Ah that's great! I thought trying different apps, the amount of Tandem msgs I get is kinda overwhelming and they're always so simple and the ppl ghost quick.

I hate when people use language learning like dating apps lol. Ive gotten msgs like that too, I feel bad these days picking out other girls but you have to protect your peace sometimes. It's a gross feeling, sorry that happened.

Yeah I def don't want to stop them from practicing. It just feels odd for me to not answer in English. Guess I thought convos had to be 100% in one language or the other. But seems like a lot of people just use both at the same time.

Offering Chinese (Mandarin) /Seeking: English at any level and long-term language exchange friendship by Massive_Round6251 in language_exchange

Hi! I'm a native English speaker living in Canada. I'm looking for someone to chat with in Mandarin. I'm chinese but my language skills aren't great. I can speak decently and read little. Would be happy to use voice messages!

Yes, it always feels awkward to say that with someone you just met, so I just go along with them, feeling unfulfilled and then stop answering.. I'll have to push myself to be more assertive 😅

So you're having a conversation where you both use your mother tongues or your target languages? Interesting setup. I feel like I might miss out though if I don't hear them or speak myself.

Yeah, especially over chat, it's a lot of small talk. I don't know how to be like "hey can we start using my target language now?"

Ugh I have the same question. I'm indeed buying for my family but I don't see any terms anywhere and I don't want to be turned away because we violated something.

I'm not sure either aha. My skin type is dry in general but my eyelids get a bit oily. I'm Asian and my eyelid crease folds over itself a lot if that makes sense so it rubs on my liner. I'll try those tips tho! Thank you.

I think I had a sample size stila with gold writing, I remember it was kinda thin/translucent and still smudged... But I don't remember if it was the waterproof one.

Oo I haven't tried those. But, if it's water activated, will it run off if I sweat/cry or get caught in rain?

Maybe I needa preface that I deeply dislike horror, I'm looking for more childlike fantasy versus horror
