CCX — Chinese Connect X

Every meeting has a theme. Not as deep as our English Corner, because foreigners' Chinese tends to be on the lower level than our Chinese friends' English. (truth!) Though if you're on the intermediate and advanced level, there's a bunch of locals who are more than happy to talk to you in Chinese. The proportion of the participants is around 40% foreigners and 60% locals.

In the past we've talked about food, travel, hobbies, movies — and we relate them to China and anything Chinese as much as we can. We have also learned how to play Mahjong and had a traditional Chinese dance performance. The group activity is led by my Chinese friend, Zoe.

Our foreign visitors also tend to be more diverse than our English Corner (whose foreigners tend to be people from English speaking countries). In the past we've had people from the following countries:

It's true that in a way the whole of China can be your Chinese Corner lol, but this is the microcosm of that.

Don't worry about your Chinese level, just come and experience the melting pot of bilingualism, united by things we have in common rather than our differences.
