I hit 60 consecutive days on Duolingo on Wednesday. My favorite recent discovery about Chinese itself is that the word for cat is māo, obviously imitative of a meow. In other words, Chinese has a loanword from Cat!

Last weekend I started using Hello Chinese. I was initially disappointed, but more aspects of it started becoming available after a couple days, so now I feel like I don't have the full measure of it yet. One thing I do appreciate is that it provides explanations and context to explain some of the nuances of new words or grammar that are more difficult to pick up from the drills on Duolingo.
