🇨🇳 Chinese Study Hall & Language Exchange | 中文自习与交流

大家好！Hello everyone! 😊 We're introducing a new format for our Chinese Learning & Conversation Club: Chinese Study Hall & Language Exchange! These biweekly sessions are designed to give everyone dedicated time to work on their personal Chinese learning goals, share what they've learned, and practice with fellow learners in a relaxed, supportive environment.
