I like it when you also make the infographics in traditional Chinese since that’s what I’m learning. Please keep doing that.
Karen
Hi Megan, thank you for your feedback. We will definitely keep making more infographics. We believe those are the great studying tools. However, the HSK tests are only provided in Chinese simplified version so far. For better preparation, it is better for learners to get used to this setting. It is good you study in traditional Chinese. You can answer either simplified or traditional Chinese! 🙂 Happy learning!!
