Hello everyone, it's great to see you here. I've always believed that language is more than just a tool for communication; it carries a culture's memories, emotions, and values. Through language, we discover not only new people but also new selves. I'm a Chinese-Filipino, born and raised in Manila. My father is from China, my mother is from the Philippines, so I grew up surrounded by two distinct yet harmoniously coexisting cultures. From a young age, I was surrounded by multiple languages: English at school, Tagalog in daily life, and a little Chinese at home. Over time, English and Tagalog became my strongest languages, while my Mandarin remained distant, like a voice I could understand but not fully respond to. Now that I'm in the United States, I'm increasingly eager to reconnect with that part of myself. My father's culture, his stories, and the language that shaped his world—all of these are like a bridge I want to cross. I plan to visit his hometown in China one day, not just as a tourist, but as someone who truly understands the meaning of every word there. That's why I'm here. I want to improve my Mandarin. Not only academically, but also emotionally, through genuine exchanges with those who deeply understand Filipino culture. In return, I'm more than happy to help others practice their English or Tagalog and share the warmth, humor, and kindness of Filipino culture. I may still be a beginner in conversational Mandarin, but I believe language communication isn't about perfection, but about connection, patience, and a willingness to grow together. Thank you for reading my story. I hope that through this platform, we can learn from each other, share our cultures, and even become good friends. 🌸 大家好，很高兴在这里见到你们。我一直相信，语言不仅仅是沟通的工具，它承载着一种文化的记忆，情感和价值观。通过语言，我们不仅能发现新的人，也能发现新的自我。我是一名菲律宾华裔，在马尼拉出生长大。我的父亲来自中国，母亲来自菲律宾，所以我在两种截然不同却又和谐共存的文化中长大。从小我就被多种语言包围着，在学校说英语，在日常生活中说他加禄语，在家里也说一点中文。随着时间的推移，英语和他加禄语成了我最强的语言，而我的普通话却依然遥不可及，就像一个我能听懂却无法完全回应的声音。如今我身处美国，越来越渴望重新连接那部分自我。父亲的文化，他的故事，以及塑造他世界的语言，所有这些都像一座我想要跨越的桥梁。我计划有一天去他在中国的老家，不仅仅是以一个旅行者的身份，而是一个真正理解那里每一句话含义的人。这就是我来这里的原因。我想提高我的普通话水平。不仅在学术上，更在情感上，通过与那些深谙菲律宾文化的人进行真正的交流。作为回报，我非常乐意帮助其他人练习英语或他加禄语，并分享菲律宾文化的温暖、幽默和善良。我可能仍然是普通话会话的初学者，但我相信语言交流并不在于完美，而在于联系、耐心和共同成长的意愿。感谢您阅读我的故事。我希望通过这个平台，我们能够互相学习，分享我们的文化，甚至成为好朋友。🌸
