Forums > Study > Chinese Corner

Very strange to hear that Chinese Corner is old hat and not useful when you can just speak with locals.

Usually Chinese corners will have a topic to discuss and be lead by someone who knows what they are doing for example a teacher to prepare talking points and games.

Otherwise high level students take over the conversation.

Also just going out and talking is very different to a Chinese corner. You can't for example stipulate a word list, or topic for a conversation on the street and make the other party take on the responsibility of improving your Chinese level.

Anyway just my opinion that a Chinese corner can be useful for people learning Chinese

good luck to all students :D
