About German for Chinese speakers
German is written in the Latin alphabet; Chinese uses Chinese characters. Chatting in writing is a good way to get used to a new script, because you can take your time with every message.
German is related to Afrikaans, Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian Bokmål.
How the exchange works
- Say what you speak and what you're learning. Talkabout shows you people who speak German natively and are learning Chinese.
- Write to someone. Take turns: some messages in German, some in Chinese, so you both get to practise.
- Fix each other's messages. Suggest a correction on any message and your partner sees exactly what changed. You choose how much you want corrected.
Safe by default
Talkabout is for adults only. Photos and contact details unlock only after you've both written to each other, nobody can flood your inbox, and favourites stay private unless you both choose each other.
You can block or report anyone from the chat. Everyone agrees to the community guidelines, and moderators tell you which rule was broken when they act on a report.
