I've added translations for "Chinese people" and "more", and I've also added two sentences, "I'll talk to you more tomorrow" and "He doesn't know how to speak Chinese".
It took me a really long time to record "I'll talk to you more tomorrow" because I kept getting hung up on the pronunciation of "mua(2) ki2"! I can say it find on its own, but I kept stumbling when saying it in that sentence and re-questioning what the tones are. But I had to stop eventually and just save something.

I've added more translations
- to arrive
- to stop
- to meet
I've also fixed the pengim for 乜 so it's "meh" instead of "mih", since that's the Gekion way of pronouncing it and I missed that when originally converting everything to Gekion. My audio clip hasn't changed since I was already pronouncing it that way.

I haven't added much in terms of new translations, but I did add a new lesson page that has all the different dialects that I know about. There's not really any information on how the dialects differ from each other, but maybe I'll get to that another day.
I've also added more information to the Tones lesson.

I have sooo many things I want to add to this site and my ideas are generated faster than I can implement them! I've been adding more issues to the github repo as I think of them. I think I want to add a page that has all of the different Teochew accents (that I know of). I feel like different sources list different subsets of accents and it's hard for me to keep them all straight in my head.
Anyway, I recorded a phone call with my aunt a while back and I've been listening to parts of it over and over and I'm trying to add more translations to the site. So here are some new ones:
- fake
- near
- to call out for someone
- to call (on the phone)
- to enter
- potato
- sweet potato
- America
