Btw, if anyone is interested in Mandarin subs2srs decks, you can get in touch with me via PM. I've only put together four decks so far, but that's well over 4,000 cards. Not all the cards are useful, though (timing a bit off, some cards have other languages like Shanghainese or Cantonese, or it's just too noisy to hear clearly), but most of them are good.

I can also share a 白蛇传说 deck (search on Youtube if you don't know the movie). PM me.

Thanks Crush and Expugnator for your corrections! Actually while reading those, I was
thinking I was pretty stupid because pretty much all of what you said, I had studied or
seen before. Another proof my active skills are lacking behind.
Thanks especially for the correction for 我把我的课都学完了 Crush. I knew I got it wrong
and was hoping for someone to correct it but even spending some time on it, I couldn't
find it on my own.
And also thanks for sharing with the team Crush and Lorinth. I am currently trying to
take a break from Anki so I'm good for now but I might take you guys up on the offer.;)

So, I thought I'd add another link for yet another Mandarin language veteran (I think he already speaks it now), leosmith. It's on the polydog
forum and I think it has some pretty useful advice. Here you go guys.
On the Japanese front, for those of you still working on the kanji and would like a little help with stroke order, the Yamasa Institute has a very
good kanji dictionary that you could consult if you're unsure about the
writing. I refer to it a lot.
Ah, I need to update my resource list again, there's still a bunch of stuff I've got to add...
How are we all doing with our studies? Anymore monthly challenge volunteers ;)

For learning stroke order, i don't think anything really beats Skritter. I picked up stroke
order more or less naturally just going by what Skritter allows. Though i definitely
recommend you get a Wacom tablet or something similar, it's much more enjoyable that way.

True. I mostly picked it up from Heisig, and I think after a few kanji you get a feel for how
to go about it. I would double-check later any unknown kanji I encounter to make sure I got
the stroke order right, and more often than not, I was.
You do need a subscription for Skritter, though, which isn't entirely feasible for some. It's
still an indispensable resource, and I'm putting it up on the list. Thank you, Crush.
