I can’t imagine I’d have gotten even as far as I have in Chinese if I’d been dutifully reading graded readers, instead of watching dramas and the farming show and reading fics and the occasional article about Zhu Yilong.

I can't claim any fluency at all, but I have learned so much of, about, and in Chinese from dramas, the farming show, songs, guardian_learning, blogs, Zhu Yilong media, etc. etc. The language aspect is part of what keeps me looking for & watching Cdramas. If you're biased, I have the same bias.

I love the assortment of photos! Gorgeous, colorful blossoms and cats! What more can anyone need? :D The tree spilling over from the roof is particularly striking. The black and white cat looks like one of my sister's cats. He had the same black spots by his ears, looking like hair with a part down the middle.
