How do I say "I want to only speak in Chinese" in Chinese (Mandarin)? When i talk to language partners and it is my allocated time to speak in Chinese as soon as i struggle a little bit, some of my partners will just revert back to English so I don't get to practice. If I can say "I want to only speak in Chinese" then I can have my allocated 15 minutes all in Chinese

我只想说中文。wǒ zhí xiǎng shuō zhōng wén But it sounds a little bit blunt. You can be more tactful by saying 我可以只说中文吗？我想多练习练习 wǒ kě yǐ zhǐ shuō zhōng wén ma, wǒ xiǎng duō liàn xí liàn xí. (Can I only speak Chinese? I'd like to practice more.) I can only Chinese with you, if you'd love to.

假如對方是 John，你可以說：嗨，Hi，這段時間是中文對話；我希望我們只說中文。 Let's say your partner named John, you could say.. Hi, John, it's Chinese speaking time, could we just talk in Chinese?
