Can you speak Chinese already or planning on learning it after selection?

You don't need to know chinese to volunteer... you can just list all the languages you know and how well.

I am planning to take it in 4B, but I don't think I would learn enough to help.

According to their basic requirements for overseas volunteers, you need to at least be able to engage in conversations in elementary Chinese:

Wow, I can't believe I didn't notice that. :P

Oh well... it's too bad, because I'll most likely know some by then. But even if I don't get selected, I'm going to go to watch anyways.
