The situation

You would like an ongoing Chinese friend, rather than another feed to scroll. A video conversation can start with a simple topic: what you cooked, a film you enjoyed or a question about life in China.

What a session could look like

  1. Tell us your interests, preferred language, time zone and availability. Agree a suitable person, call length, frequency and contact channel before joining.

  2. Meet by voice or video at the arranged time. Share stories, ask questions and practise everyday Chinese at a pace that feels comfortable.

  3. Choose a topic for the next conversation and confirm the next time. If either person needs to reschedule, follow the arrangements agreed together.

What you can take away

  • Real-person conversation at the agreed frequency and duration.
  • A window into daily life and cultural exchange shaped by shared interests.
  • A contact channel and next meeting time agreed with your ChinaMate. Calls are not recorded without consent.
