[中文]Anyone want to revive this list for a limited run to talk about technology to learn Chinese.

[Gregory Dillon]

Good.  Glad to get some encouragement.    I had about 75 days in China, and
its hard.

But its my belief that the technology ought to change the way we ought to
learn Chinese.   Not just simple things like spaced repetition modules, but
where the hours should be  invested.   For example in English, long hand
writing in script  isn't important now, and spelling skills are different
with spell checking, and there has to be similar for Chinese.  Maybe  the
teaching model, hasn't fully caught up with new technology capabilities. An
interesting article that I saw today, says that Google Glass is developing
to  allow you to look at Chinese text, and see the English translation.
