Learn Chinese
NOTICE:
My idea of this page was to note down here what I learned in Chinese. However re-creating the learning material and my personal notes online turned out to be much more work, than when I write it on paper with a pen. Therefor this page here is no longer edited and will remain to document the history of this page.
