Hi, this is BM Lee, the founder of Neehow (nee.how). I hope Neehow can heIp more people learn Chinese, no matter where they are.

Neehow is an educational platform for learning Mandarin Chinese online. It uses artificial intelligence technology and speech recognition algorithms to automatically score users, analyzing from four dimensions: pronunciation, intonation, accuracy, and completeness. Because there is no manual intervention, users can learn anytime, anywhere, without any restrictions.

Neehow 是一个线上学习中文(普通话)的教育平台。它使用人工智能技术和语音识别算法来自动给用户评分,从发音、语调、准确度和完整度四个维度分析。因为没有任何人工干预,用户无论在何时何地都可以学习,没有任何限制。

Hi, I’ve also found it difficult but found it interesting learning a new language while working on projects. For Chinese I found it easier to have lessons where other languages I could study these with books instead, especially business Chinese (chineseonlinecourses.com/adults/bu...), because it's very different from others. And it's unlikely you'll need to learn everyday conversation Chinese unless you wish to learn more of course. How about asking to cover certain areas or topics in business Chinese with a 1-on-1 teacher.

is xpinyin better than just basic "pinyin" ?
libraries.io/pypi/pinyin

I'd be keen to know what other libraries you've found for working with chinese/python. Is there a good wrapper for the cedict ?

I'm also looking for a way to grade the difficulty level of Hanzi, do you know of some tool with word frequency already prepared?

btw I'm been working on this site for studying Chinese grammar:
lex.chat/study

Thanks!
