r/Chinese

Learn 九牛一毛 (jiǔ niú yī máo), which literally means 'nine oxen and one hair.' It's used to describe something utterly insignificant. Can you use it in a sentence?

I got this at a thrift store, I felt quite drawn too it. I was wondering if someone would tell me what shape these jade pieces are carved into and what they might mean?

Hey everyone

I've been building a language learning app called Conversa that focuses on something most apps skip: actually talking. As a long time language learner I built this for myself as a way to help progress my Chinese beyond Duolingo to actually being able to have conversations.

It's not flashcards. It's not multiple choice. You just... talk. The conversations adapt to your level while introducing small amounts of new vocabulary to learn through context and use while getting real time feedback.

I'm looking for 20-30 beta testers to try it out over the next few weeks and give honest feedback. 

If that sounds interesting, sign up here: https://www.heyconversa.com/#tester-signup

Happy to answer any questions in the comments.
