I like horses quite a lot and view this as an auspicious sign indeed! As i have done previous years, I will take the opportunity to step back a bit and look at this website from a distance and share with you some thought of what was and what will be on Hacking Chinese. Of course, I&#8217;m also interested in your opinion!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What did you think of Hacking Chinese in 2013?<\/li>\n<li>What do you expect from Hacking Chinese in 2014?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/fireworks.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"Fireworks\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/fireworks-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>Hacking Chinese in 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As usual, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/hacking-chinese-20122013-what-was-and-what-will-be\/\">the plans I detailed for 2013 <\/a>didn&#8217;t all come true. It&#8217;s true that I have written quite a lot and almost certainly will be able to publish a book or two in 2014, but I spent way too little time on such projects last year. Not only that, I seem to be overly cautious by nature. I consider each step a little bit too carefully before taking it. Still, 2013 wasn&#8217;t all wasted opportunities and squandered time:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I published <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/?page_id=548\">56 articles<\/a> on Hacking Chinese<\/li>\n<li>I arranged three Hacking Chinese <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/tag\/meet-up\/\">meet-ups<\/a><\/li>\n<li>I did a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/hacking-chinese-site-update-march-2013\/\">big site update<\/a> in March<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve tweaked the website numerous times<\/li>\n<li>I started financing the site using ads<\/li>\n<li>The number of visitors more than doubled<\/li>\n<li>359 learners signed up for <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/ep20g\">the weekly newsletter<\/a><\/li>\n<li>I tweeted <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HackingChinese\">1676 times<\/a> about learning Chinese<\/li>\n<li>I got 2547 new followers <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HackingChinese\">on Twitter<\/a><\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve received 1104 new likes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HackingChinese\">on Facebook<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>My personal top ten articles from 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An interesting aspect of publishing articles on Hacking Chinese is that it&#8217;s sometimes very hard to predict which articles will become popular. I have already shared the most read articles from 2013 on Twitter, so now it&#8217;s time to look at which articles I think were the most important this year. There&#8217;s some overlap with the popular vote, but not much:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a title=\"View post Preparing for rainy days and dealing with slumps\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/preparing-for-rainy-days-and-dealing-with-slumps\/\">Preparing for rainy days and dealing with slumps<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"View post Learning the right chengyu the right way\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/learning-the-right-chengyu-the-right-way\/\">Learning the right chengyu the right way<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"View post The Cthulhu bubble and studying Chinese\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/the-cthulhu-bubble-and-studying-chinese\/\">The Cthulhu bubble and studying Chinese<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"View post 21 essential dictionaries and corpora for learning Chinese\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/21-essential-dictionaries-and-corpora-for-learning-chinese\/\">21 essential dictionaries and corpora for learning Chinese<\/a><\/li>\n<li><em><\/em><a title=\"View post Dealing with near-synonyms in Chinese as an independent learner\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/dealing-with-near-synonyms-in-chinese-as-an-independent-learner\/\">Dealing with near-synonyms in Chinese as an independent learner<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"View post You might be too lazy to learn Chinese, but you\u2019re not too old\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/you-might-be-too-lazy-to-learn-chinese-but-youre-not-too-old\/\">You might be too lazy to learn Chinese, but you\u2019re not too old<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"View post Phonetic components, part 1: The key to 80% of all Chinese characters\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/phonetic-components-part-1-the-key-to-80-of-all-chinese-characters\/\">Phonetic components, part 1: The key to 80% of all Chinese characters<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"View post Chinese character challenge: Towards a more sensible way of learning to write Chinese\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/chinese-character-challenge-towards-a-more-sensible-way-of-learning-to-write-chinese\/\">Chinese character challenge: Towards a more sensible way of learning to write Chinese<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"View post Standard pronunciation in Chinese and why you want it\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/standardised-pronunciation-in-chinese-and-why-you-want-it\/\">Standard pronunciation in Chinese and why you want it<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"View post You shouldn\u2019t walk the road to Chinese fluency alone\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/you-shouldnt-walk-the-road-to-chinese-fluency-alone\/\">You shouldn\u2019t walk the road to Chinese fluency alone<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Hacking Chinese in 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t been very good at finishing major projects, but considering that I will both have more time to spend and that I have already done a lot, I expect more stand-alone products to be published in 2014 (this probably means mainly e-books about learning Chinese, and &#8220;more&#8221; means more than nothing). I have lots of ideas, so don&#8217;t be surprised if I produce other, perhaps rather unexpected products!<\/p>\n<p>The main difference between 2014 and any previous year is that it&#8217;s time for me to see how realistic it is to spend time working with Hacking Chinese in the future. After I graduate, I need to earn my living somehow, and if you like what I do here enough, I might be able to keep spending significant amounts of time on Hacking Chinese. Thus, my goal is to spend <em>more <\/em>time on Hacking Chinese, not less. This comes with one very important question:<\/p>\n<p><strong>If I spend more time on Hacking Chinese, what do you want me to do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Obviously, the &#8220;hidden&#8221; condition here is that I will charge for some extra services or products I add. The basic website as it is now will always be free, but if I invest more time than I currently do, it will need to be financed somehow. I don&#8217;t know yet if this will be through subscriptions, crowd funding or directly by products you can buy on the site, such as e-books; I might try all of these. If you have any feedback regarding this, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/about\/#contact\">send me an e-mail<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Another major issue I need to solve is how to maintain the site technically. I have numerous ideas for cool ways of making the site better and offering cooler ways of learning Chinese, but some of them requires coding, something I can only pretend to know the basics of at the moment (I know enough to make simple modifications to what other people have already done).<\/p>\n<p>One alternative is for me to spend a few months learning to program for the web, but actually, I would much rather spend that time teaching people Chinese, writing e-books and so on. Therefore, I&#8217;m also looking for someone who might be able to help me out with the technical aspects of the development of the site, please <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/about\/#contact\">send me an e-mail<\/a> if you&#8217;re interested! I don&#8217;t expect you to work for free, but as long as I don&#8217;t have any significant income from the site, I won&#8217;t be able to compete with other employers in terms of salary either.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thank you!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If I&#8217;m not making much money from the site, why do I keep spending so much time? Because I like it! I receive massive amounts of positive support from readers and every single donation, e-mail, comment, like and retweet matter!
