Comment on Show HN: Mandarin Melon – A webapp for learning Chinese by reading social media

Comments

Nice job. I picked up a fair amount of Chinese when I was first learning it using the popular PTT Bulletin board system (批踢踢實業坊) in Taiwan, so it's a great way to learn.

As far as the sentences by HSK level - I did something similar using Tatoeba [1], scraping all the Chinese/English pairs, matching them by HSK level (technically TOCFL level) and adding them to related Anki vocab cards back in the day. Can confirm it works quite well.

Thanks for the kind words! I hadn't heard of tatoeba before, so thanks for sharing that as well.
