I often get the question where I find inspiration for all these articles, and the answer is that as long as I teach Chinese and learn Chinese myself, I will probably never stop\u00a0identifying things that can be done more efficiently or that I find interesting to share for other reasons.<\/p>\n<p>During 2016, I published 47 regular articles (not counting challenge announcements and similar). Below, I have gathered\u00a0the ten best articles of the year, based primarily on how many people have read them, but also on my own opinion. Even if you visit Hacking Chinese regularly, glance through the list and make sure you haven&#8217;t missed anything!<\/p>\n<p>I would also like to thank\u00a0all readers. This site is for you and without regular (and overwhelmingly positive) feedback from you, I would never have been able to find the motivation to write all this and post it online. The knowledge that these articles reach a large number of people all over the world\u00a0and that they benefit from reading is the force that drives Hacking Chinese forward. Thank you!<\/p>\n<p>Without further ado, here are the best articles from 2016:<\/p>\n<h3>\u4e00<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"l0dcLjGLjG\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/using-voice-messaging-practise-speaking-listening\/\">Using voice messaging as a stepping stone to Chinese conversations<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute;
