I received an email a few months back about a new product called ChineseCUBES. I was instantly intrigued, as it was a novel concept, using blocks with Chinese characters on them with augmented reality. I’m definitely a promoter for new and exciting ways to learn languages, especially when it comes to using new technology. Augmented reality has been buzzing for the past two years, especially in mobile phones. I was curious how they will implement this with Chinese characters, so I got sent a copy to review. Here’s a short video provided by them on what it’s about. First Impressions The first thing I noticed the amazing packaging and product design that went into ChineseCUBES.

It’s hard to guess an appropriate size for the cubes, as there hasn’t been a product like this before. In any case, they don’t fall around and are not too clunky. The vast of amount cubes however becomes a bit confusing wh

Skritter is a modern tool for learning ancient characters. It combines research-based methods such as active recall and spaced repetition with great Chinese-specific tools and content.

Here's another dim sum menu, sort of. This one is especially useful because it features only 12 items from a busy upstairs restaurant that offers probably a hundred items. (I ate upstairs.) These take away selections are available for purchase on the street level; no need to go inside. My guess i...
