Saturday Afternoon In-person Mandarin Conversation

A few of us will be getting together for a hangout at the Prudential Center, with the goal of practicing and improving our Mandarin in an informal group setting. We're offering this on a Saturday as a trial to give people a bit more schedule flexibility. Feel free to join in and leave when you need, there is no requirement to stay the whole time. We'll meet in the spot we've met in before, past the Shake Shack and the US post office, along the south garden windows. We are happy to welcome all learners, from those who are just starting to people who have been speaking for a decade or more and just want to keep their skills up or mentor other learners. Please sign up at the <a href="https://www.meetup.com/chinese-35/events/314159698/">event page</a> so we have some idea of numbers (Meetup account required). ---- Banner graphic courtesy of the <a href="https://www.prudentialcenter.com/map/">Prudential Center</a> website.

Online Language Learning through Song Sharing - Theme: Flowers

Words set to music give us the songs we know and love. Listen to a song, listen to it again, learn the words and the music. Find out what the song means. Memorize, and make it your own. Then share it with others, and pass it on. 歌词加上音乐，谱成了我们喜爱的歌曲。 好歌可以一听再听，学习歌词和曲调，挖掘出它的意义。把歌曲记到心里去，使它变成属于你自己的，然后跟大家分享。 We can learn language through song sharing. Let's get together online for an evening of song sharing and language learning. Each participant brings a song to share, and tells the group where and when they first heard the song, what it's about, who wrote it, and how it continues to inspire them. 我们通过分享歌曲能够学习语言。诚意邀请你来参加我们分享歌曲，学习语言的晚会。每位参与者选择一首想要分享的歌曲，给大家介绍一下自己如何接触到这首歌，以及歌词的意义，歌手是谁，歌曲带来什么启示。 This month's theme: Songs about Lunar New Year / Spring Festival OR songs about horses. 有关新年的歌曲 (农历新年均可), 或者有关马的歌曲 Watch2gether We will play songs on Watch2Gether. The W2G link will be provided once the Zoom meeting starts.

Boston Common Boba Tea Mandarin Walk

Let's meet up at Chinatown Gate on Beach Street, pick up boba tea from a nearby shop, then go for a long walk on Boston Common, loudly chatting in Mandarin. Afterwards, we can go to dinner together. So please bring cash to easily split the bill. 我们在波士顿唐人街华埠牌楼 "天下為公" / "禮義廉恥" 大字下聚集，到附近珍珠奶茶店买些好喝的，然后到波士顿公园一边散步，一边大声用中文聊天。完了可以一起去吃饭，所以请预备少量现金，以便分摊账单。 Please sign up at the <a href="https://www.meetup.com/chinese-35/events/307416979/">event page</a> so we have some idea of numbers (Meetup account required). ---- Photos courtesy of: Steven L.
