*Note- topic should read: Hats off to Skritter *

Well, I just got done with my first midterm as a graduate student here in Taiwan. The test was mostly essay and short answer, comparing and contrasting various teaching theories and looking at particular vocabulary items within those theories. Basically it was a three hour character writing marathon. I have to say, without Skritter I couldn't have done it. Although international students were able to use a dictionary, I only had to open mine once (to look up a term in an essay prompt), everything else came from memory.

It is official, this is the best Character learning website on the web!

Congrats on your midterm! That's gotta feel good.

謝謝！我真的有成就感。

shouldn't it be "hats OFF to Skritter"

You may call me Grammar Nazi if you wish :P

wow... quite a big typo. I wish I could edit the subject.

@SkritterJake,

Don't let your English get too rusty :)

(sorry for the off topic response)

@thedrunkingpig...
From your profile, you're from Scotland? I haven't found another Scottish person learning Chinese since leaving school! What made you go to China?

@SkritterJake, which university are you studying at?

@Tortue

國立臺灣師範大學的華語文教學研究所 (National Taiwan Normal University department of teaching Chinese as a second language).
