I’m in X\u00e0tiva again!<\/p>\n

\"\"That means great food!<\/p>\n

It also means “nose to the grindstone” as I work on a variety of projects.<\/p>\n

Before leaving Denver, I uploaded an updated version of my “Learning Chinese Provinces: Part One”. Lots of nice improvements included the requested “hint” box that now includes full pinyin with tone marks. If the word “pinyin” leaves you scratching your head, don’t worry. People studying Chinese will understand, and the rest of us will not even notice that item!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, for the moment the new video seems to be somewhat “invisible” because it shares the same name as the older version that I released about a year ago. That version is quickly approaching 6,000 views. OK, I know that number is not very impressive in the overall context of Youtube, especially when measured against “hate videos” which garner hundreds of thousands of views…
\nOh well… an educational video is no match…<\/p>\n

(Update February 2024: Well, several updates later, there is a new version of this “Part One” which now has over 40 thousand views. (Still a tiny fraction of even the stupidest posts available on YouTube, and a tiny fraction of the number of views for offensive racist\/hate-speech videos! oh well!)
\nParts Two and Three have completed the provinces series. There are now Spanish and French versions of that series and an Italian version of just the first part. I have expanded the videos to include a series on the provincial capitals as well as a couple of miscellaneous ones related to China! More coming in the future! If you want to see, skip the dreaded YouTube copies, and instead take a look at my “Pere-X” site.

On that site you can choose to navigate in English, Spanish, French, Italian, or Chinese!<\/p>\n
