Philadelphia Chinese Language Meetup Holds All-Levels Mandarin Conversation Night on November 5
In Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Chinese Language Meetup Group will hold a Mandarin conversation night on Thursday, November 5, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Eastern, offering local Chinese residents and Mandarin learners a place to practice speaking.
According to the group's Meetup event page, the session is billed as "casual conversation - all levels." It is not a class and does not replace classroom study; participants practice, through open conversation, Mandarin speaking skills acquired elsewhere, and learners of any level are welcome.
The group was founded on Meetup in 2005 and lists 1,037 members, with an average event rating of 4.68 from 594 ratings. Penn State's Chinese language teacher network, CLTNet of Pennsylvania, also lists the group as a place to practice Mandarin regardless of proficiency level.
The group is private and new members need approval to join; the street address is shown only to members who join and RSVP. Later sessions are listed for Wednesdays November 18, December 2, December 16 and December 30, also at 6:30 p.m.
