This month’s challenge over at Hacking Chinese is about learning vocabulary. This is of course a perfect fit for Skritter, which is all about characters and words.
Thus, Skritter will sponsor this challenge, which means that:
- New users will get free access for the duration of the challenge, and that
- Everyone, including current users, can win prizes, including three 6-month subscriptions, randomly distributed among participants in the top 10
Hacking Chinese Challenges are about building language skills through daily practice and friendly competition. You set a goal for the challenge and update your progress. You will then be shown how you’re doing compared to the goal you set.
Jake and I recorded a video where we discuss the challenge, including learning Chinese vocabulary, setting reasonable goals, building habits and much else. Check it out here:
