SUMMARY:[Casual] Mandarin Conversations - Metrotown Food Court
LOCATION:Metrotown Centre Food Court
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 4% · why: lots of 
 people going\n\nJoin us in-person on the 1st\, 3rd\, and 5th Wednesday of 
 the month 6-9pm for Casual Mandarin Conversations at Metrotown Food Court!
  Find us at the large round tables near the window side of the food court\
 , at the corner beside Burger King. Other Wednesdays of the month will be 
 virtual meetings on Zoom at the same time.\n\nThe casual conversation sess
 ion is a language and cultural exchange through engaging in conversations 
 in an informal\, open floor\, no structure\, friendly environment. During 
 each session\, members are encouraged to participate by using as much Chin
 ese as possible in their discussions. Native Chinese speakers are encourag
 ed to help others with pronunciation\, sentence structure\, and using prop
 er choice of words. Remember\, the best way to learn a language is to have
  friends that also speak the language!\n\nHowever\, if you are a complete 
 beginner of Chinese\, you may find it too overwhelming as most conversatio
 ns are in Chinese. You should have a basic level of listening before you j
 oin.\n\nRULES FOR MEETING\n\nTreat others with respect\, as attendees are 
 from all over the world with different backgrounds.\nDo not engage in sens
 itive topics unless if others are all comfortable with it. Keep it a casua
 l social conversation.\nRSVP if you are going to attend\, but cancel RSVP 
 if you cannot! Please respect others on the waiting list.\nIf you get lost
  or you're unable to find us\, please be patient! Walk around and try to l
 ocate us\, or leave a message in the comments section. Sometimes we have l
 ate comers so the group may seem smaller at first. We gather at the large 
 round tables near the window side of the food court.
