A majestic view of a rain-laden cloud blasting hard. When many clouds gather in the sky in this way and their waters fall like this in the same place, here a phenomenon we call the Flood is formed.-

Hi! I absolutely adore your dragon art (and am quietly hoping for a book wyrm at some point, it’s my favourite nerd pun). Your calligraphy is super impressive too! I used to take Mandarin Chinese at school and was hoping to start learning it again. I think you mentioned you were learning too, and was hoping you might have some suggestions for good ways or apps/websites that are good for people just starting out? Thank you! And I’m looking forward to more wonderful noodles.

A very small orange dragon with brown horns wrapped around a large book, its body weaving in and out of the pages. It is looking at two pages of mostly illegible Chinese text taken from Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The dragon is wearing golden glasses and there is a small flame on one of its horns, lighting up the pages. The background is a dark blue. To the left is text that reads, vertically, "書呆虯 Bookwyrm"

#32 - 書呆虯 (shū dāi qiú / bookwyrm) - Shh! They've snuck into the library to read all night! 📚🕯️✨

This is the resource I'm using to learn writing/stroke order, they have practice sets in both traditional and simplified Chinese:

TOFU Learn: Learn vocabulary the easy way

Learn vocabulary efficiently and effortlessly using advanced flashcards. It’s convenient, it works, and it’s free.

I am already pretty fluent in spoken Mandarin and can recognize common written words, so I'm not sure how helpful this would be for a complete beginner, but it does include phonetics in pinyin and zhuyin as well as definitions. And it's free!

Here is a longer list of resources I found while looking for Chinese learning tools.

If anyone is also learning Chinese/Mandarin please feel free to reply with suggestions too :)

reminder that 30 isn’t old, it’s very normal to not accomplish everything in your 20s, and that it is never too late to learn that thing you’ve always wanted to learn. you’re always growing. that’s a good thing.
