This is powered by the new WebApp that my husband has been developing - "Yaya.press" so you can easily read the Chinese, Pinyin and English interlaced, with all the vocabulary embedded in the article. When you hover on the words, you can also see the meaning and prononciation.

    In the meantime, you can also register a free account, and generate a short dialogue, article or story with any topics you want and any languages you want to learn! All the articles are generated automatically by ChatGPT. It is like Magic!
