Hi Crystal, thank you for your comment. LinguaMeeting does not offer Chinese unfortunately. While selecting a tool for my students to do virtual exchange, I did find that there are much more platforms offering Spanish, French and Italian. Each platform may have different features and price structure. Some may focus on a few most studied languages and others may offer conversations in a variety of languages including less commonly taught languages. If many platforms are available in the target language students are learning, we should definitely compare to select the most affordable one when the provided service fits the learning context well.]]></description>
