Q: Language exchange in Fuzhou?

Halo there, I'm a Chinese in Fuzhou, China. 
 

I'm looking to language exchange with a native English speaker, hoping to improve my English skill. 

If you speak native English and you are in Fuzhou, we may meet up and do some chatting in places like Starbucks, just like friends, we may talk about this city and hobbies etc. 

 

Actually, if you are not in Fuzhou, as long as you are interested in chatting in English or practising Chinese with me, we may set up a video/audio call through the internet. 
Please leave me a message here if you are interested. Thanks~

I suggest you don't say "if you speak native English"

 

ANY english speaker should be welcomed to help you practice your English.

icnif77:

That's the reason, IMO, for the demand for the native English speakers ...

 

'cause level of language is so low, only one's passport can convince them, they are taught the proper language.

 

If I step into their klompen, I would also have a doubts about Chinese language teacher from Korea ... or Dubai.

Indeed, there is nothing more fulfilling than being used as a vehicle for someone to practice English.

You'll get the sort of 'exchange' you're looking for on Tinder or TanTan.

A:Someone doesn't count ...  Potential employer/Z visa sponsor will tell you that.Never mind, I just point that out.Your previous working experience can be considered, but it should be at STEM or at least at English teaching.Now, if employer wants you really bad, they'll skip that part and proceed with 'Working Permit' application issued by the .gov.School must convince .gov to issue a Working Permit. Once you have that, you'll proceed with Z visa application at Chinese Embassy in your home country. The other matter you should consider is a Native English passport requirement.You can score Z visa as a non-native English teacher only if/when you hold a degree completed in a native English country (UK, USA, Canada, Ozz, New Zealand, S. Africa or Ireland, I think.) ... and many employers are not aware of that, so make sure, you point that out on your CV! ... if you hold BA from a native English country ... ... and if you don't hold BA degree completed in a native English country, you don't qualify for a Z visa, i.e. you can forget about legally working in China as a non-English native E.T..This is an old Chinese Labour law provision ... since 2009 or even earlier ... -- icnif77
