我想開一個群組～講中文版。
我在想一定會有很多永久住在台灣的外國人（有白人也包含別的種族）有誰跟我一樣，學到還不錯的程度，但還覺得大部分的人還期待我們應該用英文溝通（尤其是白人外國人），或者在溝通中被忽略及避免和你對話。結果不能擁有正常的日常對話，而這些內容是可以應對的。對我自已來講，跟人聚一聚，不被迫說英語，甚至不去假設我的亞洲朋友們是我的翻譯，感覺就會舒服多了。
所以這個群組的概念很簡單～相遇，互相認識和用中文聊天。群組當然開放對所有的種族、國籍、歲數等等，當然也歡迎台灣人來參加。不過我要求人對中文有足夠的知識，程度夠高可以用中文交談。我建議至少把實用視聽華語的第4本學完（大部分的華語課在台灣用這個系列的書），或者有學習近似同樣程度的詞匯跟文法。
第一次我們可以在咖啡店什麼的見面。聚在一起的時候，我們可以討論給推薦第二次的地點。
隨意對我或對群組問任何你想問的問題。
用中文或英文回應都行。
期待這樣的嘗試，可以遇見其他在台灣生活、工作及學習中文的人！

I want to start a social outings group – in Chinese.
I’m thinking that there must be a lot of long-term foreigners here (white or otherwise), like me, that have gotten their Chinese proficiency up to a decent level, but still feel most people expect them to speak in English (especially the white foreigners), or are somewhat avoided in conversations. I think for some, although in a Chinese speaking country, the reality seems to be that it’s hard to get the immersion
they know is needed/that they can handle at this point. I know for myself, it would be far more comfortable to meet up with people without having English forced my way, or having every Asian-faced friend seen as being my translator.
So the concept of this group is simple – meet up and hang out in Chinese. The group is of course open to Mandarin speaking Taiwanese people, and anybody else with a decent level of Mandarin. I do have to ask however, that people have a good working knowledge of Chinese and are at a high enough level to be able to have conversations. I’m thinking having at least finished studying Book 4 of the Practical Audio-Visual Chinese textbooks (實用視聽華語4) that most Chinese courses in Taiwan use, or are at an approximately equivalent vocabulary and grammar proficiency level.
For the first time, let’s meet up at a coffee & sandwiches/pie kinda place, and make suggestions for the next meet up.
Ask away with any questions about me or the group. Responding in Chinese and/or English is all okay.
Look forward to giving this a try, and meeting other Chinese studiers living/working/studying here!
