key to learning a language is to befriend people from that background.

As the host, I have prepared a handout including comparisons between Chinese and English idioms and Chinese " Chengyu 成语 " stories. The link for that handout can be found in " Comments " below.

I am hosting the meeting virtually on Zoom. Please familiarize yourself with Zoom software beforehand (http://zoom.us).
