Thanks for the mention, Olle.

“but I think China and Chinese are much more in focus than other countries. ”

I would it’s about 99.5% China / Chinese. I don’t actually *really* learn Japanese or Korean, just meddle with them and admire the look of the writing 😛

To address that, I’ve actually set up a new presence which I’ll shamelessly plug here. Chinese Boost ( https://twitter.com/ChineseBoost ) focuses entirely on Mandarin Chinese, without all the random stuff I’ve tended to put up on East Asia Student over the years.

[…] Facebook (Web, iOS) – Facebook kann ausnahmsweise auch einen produktiven Nutzen haben: Hinter dem Link habe ich eine individuell erstellte Facebookliste zusammengestellt, der man hier folgen kann und die die Facebookpages verschiedene Chinesisch-Lernpages und Dienste beinhaltet. Diese sind teilweise auf völlig unterschiedlichem Niveau, von daher auch nur rudimentär von Nutzen. Aber man findet dort immer wieder neue, interessante Zeichen, die man noch nicht kennt und es schadet auch nicht, schon mal öfter ein paar Sätze zu lesen und zu entziffern versuchen, selbst wenn der eigene Wortschatz noch längst nicht dafür ausreicht. Dasselbe geht im Grunde auch mit Twitter. […]

A very nice list! Thank you for including me.
I like your article – Why learning Chinese through music is underrated. Learning Mandarin through singing songs is an enjoyable and effective way to learn Chinese! Sing to learn:)
