Recommended resources

I have decided not to do general reviews on Hacking Chinese, but instead only write about resources I thoroughly recommend. Whenever I stumble upon something which is really good or exceptionally useful for other learners, I will write about it. Thus, these are recommendations rather than reviews. Some are books, some websites, some software; all are excellent.

If you have a particular resource you’d like to recommend, please let me know. I can’t guarantee that I will check it out or that I will write a recommendation even if I do, but I’m always interested in expanding my horizons.
