The Chinese Garden, a community for Chinese-related students, has moved to a new home with a completely new redesign.
It had all begun in one of the classes held by Lin, the university's Chinese teacher. It had been autumn 2001 in the first-year Chinese course, comprised of students who came to the Hebrew University in Jerusalem to study East Asian studies. [...]
Why is the site named "The Chinese Garden"? The reason for this is very simple. In Lin's eyes every student is a rare flower. Flowers grant their beauty and fragrance to whoever passes by, without asking "do you want it or not?".
It moved into a new domain, and Ori has done an amazing job of improving the old platform. Improvements include :
- English support to allow non-Hebrew speaking nationalities to enjoy the Garden. Hopefully, Chinese will be added soon.
- Advanced forums. Some are in Hebrew, some are in Chinese and they all include a bit of English here and there.
- Sorted articles and student works. Language labs will allow you to listen while following the Chinese text.
- Multimedia has a nice collection of Flash Chinese songs with Pinyin/Chinese/Hebrew for fun learning and some Kareoke/KTV.
- A new gallery for some Chinese culture/travel photos.
If you're into Chinese language and culture, come have a look. Let us know what you think…
