Offering: Chinese(native), English(fluent) | Seeking: English(native), Spanish(native) | slangs | friendship
Hi! I’m 24 male from China. Currently I’ve been in United States for two years but still find it hard to communicate with people who speak native English.
I can speak English fluently but the thing is: natives are kind of polite to me when they find me a foreigner and I never have a chance to understand the way they talk to their native friends. I don’t like this kind of double standards. It made me feel that I’m learning some ‘standard’ English which is not the way it should be used in daily life.
I’ve been a teaching assistant for Chinese courses in college. I have a passion to give an explanation of something which is unconsciously used but hard to explain to learner in grammar.
I hope to make a friend with a native so that I don’t need to take an ESL class again.

I’m a native English speaker. I’d love to learn some Chinese!
