I saw a post on Facebook about a Netflix show called Flavorful Origins, and I watched the first episode on olives. It made me really want those Chinese black salted olives.
I added a few translations for words I heard my grandma say today:
- black olive
- cooked
- chewy
- crazy
I have not added the audio for these yet. I've had to modify some of the scripts I wrote years ago to handle UTF-8 better.
Finally, I've added a little more to the About page, so it says which dialect of Teochew my family speaks.

4 years later!!
Since my last update, I've added a few words and removed a lot of words. It's been years since I've updated the site, and I wanted to remove all the translations I didn't immediately recognize.
I also changed the romanization of the words so it's using the tone numbers instead of accent marks. The accent marks were originally taken from What TC Say, and using numbers is more of the standard. Plus now I don't have to render accent marks.
Finally, I've updated the Links and the About page.

I know, it's been way too long since I last updated. Life just got in the way. Anyway, I haven't forgotten about this, and I'm just slowly working my way back into learning Chinese again and updating this site. As for the actual changes...
- Added some more words
- You can now search for action words without using "to"

Once again, it's been a while since the last update. Today I spent a bunch of time thinking about the translations for "today", "yesterday", and "tomorrow" and I realized that everyone has their own way to say these words. I've added some more entries to try to cover all of the variations.
I gave a presentation at The Perl Conference last week about this app, so who knows, maybe this site will hit a tiny bump in traffic!

It's been a while since the last update because I've been a bit busy. I added a new section to the site that has lessons. Right now I just have two pages, one for numbers and one that is a reference to the different tones. Eventually I will make the numbers one longer and add more explanation to the tone page. I also made some smaller changes, like making the extra text for some of the english words larger. I've added more words and phrases, and I'm still working through my long list of words that I need to add.
