Q&A follows each talk. 8:00 - 9:00 pm - Break into small Mandarin-speaking conversational groups 8:00 - 9:00 pm - Native Mandarin-speakers who want to practice English skills go to another room to practice English.

Strange meetup with a strange control freak organizer, M. Went a few times. M. likes to cross-post with other meetups, the other meetups don't like it. Results in getting way too many emails about the same meetup, or as M. likes to do, include other activities not related to learning mandarin. When I objected to him about how his crossposting results in my mailbox being flooded he removes me from the group. Anyway a few years back this was a popular meetup with up to 40 people attending. But due to their strange behavior they're lucky thet they get the few people they do. Also checkout their meetup page, M. talks about how other Mandarin groups like him or not. Weird.

I've been to this. It's ok. It's not a business or school. It's organized under meetup.com as Boston China Interest Network. Be advised the first review is not really a review per se, but is the self-promotion of the organizer.
