About Me & The Project šŸ‘

Hello! I'm SunnySalamander, a tech professional based in Canada.

I started Taozi•Hanyu (Peach Chinese) because I found most language apps... lacking. They teach you how to say "apple," but they don't teach you how to be polite or how to understand the slang used in actual group chats.

Why "Taozi"?​

In Chinese culture, the Peach (攃子 - TÔozi) symbolizes longevity and immortality. Learning a language is a long journey, so I thought it fit perfectly!

The Philosophy​

I built this site to mirror the two stages of learning:

  1. 🌿 The Learning Garden: The safe place where grammar rules are strict and clear.
  2. šŸŒ‡ The Living City: The chaotic real world where rules are broken and slang reigns supreme.

Tech Stack​

This site is built with:

  • Docusaurus (Static Site Generator)
  • React & TypeScript
  • Custom Pixel Art Assets
