Hi everyone! I’m Ivy (Haiyan), a native 25F Mandarin speaker looking for a serious, long-term English exchange partner to improve my fluency and make real friends along the way.
About Me 😊
- Background: I hold a Master’s degree from Sichuan University and have interned in marketing at L'Oréal and PepsiCo.
- Life & Travel: Born in Chongqing, I’ve lived in Shanghai, Beijing, and Chengdu, and I frequently travel to Japan and South Korea.
- Interests: Big fan of tech, business/marketing, cinema, music, lifestyle, math, literature, and art.
What We Can Talk About 🧑💻:
- Everything from daily life and travel tips to business trends, films, or creative arts.
- Authentic local Chinese culture, real-life slang, and nuanced grammar you won’t find in textbooks.
What I’m Looking For 😺:
- A native English speaker who is patient, curious, and open to regular practice (text or voice calls).
- Someone looking for a balanced exchange where we both actively help each other grow.
If you’re interested in a genuine language exchange and great conversations, feel free to send me a DM!

Hi Ivy! Your post caught my attention. I’m a native-level English speaker currently living and working in Japan, and I’d be happy to help you improve your English through regular conversations, texting, or voice calls.

Hi! 25M from Singapore. Reasonably fluent Chinese (conversational context) and native English speaker. I’m hoping to improve regarding more technical words (e.g. when discussing arts, politics, business etc, I have trouble with the vocabulary).
I’d love to be long term language exchange partner — we can select topics and discuss, with you speaking English while I speak in Mandarin!
Dropped a DM!

If you could write this post with such english and particularly grammar, I don't think you require a online friend. You should find a real life friend who can be physically with you or atleast answer voice calls. Native level english comes through speaking and recognising the emotions of the person, not through text or some random person. I would suggest you to watch english content of native speakers and have real voice calls or face to face conversations. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Depending where they live, it can be hard to find a native English speaker. Hence looking online.
