Hi, everyone. My name is Yi-Zhen. I'm from Taiwan. Currently living in the Netherlands and learning Dutch. I have started the Dutch course since this September. I would like to meet more local people whether on-line or in person to get to know this country and its customs. Likewise, i'm glad to help people with their Chinese. I'm looking for people who are willing to help me improving my Dutch, and i'll teach them Chinese in return if they like. Everyone is welcome to contact me for the purpose of Dutch and Chinese. If you're here to ask me to help with or practice English, i'm afraid i won't reply. My top priority is learning Dutch, i'm yoo busy learning Dutch so i don't have enough time for English learners. So I DONNOT exchange English, besides, i'm not a native speaker, so i'd politely ask you to find a better someone. Thanks for reading and good luck with your language learning. :)

    Wat betekent "met name" in het Nederlands? Wat betekent "met name" in het Nederlands? Bijvoorbeeld, Met name in Frankrijk erger ik me aan Nederlanders die groete en fruit stelen, gewoon van het boerenland. What does "met name" mean in Dutch? Could anyone explain me this? Thank you! :)

    Kerstmisdagen Deze donderdag was de laaste les in dit jaar van mijn Nederlands cursus. Wij hebben twee weken Kerstvakantie. In de cursus gaf de docent naar ons een Kerstmis chocola. Het was lekker. Hoewel ik twee weken vakantie heb, kreeg ik veel huiswerk van de docent. Daarom kan ik niet op Kerstvakantie lekker uitslapen, moet ik mijn huiswerk klaar maken. Ik vind de Kerstmis in Nederland heel leuk. In het begin van December zetten mensen mooie kerstverlichting aan en staden de kerstbomen in de huizen. In de supermarkt verkopen ze zeer verschillende chocolade. Kinderen worden gek als ze chocolade zien. Er standen ook veel olieballen kraampjes naast de winkel centrum. Ik vind de oliebollen heel lekker. Het is erg jammer dat ze alleen de oliebollen in December verkopen. Ik hoor dat Nederlanders ook konijntjes in Kerstdagen eten. Dat is een beetje eng. Kerstmis is het belangrijkste feest in Nederland, maar in mijn eigen land vieren minder mensen Kerstmis omdat het geen nationale feestdag is. Dus hebben we geen vakantie. Hier bijna alle mensen vieren Kerstmis, ook voor mensen die geen Christen zijn. Veel Nederlanders geven elkaar cadeautjes en sturen elkaar een kaart in de weken voor Kerstmis. De afgelopen dagen heb ik mij met kaartjes om te schrijven gebezigd. Wil iemand een kerstkaartje van mij ontvangen? Ik zal het in het Chinees en Nederlands scrijven. :D Als je een kaartje wilt ontvagen, stuurt je alsjeblieft een privéberichtje naar mij. ^^ Ik wens iedereen een fijne Kerst en een gelukkig nieuwjaar.

    @ AndreaA: Thank you. Wish you have a very Merry Christmas!

     

    @ Amanda: Thank you for the idea. That might help.

     

    @ Dorothy: You're a very heart-warming person. Thanks for giving me such an useful advice. Yes, i think that's a proper/polite way to ask people to understand my purpose of learning on this website. I'll definitely do so if it happens again. I actually feel unrespected if someone contact me without reading my "about me" section. (Because i did mention that i don't do language exchange in English.) At least i'd do it before contacting someone. But i know not everybody would do. 

     

    @ Allen: They are actually from all over. Those who wants to practice English with me are from Pakistan, Algeria, Morroco, Bangladesh, and many from Turkey. 其他只想聊天的我就直接忽略了。

    @ Johnn: Oh lets talk it clear. i don't see THEM as a problem. I see the APPEARANCE that "people wants to learn english but they come to me as a problem." I totally respect them that they put an effort on learning new languages, i just dont think im a good option. I never talk impolitely to them. So you don't need to be angry. ;)

    @ CHYL: I did say that i don't practice English with people in my long bio, i suppose they don't really pay attention on it.

     

    @ Haruka: Oh i didn't realize that i can change in setting. Thanks for the information. But im concerned if people need my help in Chinese then they can't really contact me, right?

     

    @ Berze: Yea, i understand your point. I've received some serious messages who need to interview foreign people for their work. In that case i'm willing to help. But others im not very sure why.

     

    @ Johnnn: Don't be so meany. I'm new to this website still seeing how it works. Probably they check my webiste and see im learning English. But i still don't see the relation between "i want to learn English" and "i want to help people with their English". If someone wants to improve their English, they should go to native speakers for help. That's more reasonable, isn't it? I'm not f***ing saying that im popular so everyone wants to message me. Can't i just ask why? And sorry, i don't find my profile picture CUTE or BEUTIFUL or whatever. That's just how i look.


    @ Camilo: Definitely. You've got my point!

    Just wondering...why do people want to practice English with me?

    First of all, I'm not an English speaker. My mother tongue is Chinese and i'm learning Dutch. I use this webstite less than two weeks, but i've already got many messages from people over the world who want to practice English with me. It's quite strange that they find a non-native speaker to practice with. Isn't it odd to ask a Chinese speaker to help their English? Besides, my English isn't perfect. Does it happen to everybody? I don't know how to solve this problem. :/

     

    btw, anyone wanna improve their Chinese? I'm here! haha
