This is what I post to welcome people to the Seattle Mandarin Meetup.

What should I change? What can I make better? Should I omit stuff?

I'm checking to see if this wiki supports sub pages... I am guessing it does not... and I just created a big page... wait... there is a backlink to my user page :) We can haz SubPages!

Welcome to the Seattle Mandarin Meetup! Additional Questions: What days work best for you? Which Seattle-area neighborhood is convinient? Favorite curriculum? Our Events: Most of our events have been at public places, and are informal consisting of intermediate to advanced learners with curious native speakers chatting over a snack such as bubble tea. Structure may vary by host. We also list some events for CISC ESL classes. This is a good way to meet native speakers. We may also coordinate to watch a Chinese Language movie, attend a performance or do other events. Attending Events: If no theme is mentioned, you may wish to bring study materials or games you would like to try. If there is a theme, there may be some content to review. Speaking Mandarin and limiting English use are expected. If your level is low, you are still welcomed--asking questions and listening is generally appropriate. If your level is high, you may expect to accomodate lower level participants. Please be prepaired to purchase items from the host business. It is appreciated to sign up for the events rather than just showing up. Attendance draws more attendance, which is great for interesting conversations. Also it may help us not overwhelm the businesses that we meet at, and allow for some gate keeping. Hosting Events: We have a history of allowing members to host events! Please start discussions to share suggestions for meetups such as time place and topic, messaging the organizers is also acceptable. I aim to make themes or topics for events that I host. Such as review an app or a poem or article together. Community: There is another good meetup targeting beginners that meets about once a month, and another language exchange that hasn't returned inquerries. We welcome people who have an identifiable profile pictures. Questions and Concerns: Please message the organizers by meetup app with any questions or concerns. I would like to know Organization: Young is the primary organizer. He has allowed me to help accept new members and create events, but we have little formal agreement. This meetup costs money to exist, but has been free of charge to attendies and hosts. Technology: I find the meetup app to be convinient. I suspect that the number of notifications may be annoying. You may adjust notifications in the meetup app. There is a WeChat group and facebook group and wiki page for us under http://seattlepolyglots.fandom.com/mandarin --Aaron Peterson an Assitant Organizer, Seattle Mandarin Meetup. My interest in this group is networking, languages in general, and learning how to organize events and people. I studied Chinese in college, and retook the course again at a community college I have been to China twice. I am studying hsk3. Du Chinese app and Mandarin Corner youtube. I also seek events for immersion practice. I now have a large beard, but my profile picture is of me. I have Wechat and Facebook. I can be found with my phone number. 206 334 5925 myusualnickname@gmail.com
