My 7 year old speaks Chinese and I am sure he would love to practice sometime on Raidcall.

Sorry I am not a native speaker, I am just looking for someone to speak Chinese with. But if you don't mind then sure. Do you speak it?

The only word I know in Chinese is, "Thank You".

My ex is Chinese, and our daughter is "half Chinese and half Californian" according to her.  ;)

I don't speak Chinese, just English and Russian but we have my son in a Chinese Immersion school.  8 years old and he is fluent in English, Russian and getting pretty darn good with Mandarin as well.

I took Chinese for five years in college, and have visited China, but it's been a few(9) years since then. :)

I studied abroad in Hong Kong my second year of college, so I only had 3 Chinese classes in at that point. The exchange program was to a university that taught in English. And Hong Kong speaks Cantonese, while I was learning Mandarin. But I did spend a week in Beijing and a few days in Guilin/Yangshua/Shenzen, practicing my Mandarin. 

As far as how good...well, Chinese is such a difficult language. I almost made it a minor, where I would have had to write a thesis and defend it orally, but it was just too much work my senior year with senior projects going on in my major (Information Systems). By the fifth year I was up to maybe 700 Chinese characters, and you need around 2000-3000 characters to read a newspaper. I had a better verbal vocabulary. I would say I was getting close to fluent, but not quite there. And at this point I've forgotten a lot of it, though it does come back to me when I hear it.
