Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I’m learning Chinese, and would love to have some people to chat with. I’m not good, for sure, but I really enjoy it a lot!

你好叫我BartsBigBugBag!我是美国人,我是社会主义者。我明年希望去中国陆游。我是学生的汉语。你说汉语吗?你怎么样?你现在做什么?你明白我的汉语吗?谢谢你!

Should i use that style of question for any yes or no question? Like you did 有没有, I’ve also seen 是不是 and similar others also.

It's a way to turn any action into a question. It could be a more casual and informal, more endearing /soft way of questioning something (depending on the actual emotional tone you say it with, if course) .

看没看过?have...seen it? 吃没吃过?have... eaten it? 玩没玩过?have ... played it? 读没读过?have ... read it?

是不是 (很好玩)?isn't it (fun)? 好不好 isn't it good? 看不看xyz--do (you/we/they) wanna watch xyz? 知不知道xyz--do...know xyz?

Etc.
