KEYWORD:

To Respond

Pinyin:

yìng

Actor:

yi-/y-  Female

Set:

-(e)ng

Room within Set:

Bathroom or Backyard

Prop(s):

广  Bus Stop Awning

⺍ NEW:Tyrion Lannister doing a handstand. Why? Because this is related to 小 which we had previously given the prop of Tyrion, but if you didn’t pick him you can find another way to make your “small” prop a bit different to fit this different form.

一  Razor Blade

400 characters and approximately 700 words (not counting the top-down words we also recognize due to frequency)! It is so very satisfying how much progress is possible. I echo everyone's expressions of excitement, enthusiasm and gratitude for the course. Thanks again you guys!

Mandarin Blueprint

What great progress, Ann! Keep going with that flow ;)

It feels AMAZING to reach 400 characters, in less than 2 months since I started. I never would have thought it possible in a million years. Haven't yet missed a single day of Anki. I don't think I've ever been so completely absorbed in anything in my life, not in decades anyway. My family is worried about my mental health.:)

Actor: Yoko Ono (yi-)
Set: Bathroom of my -eng set
Props: Bus Shelter (广), Statue of Liberty (⺍ - because to me it looks like a hand holding something up by the fingertips), Razor Blade (一)
Yoko Ono is lying unconscious on the bench in the bus shelter hooked up to a heart monitor showing an irregular heart rate and a large tumor on the side of her body. Lady Liberty (wearing a doctor's uniform) is desperately trying to wake her up. She tries the static pads to jolt her awake, she even tries slapping her in the face. Still no RESPONSE! "Urgh! Why isn't she RESPONDING!?!". Running out of time she grabs a nearby giant razor blade and hastily cuts off the tumor, making Yoko jolt awake taking in a deep breath. She then hugs Lady Liberty for saving her life.

I almost didn't notice we're at 400 characters until I saw the comments! What a cool milestone, it's wild to think I could sit down and write 400 Chinese characters.

Phil, Luke - I really like your system - can't believe I know these 400 characters so well.

Incredible progress! Not to mention, because what we've created is really just a framework, I'd say that it's YOUR system now ;).

Eve (yi-) is in the bathroom at the Engineering Blgd (-ng) yelling at her iRobot (广) trying to get it to stop vacuuming up things. Stop you robot you’re about to eat up my fake Eyelashes (⺍). Wait nooo, you about to eat up that ninja star (一). This thing just will not RESPOND to me. The iRobot finally stops and RESPONDS, try asking nicely next time.
