## Description

Sinosplice is a long-running online resource dedicated to learning Mandarin Chinese and understanding life in China. Maintained by John Pasden, who has lived in China for more than 26 years, the site brings together practical language-learning guidance, cultural perspectives, and a substantial archive of articles. Its free resources support learners at different stages, covering topics such as Chinese pronunciation, tones, grammar, and the process of learning the language. Featured guides include a beginner’s introduction to pronunciation, an overview of the stages of learning Chinese, and tone-pair drills. The blog explores language and culture through articles on subjects such as Chinese greetings, differences between learning Chinese and Japanese, and the challenges learners may face. Visitors can browse recent posts, classic articles, and the full archive, or visit the dedicated Learn Chinese section for additional materials. Sinosplice also points readers to related resources and projects, including AllSet Learning, the Chinese Grammar Wiki, the Chinese Pronunciation Wiki, and Mandarin Companion.
