I come from Beijing China and live in Vancouver Canada now. I study English at the Douglass college in Coquitlam BC .My native language is Mandarin, I used to study English for several years in high school, and even got good grades on national exams. But one day, when I actually tried to speak the language, I suddenly realized.Four years of studying English in school, and I couldn't even order a meal.So when people try to learn to speak a language out of a book,you have to practice speaking. And if you want to speak a language rapidly, well, you have to start speaking. A lot.So my language exchange friend, you need me and I need you,let's go more in depth into each of these later on.
