Do you want to advance your Mandarin language speaking skills? Whether you're a Mandarin language learner or a native speaker of Mandarin, join our club to improve your speaking and language skills!

Our meetings are conducted entirely in Mandarin Chinese with members whose Mandarin language abilities range from **intermediate to advanced**. If you've been struggling to get past the intermediate level of Chinese, this is the club for you! Take an active part in your language learning by writing and delivering speeches, improving your listening comprehension, answering impromptu questions, and receiving feedback.

**Please RSVP to receive a link to our Zoom meeting.** The meeting will begin promptly at 6pm, but please sign in 10 minutes before it starts to test your webcam and microphone. **We ask all guests joining our meetings to please respect the following meeting etiquette**:

* Join the meeting on time. Please sign in 10 minutes before the meeting starts.
* Turn camera on and face the camera. Make sure you are in a well-lit environment.
* Avoid multitasking or walking around during the meeting as this can be distracting to other guests
* Participate in the breakout room you're assigned to

If the etiquette is not respected, the Sergeant-at-arms will remove the offender.

We meet twice a month, every second and fourth Thursday of the month.

Have you always wanted to feel more comfortable speaking in group settings? Are you looking for a way to improve your Mandarin language skills? Or, do you want to meet Mandarin learners from a wide variety of backgrounds, languages, and cultures, who share a common interest and enthusiasm for learning and personal development?

Join us for a casual and friendly Toastmasters session where you can share your ideas about various topics and learn from other Mandarin speakers. If you are a native Mandarin speaker, this is a unique opportunity to gain experience in public speaking without worrying about language. If you are a Mandarin learner, don't let the words "Public Speaking" intimidate you - if you are a beginner learner, all the more reason to join!

**Native Mandarin Speakers:** Gain experience speaking and presenting in your native language, so you can focus solely on improving your public speaking skills. Toastmasters is highly recognized in most companies and is an excellent professional organization to join to expand your experience. You can also meet a large number of native English speakers who share an interest in your language and culture.

**Mandarin Learners:** gain experience using the Mandarin language to express your ideas and learn from more advanced speakers. Our club consists of members from Beginner level to native speaking. With the wide range of language proficiency levels, you have a unique opportunity to practice public speaking in Mandarin in a comfortable and pressure-free setting. We also offer a language buddy program if you want to be paired with a native Mandarin speaker from Beijing.
