I'm a language student and teacher who has quite a lot of opinions on how to learn languages more efficiently. Since I think there is a severe lack of people discussing how to learn (rather than just what to learn), I'm running a website called Hacking Chinese, welcome!

comment How do you emphasize unformatted Chinese text?
I have never seen the dots, actually. Perhaps it's a Mainland/Taiwan thing. Does anyone know?

comment What's the subject of this sentence?
I think it can mean a lot of things. Since the subject is left out, it could be anything, but should be obvious from the context.

comment Informal ways of beginning/ending an e-mail
Is this really correct? I have numerous e-mails from people I have never met that open with this line. Here are two examples, the first from my university and the second from the TOP test committee: 1) 親愛的大家 2) 親愛的考生您好

comment 血: xuè , xiě, what's the difference?
I think it should be mentioned that xie3 is the standard pronunciation in Taiwan, or at least the one given for most words containing this character in the MoE dictionaries. I don't think I've ever heard "xue4" here.

comment Pinyin “ying” has an “o” sound?
This pronunciation can be found in very standardised Taiwanese Mandarin as well, such as heard on language proficiency exams and similar.

comment What software can correct pronunciation?
Does it test tone combinations? If not, I would say its use is rather limited.
