Hey everyone,

I am Chinese just arrived in Zurich after lived and studied in Amsterdam for 6 years. I also worked in marketing of electronic component industry in China (Qingdao and Shanghai) for few years before. I wonder if anyone interested in mandarin or Chinese calture?
I like sports a lot, such as swimming, hiking, dancing, yoga...
I would like to practice German or improve my English too

I am looking froward to hear from you!

Welcome to the Forum.

You mention Mandarin and practicing German and English. For this, we have a tandem thread in the Language Corner which you could look through to see if you can find someone to 'pair' with you. If not, try putting your own details in there, in the same form as the others. You might find a partner that way. For paying lessons in German there are several threads too.

Hope you settle in well.

Hi Xinyan. Nice to meet you.

,hi ,welcome to zurich

Hi Xinyan,

Welcome to Zurich!

I am interested in Chinese culture and actually go to China for the 2nd time next month!

I would love to learn some Mandarin, I fighting German at the moment so have not been able to look into this much.

One thing I am into learning is Chinese cooking.

Zurich is a great place for sports, you will see plenty of Yoga and fitness/dance places about, swimming is around as well with the lake always as an option Hiking is also great, I can't wait for summer to go exploring myself!

PM me to discuss if you would like some to me and maybe I can help with your English and you can teach me a few useful words for my trip.
