I'll start.... I'm a full-time graduate student in the Computational Science department. I don't take any Chinese classes, since I already have more than enough on my plate here at CPod. Although, I imagine this may contribute to my lack of knowledge of written Chinese in comparison to my abilities in spoken Mandarin.

Actually it's good timing for you or anyone else to reply to this message. I just joined a newly formed club "Silk Road Culture Club" We meet Tuesday nights, 5:30 to 6:30 in the bottom floor of SUB 1, to practice speaking Chinese. I think any local Chinese learner would be welcome. Many of the people involved are actually Chinese language teachers, so it's a really good opportunity for us learners. There's a facebook group you can join, with the above name, if you want more information.

July 05, 2009, 01:30 AMHi andrew_c. Do you guys still have the Silk Road Culture Club on Tuesdays at George Mason? I'm not sure if I can do it right now, but if it's ongoing, I might be able to adjust my schedule so that I can attend some of the get togethers, if it's allowed. I'm not a student at the university--although I do go there often to practice martial arts.
Is the group very large and is it primarily for speaking Chinese?

February 08, 2009, 03:57 AMHi Andrew,
I'm not a student, I just live nearby GMU. I'm taking a Chinese class from Fairfax County (Adult Ed), and I've taken a beginning class from NVCC. Other than that, it's just CP (newbie and elementary).
