Mandarin Chinese Weblog

It’s been a while since I’ve found an exciting new Chinese learning tool that I think is useful, fun, exciting, welldone, etc.

Check out Skritter.com.  The tools is aimed to help you more quickly learn new characters and words.  According to their website “Skritter is free for now, during our beta test stage. After release, there will be affordable monthly subscription fees, with a free trial period.”

I’ve played with it for about 25 minutes and found it to be pretty good.   They’re in beta now, so maybe if you give them a hand with testing, feedback, they might be nice enough to give you a free account once they go into “subscription mode.”
