Have I mentioned here how much I love the All Set Learning Chinese Grammar Wiki? https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Main_Page

There is SO MUCH grammar here! It's categorised by HSK level *and* CEFR level, and then by parts of speech, grammatical structures and comparisons of similar grammar points. The explanations are clear and there are lots of examples. It's amazing!

#ZhangGongAn but mostly #ChineseLearning: it’s so satisfying to see patterns you just learnt in class in a real text. 😊

Excerpt of text in Chinese and then English. Wang Yan says, 人，一个都不能伤 (not even one person may be hurt).

Got spurred on to try new #ChineseLearning materials thanks to a conversation with @bookstardust, specifically listening, since that’s the hardest skill for me. I listened to three episodes of #ChinesePod while walking at lunchtime and it seems quite good so far.

The website is at https://www.chinesepod.com/ and they have a whole paid learning system, but you can listen to the audio lessons as a podcast, e.g. this one about Qingming: https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/chinesepod-beginner/id1489328856?i=1000634880831, https://www.chinesepod.com/lesson/tomb-sweeping-day

Remember that HSK I took? I PASSED!!! #exam #hsk #hskexam #test #chinese #chineselanguage #chineselearning #passed #passedthetest #relief #mandarin #putonghua #汉语 #水平 #考试 #普通话 #通过 #成功

Aaah, I’ve just found a new way to practice my Chinese! I downloaded this game ages ago: Teahouse of the Gods by Naca Rat, https://www.choiceofgames.com/teahouse/. Just started playing it and discovered you can set the Chinese dialogue to render in hanzi or pinyin, rather than English!

Splash image for Teahouse of the Gods. Two people take a selfie outside a teahouse surrounded by lush, green bamboo forest. In the foreground, a mysterious, silver-haired character smiles at the viewer.

Screenshot from the game, explaining that your response to the question, “Do you speak Chinese?” will determine the appearance of Chinese dialogue: Chinese characters, pinyin, or minimal Chinese text.

Screenshot from the game, where description is in English but the characters’ Chinese conversation is shown in hanzi.

Sometimes I question some of my decisions as a mom. My daughter (8) has learnt to talk back using Chinese idioms and I'm like 🤷‍♀️

I guess I should basically be happy I'm doing a good job?

Very much enjoyed today's #Chinese lesson! :blobaww:

A.o., I learnt 画 "huà" (to write; to draw; to paint // writing; drawing; painting) and 打 "dǎ" (to hit; to strike; to slap; to beat).

画 is a little landscape, the bottom of a mountain, then a (rice) field and the sky above. 🖼️ 👩‍🎨

Beating is using your hand 手 (丁 is for pronunciation), and can also be about martial arts, e.g. dǎ tàijíquán - "doing Tai Chi", or about fetching, e.g. dǎ shuǐ - "fetching water".

A Chinese textbook for children, with the characters for 画 "huà" (to write; to draw; to paint // writing; drawing; painting) and 打 "dǎ" (to hit; to strike; to slap; to beat).

Spending my morning in perfect bliss, learning (a bit about) #korean , #japanese and #chinese ... did six pages in total, finished chapter 1 of Marigoto A2 and followed my curiousity about the names of the days of the week. :blobcatsurprised:
