Mandarin Stuff

• Just publicising some of the resources I use to learn mandarin
• Currently I am working on transferring my written notes to the vocab CSV files that will be interpreted by the Python script eventually
• This will allow for testing of translation, as well as presenting random English / Pinyin to be handwritten as characters on paper

TODO:

• Example functionality separate to definition
• Practice En-Zh and Zh-En functionality
• Difficulty filtering
• Copy over all written notes
• Speed testing?
• Number generator - for practicing translating numbers Zh-En
• Simple sentence generator maybe? (perhaps scraping translation from Google Translate or similar (or using API if there is one))
