Offering: Chinese (native) Seeking: English
21M | China | Looking for a long-term language exchange in email.
Hi! I’m 21M, originally from Beijing and currently living in Hefei, China. I’m an undergraduate studying Artificial Intelligence.
I’d really like to meet someone who’s interested in a Chinese–English language exchange here. My English is already pretty good, so I’m not really looking for formal lessons or grammar practice. I’d rather just write naturally, help each other with expressions and slang when needed, and learn more about how people actually speak and think in each language.
Specifically, I’m looking for someone to exchange emails with and hopefully build a long-term friendship. I prefer actual emails over instant messaging — longer messages, random thoughts, stories about everyday life, and no pressure to reply immediately. That said, if you strongly prefer using an instant messaging app, I’m fine with that too.
A bit about me: I’m really into photography, rock, rap and punk music, movies, and computer games. I also enjoy talking about technology, F1, cars and racing and relevant culture, internet culture, linguistics, memes, tv shows, board games, music scenes, university life, or just whatever strange topic comes up.
I’m open to people from anywhere in the world. I’m not expecting any kind of formal teaching. I’d prefer something platonic and long-term , someone who wants to improve together through regular conversations, with both of us helping each other along the way, rather than a few messages that disappear after a few days.
If any of this sounds interesting, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. If we get along, we can move to email.

I’m a 22 F university student , though I’m not learning Chinese anymore and actually came here to find a Japanese language buddy, I think this is such an awesome way to communicate with someone and would be happy to be your pen pal.
I am a native English speaker and like to write so this would be ideal for me because I have no one to write to and the idea of writing to a stranger is less intimidating.
I like to read, exercise, cook, bake, listen to podcasts , movies and music (I’ll listen to anything good, I’m open to any genre) and would be fine with emailing.

Hi, I don't know if you will find many English people around your age who want to communicate through email but I wish you all the best.
I'm planning on studying Chinese in a few years or I would have taken your exchange offer, currently looking for someone who speaks Japanese.
