| | | Looking for Chinese language exchange [with french or english]
Hi,
I am a 30 years old french guy living and working between Geneva and Lausanne.
I recently started to learn Mandarin and would be interested to start a language exchange with a native speaker. I can offer French or English in exchange. I would be interested in going anywhere between Geneva and Lausanne.
Please contact me if interested.
Thanks
Xavier

indeed, chinese is difficult, but i've met many non-asians who do admirably, and you could well be a natural talent 
i'm pretty sure there are many chinese in the geneva/lausanne area, and you'd find a partner/in soon. if not, you can try here http://www.chinese-tools.com/club good luck!

I speak native, but handwriting sucks, reading so so.
