Taiwanese calligrapher Shao Lan uses a pictorial and story-telling approach to teach Chinese characters. Her website, Chineasy, is fantastic: when you click on a character, related and more complex characters appear. This will be one of many resources that I’ll use when I start learning Chinese characters next month. (For now: speaking and pronunciation practice). 

Learn more about her project by reading The World of Chinese’s review or visiting her website. 

Images: screenshots from Chineasy. 

Also works for Japanese! At least some of them…

I’m in the middle of an interrogation.

“What I did was in the name of peace and sanity.”
“I know. But not in the name of the Doctor.”

Guys. It’s not 12. It’s 8.5. 11 knows who this is. It’s gotta be the Doctor who ended the time war. The disowned Doctor because he committed the acts that scarred 9 and 10 so deeply.

Also. John Hurt + Matt Smith = John Smith. 

^ THIS IS WHAT IM SAYIN.

I KNO DIS.
