Flashcards from maxiewawa!

Hey guys! I wrote this in my blog today. I won't bother writing it all again, so I'll just cut/paste:

Since I started learning Chinese in earnest 3 years ago, I’ve been diligently making electronic flash cards for myself. These have been simple, small jpg files that I’ve loaded into my phone or iPod, and gone through whenever I’ve had the chance. You can see what they look like here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6AisYnJ8y

Recently I lost my entire hard drive which deleted every photo that I have taken over the last few years, and as a final cruel blow, I have somehow deleted the thousands of flash cards that I had in my iPod. I’m particularly upset about this, because it has been like a diary of my journey learning Chinese and Japanese… I used to be able to look back on my progress in a very real way. I’d be able to see words that I’ve mastered and recognise my first steps to understand them. All of these thousands of flashcards are now gone.

But my loss is a gain to you, dear reader! I’ve recently taken to backing up everything that I do. My flashcards are now online at my new Flickr page, along with any other photos that I want to keep online. I have put them there not only to safeguard against any catastrophe that might delete them from my computer or iPod, but also for anyone else who might find them useful.

They are primarily for my own use. So you might find Korean words with Japanese definitions, or Japanese/Korean words with no definitions except for the 漢字, or lines from comic books that don’t really make sense out of context… I just hope that at least someone might find them (or at least the idea of electronic flashcards) useful.

どうも！Hope you can find them useful. There's quite a bit of Japanese there. I haven't put in any definitions for most of them though, since they are the same as Chinese. Feel free to use them, alter them, etc[/quote]
