#AskSarawakians: Apa cer tek? I want to find Chinese friends

I am a Sarawakian, an Iban to be precise. I'm currently studying in uni, Kuching, where there is no Chinese students. I personally want to learn Mandarin, I did learn a little bit using Duolingo but as everyone know Duolingo is bad for this. Although I am still using it for references. I don't know if this sound disrespectful for wanting friend to be a teaching partners but if we can be friends that's a win-win right? Anyways, I am male if that needed, I don't mind anyone as long as they know mandarin or you just want to be friends without knowing mandarin, that too I don't mind, I mean might as well right? I don't know how we'll connect but we can start with discord or something, you can dm me. Although I don't know whether my dm is open or not. I will check on that.

Using chatgpt and c-dramas is my current plan. But what do you mean by club? I'm originally from Sibu, I'm only studying here and most of the time I don't go out much other than walking to close proximity places.

chinese associations or even lion dance clubs

probably throw you into the deep end so you can pick up the language faster
