Looking For Friends Who Are Willing To Exchange Languages(Chinese&English) Learning!!!!! Hi, I'm Ben. I just graduated from a university in China last year. After working in a German-funded company in Shanghai for a year, I decided to study abroad. Now I am preparing for IELTS, but speaking and writing are more effective in communication, so I am looking for friends who are willing to exchange languages with me. If you seem to want to learn Chinese, I think we can learn from each other, I can teach you Chinese, from pronunciation and writing to listening and speaking, I can give you effective advice. At the same time, I hope you can teach me English, I am not good at English speaking, listening and writing. Looking forward to making new friends! Please contact me!

We share many everyday experiences throughout history as a human race. In the process, we have also ingrained many things in our words through common sense and the natural course of evolution of the language. Though, this is not an argument for the universality of the languages in the world. Do you have any surprising discoveries in learning a new language compared to your native tongue?
