I want to learn Chinese by talking to China's locals. How do I do that online/elsewhere? I tried Red Note, but deleted it because TikTok-like platforms are super bad for me. (hexbear.net)

I'm from the US and can't travel atm.

Extra points if it helps me learn about Chinese culture.

BTW, is anyone else barely able to memorize anything from Duolingo?

Just did one lesson of Hello Chinese and you're right, it is better. I should probably get a screen pen for the app's Chinese characters to learn writing.
