玩玩
Kind of a random song today--I don't know how I arrived at it and I don't recognize either the song or the singer, but I like it: 如燕 covered by 朱兴东.

事务

Since you're asking for dictionary sites in the sticky post, the one I usually use is MDBG:
https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary

And on mobile, the dictionary app I use is Pleco:

I do like the mdbg.net dictionary - I have gotten very good at drawing unknown characters from TV subtitles with a mouse. :)

I'm terrible at that; I usually rely on the character components for unfamiliar characters.

Not a song rec this week, but I just watched AvenueX's video about music notation on the qin and found it fascinating: here.

Because I've got it stuck in my head from talking with [personal profile] elenothar: 无限 by (of course) Zhou Shen, especially in the live version!

Also, 母亲节快乐~ (albeit belatedly, in this end of Time)

For dictionaries, I actually like the default ones available in the Mac inbuilt dictionary app, both ZH/EN and ZH/ZH! Everything else I just pull off good ol' Google with relevant search terms added.

From: [personal profile] sakana17
[twitter.com profile] wenella posted new photos from Zhu Yilong's studio, and in the one where he's eating noodles, I could read all but one word (the word for "garlic"), which made me feel "yay! progress!" - except I didn't correctly guess the meaning of the sentence. -_- Oh, well!

I like how the garlic one rhymes!

Transcripts in order because why not:

哈喽

吃面不吃蒜
香味少一半

拥抱自然

Thanks for the transcript, because I could not read that handwriting!

Also, that's not the word I've learned for garlic, interesting!

Now that I'm thinking/looking at it harder, I think I have the same experience you do, 大蒜, but I'm just not familiar enough with it (I've only seen it in my Drops app!) to recognize it as the same character without the 大 in front of it!

Now that actually writing stuff doesn't happen anymore, I'm half convinced the real benefit of familiarity with stroke order is the fact that it does help when trying to decipher handwriting…

From: [personal profile] sakana17
Thank you so much for the transcripts!

Awwww, I hadn't come across 哈喽 before.

ETA: Yeah, I was *never* going to get 然 from the handwriting. :D Thank you again!

Haha, yeah, this 然 is definitely a case of "I can read what it says because I guessed what it probably was anyway" XD

The dictionary site I use is https://dictionary.hantrainerpro.com/

I've just started on ChineSimple's HSK1 Learn Chinese app but it has a lot of different things - word games, sentence games, stories, flashcards etc. And for people with much greater skill than I the developer offers HSK2-5 as well.
