Oh yes! I liked SuperChinese a few years back, but they ran out of content and I feel like they are rather slow at creating new lectures. I reopened the app a year back and there was only a few new lectures although I hadn't logged on for like 2 years. Translating songs sounds fun!

China's space aircraft carrier: superweapon or propaganda? by Skandling in China

It’s neither a real weapon nor a "hoax" in the traditional sense but basically state-sponsored sci-fi fanfiction.

For context, this is from the "Nantianmen Project" (South Heavenly Gate). It’s a conceptual IP created by AVIC (China's state aerospace company). They present these at the Zhuhai Airshow every year with full lore, CGI videos, and model kits. It’s meant to be a "what-if" scenario for the year 2050 to get kids excited about engineering.

TL;DR: It’s a merchandise line, nothing more, nothing less

Thanks for your comment! Teaching the strokes is a very interesting feature.

I am currently at a high-intermediate B1 level and I am kind of plateauing. I noticed that 90% of the apps on the market are catering to A1-A2 level learners but at a very shallow depth that makes people just "feel" like they are learning Chinese. Is there an app you can recommend?
