Talking My Cantonese for your English

Hi!
I'm a local, and have recently come back to HK after working in Shanghai for 3 years. Studied in UK for 2 years a long time ago. Think I almost forget my English. Anyone would like to help on improving my conversational English? You will get to practice Cantonese in return.
Cheers.

A Chinese Malaysian guy, speaks ok cantonese but wants to practice Mandarin. Seeing you worked in SH, is your Mandarin relatively good? I work at Times Square, Causeway Bay and live at Bel-Air, Cyberport. Where are you located?

accent

Hi Wholsome,
I think my Mandarin is relatively better and is ok in pinyin, but I still have an accent. Mandarin is not my native language after all. I'm interested in tutoring people in Mandarin, but think I can only help those who have only a rudimentary grasp of the language. Not sure if I'm qualified to tutor you....

I'm just looking to learn conversational Mandarin and my English is pretty good. My cantonese is enough to get by in HK, but still not great.

Hi Cucumber, I'm pretty fluent in Cantonese (spoken), though I don't know the slangs, native english speaker, I know the basics in mandarin, I'm talking pre-school.. I only know bo, po, mo, fo, gee, chee, shee, dur, tur, nur, hur, and I'm able to mumble a few words) think we can exchange languages?

ni hao...
