跟父母抱抱 我很小时候经常跟父母搂抱，不过在长大成人过程中开始对他们搂抱越来越少。 但是现在成人了，发现自己又开始欣赏这个动作，开始找机会跟父母表示热情。其实跟小时候的感觉不是一切不一样！

Seeking virtual study buddy for HSK 4 prep <style type="text/css"> p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 20.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #262626} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 20.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; color: #262626; min-height: 16.0px} </style>

I'm taking the HSK 4 on 2/12/2017 and will need to immerse myself as much as possible in the eight weeks remaining.

And so I'm looking for another English speaker studying simplified Mandarin Chinese who is at a similar level (HSK 3-5).  It's an ambitious goal for me, so I'm looking for someone equally dedicated and motivated.

If you think you might be that someone, please send me a message and tell me about your own goals, and I'll say more about my game.

Thanks!

Virtual Study Group

Hi folks!

I’m starting a virtual study group to have four Chinese speakers and four English speakers team up to accelerate each other's’ language study. It's an experimental game and goes from now until February 17th, 2017.

I'm doing this because I noticed even with great resources like iTalki, I lacked the social accountability and support to keep studying.  I eventually lost momentum and stopped.  Having the support of a dedicated team could make the biggest difference, I think.  So I created this game.

Participation Requirements:

<ul style="margin: 0.357143em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.42857em;">

Fluency (written and spoken) in either American English or Mandarin Chinese (simplified writing system)

</li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.42857em;">

Able and willing to support other participants in learning your language of expertise. This can look a lot of ways--1-on-1 coaching, language exchange Skype calls, written feedback on their writing practice, suggesting online resources for studying--lots of room to be creative here, it’s the willingness that counts.

</li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.42857em;">

Able and willing to dedicate at least 30 minutes of active study 5 days a week. For example, watching TV is not active study, unless you’re pausing the video and taking notes to actively engage with the material.  This is for serious learners!

</li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.42857em;">

Able and willing to have a 30 minute weekly phone call with other participants to adjust and calibrate our study plans based on feedback.

</li></ul>

To apply: Direct message me for further instructions.

If you know someone who may be interested, please forward this along!
