nnozomiJust a couple of quick things.
・solo and a couple of other people asked if there were tasks people not confident in their Chinese which certainly includes me too could take on. One thing I thought of was coming up with some beginner-level practice sentences (in English) spoken by or about the Guardian characters etc.--"I have a black cat. He likes fish," "My favorite color is purple," "I am thirty-two years old" (and/or "I am ten thousand years old"), "My girlfriend likes flowers," "She lives with her grandmother," "They are students at Dragon City University," etc etc. Using these and their Chinese equivalents would allow some Guardian-related practice while not delving too deeply into the native-speaker level content of the actual script. I don't know; what do you think?
・tinny, thank you SO MUCH for the patient Anki support. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get to grips with this, but I think I've got it! I was able to download Anki okay on Windows, but got stuck at the new-card stage, finding it unintuitive. However, thanks to your hints I have finally figured out how to copy your template and make new cards with hanzi, pinyin, and English! I think the next step is to work out how to import a file and make a bunch of cards at a go (that is possible, right?). During my Ankiphobia I've been working on creating an episode-based word list, so I will try to figure it out by the time I have that finalized.
・Edited once again for practical reasons; thank you, people working on transcriptions.
I've slightly updated the GoogleDocs as well; let me know if anything comes up, and be safe.
