April update (1)
Apr. 4th, 2020 11:32 pm你好四月!
We are moving along. Thank you very much, people who have signed up to do some things; please go at your own pace and comment here any time with questions or concerns. Anybody else, please feel free to do so also :)
I have been very slowly applying the HSK beginner-list words to the SW/ZYL script. (Strictly speaking I suppose it's a ZYL/BY script, containing Ye Zun et al. as it does. Ye Zun has quite a lot to say, doesn't he?). Some words fit nicely into immediately memorable lines, while others are not present in the script at all (apparently there are no seasons in Dragon City, and not much in the way of sports or the arts, and also neither Shen Wei or Zhao Yunlan ever takes or refers to public transportation). Compensating with some words that, while not in the beginner-level list, seem useful to have. I'm about half to a third done, and once the word list by episode is done, we can start making practice problems.
・To that end, if you have a favorite line, or a bunch of favorite lines, please comment with them here! Lines not spoken by Shen Wei or Zhao Yunlan also very welcome.
・fan, once I actually have some practice problems in hand I will contact you about Chinese checking. Your patience is appreciated...
・tinny, thank you again for the Anki card. I was a bit out of it this week but have finally managed to download Anki and figure out how to add cards to this deck; what I haven't worked out yet is how to change the appearance, add the pinyin line, etc., but I will try.
Thanks, everyone, for your patience with my very inefficient approach to this so far. 一直努力吧 :)
