chinesestudyHooray, a week of writing in the new year! More or less!
A bit less, in my case, at least relative to what I planned. A neat thing I learned about instead: a search for "easy Chinese karaoke songs" led me to a UK band called Transition 前進樂團 that's been singing in Mandarin for more than 10 years. Not only are they popular in Taiwan, their music is used in classrooms to help Chinese learners absorb language through music.
Their website is down right now, but here's their wikipedia page, and a song that's particularly relatable to Chinese learners: Dui Bu Qi 對不起我的中文不好 (YouTube link).
What about you? Did you read, write, or listen to anything interesting this week? New lessons, old TV shows, that one trailer you've been ignoring forever? Any new apps, conversation partners,* or humorous revelations?
*I mean, I've been reading aloud to my dog, which maybe counts. She's a forgiving if not particularly attentive audience.

Though I think that the jazzier live version of 買你 that she released last year is the superior version of the song and I highly recommend checking it out!
