Profile
Raised in the United States since I was 3 years old and born in Hong Kong. My English is perfect and I am looking for regular friends to practice Mandarin with. I have been doing 1 on 1 tutoring 4-5 days a week for the last 9 months. However, I feel I can improve further by talking to other native speakers. I am also willing to introduce you to other English speakers. I like to travel, try new restaurants, shoot pool, and exercise.

    Looking for Korean / English Exchange Hey guys - I'm a native English speaker living in Shanghai looking for native Korean speakers.  I teach social and can also teach professional English.  Would anyone be interested in exchanging?  I'm also happy to pay for Korean lessons if you have experience teaching.

    Hello Everyone.

    Here are some variations that I use:

    If doing very good:
    "I'm doing great."
    "Things are excellent."
    "Fantastic."

    If just average:
    "Not bad."
    "Things are okay."
    "Things could be worse."

    I hope this helps!

    Reason + Polite Request + Thanking other person. "I'm on the phone" + "Would you mind lowering your voice just a little bit?" + "I'd really appreciate it". Hope that helps.

    I usually use "I'd like" when it's a softer context. For example: If asking someone else to do something or if someone else is involved in the desired outcome: "I'd like to work with you" "I'd like you to help me with this project" "I'd like some more water" Versus: "I want to eat fish" "I want to go on vacation" "I want to buy this magazine" I hope that helps.
