Hello. Thought I’d introduce a website Im working on. Lately I’ve been busy in school because Im doing my thesis right now, so I haven’t worked on it in a while. But I hope to finish this website later. I find it very useful in its current state anyways.

It is a online chinese dictionary. What makes it different is that it is focused on spoken chinese - prioritizing words commonly used in conversations over formal language. This is not implemented yet though, but now its “just another chinese dictionary”. I do think it is still a good alternative to other online dictionaries though - because I like the prioritization of search results, it can translate texts written with chinese characters to pinyin and it automatically detects which language(simplified chinese, traditional chinese, pinyin or english) that you are translating from.

Hope there are other people out there who might find it useful. Check it out at http://spokenchinese.org!

Yesterday when me and my girlfriend were on our way home from downtown I saw a poster about an Umbilical Brothers show here in Gothenburg. Too bad it was on the 15th of April which was that very same day I tried to buy us tickets but they were sold out. I’ve been wanting to watch a show of theirs since a year and a half back or so when I missed another of their shows here in Gothenburg.

Anyways I though I’d tell you how great they are. You really should check them out. I don’t know how to describe what they do… Check out the clips below!
