Want to learn Chinese?
I've started an earlier conversation to get people who want to learn Chinese together. You can find the topic here.
We had a number of people interested already and some Chinese speakers offered to teach as well. The more people we can get the better.
Interested so far:
aucklander: Is a chinese speaker who offered to help.

I'm teaching Chinese(Mandarin), I'm from Beijing and Native Mandarin speaker. I can teach in English and in French. You may contact me by [email protected]
I'm available on Sun, Mon, Wed, Thu from 8am--3pm, Tue: 8am--11:30pm.
Would it be too late to join?
i only can do in the afternoon after hubby back from work. Preferable after 4.30pm, depend where the location is. As you know the traffic nowadays is really bad. I live somewhere on the muntaza signal.
Thank you all for your response, I wanted to wait to get as much people as possible, i think we've reached the limit.
I think we're ready to start, so how do you think we should start?
I think we should start with a meeting to goals of everyone so everyone benefits. We can also discuss schedules and the resources.
I'm hear from all of you and talk to you soon.
We can meet, just email to me at: [email protected].

Lets discuss the format. I would suggest that we all use the same material such as http://www.melnyks.com/ podcast. You can download written material and audio from the site. Every week, we meet once with our chinese friends here in Doha and get their guidance in listening speaking and so on. If we later agree to increase the number of meeting or accelerate that OK too.
Let me know what you guys think in terms of format or meeting times ... etc.
Regards,
When the course will be organised, I will be very happy to teach you guys about my language and culture.
Ni how.
Count me in, I would like to improve my Mandarin.
We will be arriving into Doha end of August.
