Two updates in one day?! Well, the last update was really yesterday's, I just happened to publish it after midnight.

Just a few quick things today:

  • I reordered the flashcard Word categories so Basics is at the top
  • I renamed Phrases to Sentences because...I'm expecting to add some phrases to the "words" section later
  • I added two sentences: "Do you have free time?" and "I'm busy"

I've reviewed all the words! Are there some audio clips that I think could be better? Yes, but I don't want to get too hung up on that.

I did some reorganizing too. There's a new flashcard category called Basics. These words used to be under Miscellaneous, but I think these deserve their own category. I also moved some of the miscellaneous words to other categories and created a Bathroom section in the Around the House words.

I've unhid a few words, and I also added the translation for "pee".

I said that I broke some of the Category pages in my last update. I forgot about one, the Miscellaneous category. That page was kind of a mess because I forgot how many categories I actually added and it was listing all of them. So I'm cleaning that up. I've clean up some of it, but I'm still going through it and reviewing the words.

I also made another bug fix. The Lessons were not displaying the Peng'im and audio clips correctly. I think I broke this a while ago, but I guess no one (including myself) really views it much.

I fixed some of the Chinese characters that I had for some words, and also provided alternate characters, like in the page for who.

Finally, I added a few translations:

  • to look
  • to taste (this word already existed, but I added another translation)
  • free time
  • busy

That subcategory stuff I added in the last update actually broke the Category page for Phrases, Clock Time, and Numbers. But I quickly fixed it, I hope 😅

I tried really hard to re-record the audio for "black pepper" and "umbrella" because they sound almost the same but have a subtle difference in ending, and I ultimately gave up. They just sound the same in my audio recordings. I did ask my grandma to say both words and I can totally hear the difference when she says it! But it's so hard to pronounce the words correctly myself.

I don't have any obvious updates today. I'm still reviewing the Food/Drink words and making little tweaks here and there.

I'm still going through each of the categories and reviewing the translations. Today I realized that I'm really bad at distinguishing between a "io" and a "ia" sound. Like I don't make them sound different at all. I'm not going to worry about it too much 🙃

I've rerecorded some audio clips and made small changes to the database, but the one big change I added was the the Food/Drink category now has subcategories!
