		<title>Cantonese Learning Materials</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a bit easier than with Southern Min, but it really wasn&#8217;t that easy for me to find Cantonese learning materials. I found online dictionaries, but none with audio. There are some very basic youtube videos, but only a few. I emailed a few people with blogs that mentioned learning Cantonese, but nobody had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trying Pimsleur Cantonese in Hong Kong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few years, I&#8217;ve heard a number of really positive reviews of Pimsleur language learning programs. Some of my friends have even lent me their Mandarin or Japanese packages. At the time it was hard for me to see the point. I had already learned the vocabulary being introduced, half the audio was [...]]]></description>

		<title>My First Impressions of Hong Kong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just recently arrived in Hong Kong for the first time. It&#8217;s not at all what I&#8217;d expected from all of the HK movies I&#8217;ve seen, or even from what my friends have told me. The Airport The airport in Hong Kong was fantastic. It was very clean and new-looking. I found the immigration and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Hardest Thing about Taiwanese Phonics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve come to value learning phonics well. Both through my experience teaching English as a foreign language and as a student of a number of foreign languages, it&#8217;s become clear to me that it&#8217;s time well invested. I don&#8217;t worry too much if my pronunciation lags a bit, but not being able to distinguish the [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Search for Taiwanese Study Materials</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The very first difficulty I had after deciding to learn some Taiwanese a few months ago was finding appropriate materials.  Despite being surrounded by Taiwanese as a second language in Taipei, very little of what I heard was useful.  With almost no foundation to start from, local radio wasn&#8217;t much help.  I tried watching some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Studying Minnanhua in Taiwan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Towards the end of this Chinese New Year, I started studying Taiwanese[1]. Though most people in Taiwan speak Mandarin Chinese now, it wasn&#8217;t always the case. Even now, there are a lot of people who prefer to speak Taiwanese and I think almost everyone here can understand at least a bit. That said, Taipei city [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hello, space people!  Are you hungry?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past several weeks, I&#8217;ve been learning a bit more of the Taiwanese (AKA Minnan) language. One interesting thing I&#8217;ve recently discovered is that Minnan is one of the many languages included in the spaceship voyager&#8217;s greeting message. I was listening to the greeting message NASA sent out of our solar system to see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Firefox Tweaks: Search from your location bar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are two customizations I always perform when I install Firefox on a computer. First I merge the location and search bars into a single bar that can be used for either. This is especially useful if you ever have problems with the bars getting too scrunched up when you&#8217;re not using the whole screen [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Reconsidering China</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, I found this announcement via Hacker News. Google says their servers were attacked, and that the primary goal was the gmail accounts of rights activists. They said that their security protecting email data wasn&#8217;t breached. However, their own investigation revealed that several rights activists email accounts have been routinely accessed by what appear to [...]]]></description>

For anyone with an iPhone, or iPod Touch, there are enough apps available to outclass dedicated electronic dictionaries in many cases. Better yet, there are enough free apps to satisfy quite a few language learners! The Basic Tools The things that I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>
